I know many on here have strong feelings against JP, but I still find it humorous that both sides of the argument are used against him here 1. Why is he out recruiting and making offers when there are no scholarships to give. 2. Why isn't he out there recruiting local seniors at the State tournament. It seems no matter which way the guy goes he can get hammered. This is an equal opportunity board. Choose your side of the argument and hammer away. My position is that a long as it is open recruiting season you or your staff should be on the trail and evaluating talent and making offers. As to not being here when a kid was visiting Vermont and other programs recently, my hope is that Siena wants to be the last place he visits and then closes the deal, but I guess I'm always the optimist until proven wrong, (which I have been in the past but I hope it doesn't happen this time.) There are always 13 ships to give. This is where you first spot sophomores who have talent etc. the point is this is the season where college basketball coaches are out in force recruiting not just for this year but for the future and our $400k guy is lounging on a beach in Southeast Asia. Hard to support a guy like that. It's fine like Saintsfan says "vote with your $$". I do exactly that and give my haritablwmdknations somehwere else.

BTW, you do realize that most D1 recruiting takes place today in the AAU circuit, not at the high school level. It allow coaches to see many more prospects at one time playing with and against the best of the best. How many D1 coaches are in attendance at Glens Falls this weekend?

I have seen at least two MAAC Referees doing this Weekends Sweet 16/Elite 8 Games.
The white guy who is the tall bald dude the other night and in today's Forida/South Carolina game, the high stepping black referee.
They appear to call a much different game in these games than they do in the MAAC Games, letting a lot more go in these games.
No wonder that these games flow so much better than our MAAC Games.

The talent level being different, in my opinion, directly influences how the game is called.

Sorry, no excuse for NOT being at the State Tourney, especially when it's in your backyard. Some reasons people dont think about: 1) What if Jimmy runs into a BCS assistant and he's got a kid he wants to recommend for transfer down to the MM level? 2) SCHEDULING. Same reason. Bumping into various coaches and "holding court" as we used to call it, is all part of the big picture. We might be able to get a big game out of achance meeting in Glens Falls. 3) What if Jimmy was offered a job from a BCS HC? For our reasons, and selfish one, it makes all the sense in the world to attend this event.
Coaches I know were asking where our guys were. Trust me, the absence is noticeable. It's not a good look. Especially when this year is a pivotal one in keeping his job.

MANY D1 coaches tells us nothing. How about some specific names of D1 Coaches and from what programs? That is the problem with many of the posts on here, no specifics and no substantiated facts to back of the absurd posts.

You'll defend Jimbo come hell or high water. You have zero credibility!

Just par for the course, nothing surprises me at all with this coach.

You don't know me bigsaintg... one thing I am not is lazy... so I would appreciate you avoid the personal attacks. I am quite confident in my work ethic. Typical response on here. Attacks with no personal knowledge or facts to back up what is posted. I asked for coaches names... still have not seen any posted and no MAAC Schools or coaches named.

oneindian, you do not know me either.... So avoid the immature personal attacks. Where have I apologized for anyone on here? Again, when you guys have no facts or details to back your posts and are asked to do so you respond with personal attacks on those who are asking.
