Who Replaces Gene?

[Ricardo del Rio]

I think we'll just have to trust ADES judgment

No thanks.

Sneaky use of the backspace, Ricky :)

I guess it's all perception. I view the west side as Grape ground. Seems like I see tons of Powercats out west, with western Kansas after-college transplants buying their 1300 SF builder's grade mansions to impress ma and pa back home.

I see way more Shocker gear on cars and people out east than I do west. But again, that perception thing...

Look at it this way, 3G and GS both live in that geographic outline that Metalkatz laid out (at least Gene did before his divorce). I'm pretty sure Sexton lives east. Metric craptons of professors live east. Our biggest of boosters live east.

Yeah we just moved back to wichita and bought a house in the boundries I specified. I have always known HCGM lived out here, but never really knew in which development. I know were not neighbors but Ive always been curious. If you know pm me. Ive heard him say its near or on a golf course, So Ive always assumed Terradyn.

Most important hire he has had to make and he is in Orlando at some athletic conference.

I assume that would be the NACDA Convention which runs through June 15th.

Not sure how many days ADES is attending but that would tend to indicate this won't be finalized until next week.

I don't think it is any big secret, he lives in Pinnacle, on Crestview. I bet you could even find that out on Google.

I've been on the Butler bandwagon since this search started. Recruiting is the most important thing in baseball and this guy can recruit.

I question whether he can develop these recruits. Development is crucial at a school like wsu.

[Spaulding]

No thanks.

Why?

I have no doubt he is a solid recruiter but again I would like to stress he achieved his success recruiting for SEC teams. Does anyone know how his recruiting at mcneese went? Obviuosly he wasn't going to recruit the best there but did he out recruit the rest of the south land?

Did Scott Sutton come to Wichita to interview with Schaus after Turgeon left? I can't remember.

It seems to me that Marshall's name wasn't very public about the WSU opening and then boom, he was hired. Am I misremembering?

Wasn't he coming up to interview, but on the way up changed his mind and turned around and went back. If I remember correctly he never actually arrived in Wichita.

From what I recall, Sutton was on his way by car for an interview with JS, had second thoughts, and turned around and went home.

EDIT: Looks like jdmee and I replied at the same time.

Is everyone missing the fact that the people who have done the recruiting in the past were BK and JT? So, we have kept BK around and I assume he will still do most of the recruiting. Head coaches generally do not recruit. The assistant recruit the kids and the HC puts the final stamp on them.

Possibility that Heefner wanted to bring his pitching coach from DBU but told he had to use BK which made him turn us down ?

I imagine that was something he would have known before coming all the way up to interview.
