Steve Alford is who recruited him the first time to UCLA.

Yup, obviously the key factor.

Transferring to Nevada

They finished the year 19-12 with 89 NET. 1-9 Q1/Q2 record and a first round loss to Wyoming in the MWC tourney

They are losing 4 of their top 6 players to graduation .. so lots of minutes available.

More power to him. Neveda is where players go to die. Play lots of minutes, flame out and ride off into the susnet

[Woodrow]

Weird. Alford is from the Bob Knight mold of coaching. If he didn't like GGG's style I don't think he will thrive with Alford.

I think that mold may have been broken years ago.

Alford (who got fired from a school that wanted to talk to Marshall) may be a plus for GS, but there is no doubt that Nevada is a step down and the MWC is a big step down.

Losing UCONN and having only one team in the too-early top 25 (Houston) next season, are we certain the MWC and AAC are not on equal footing? It's not like the AAC has set the world on fire in men's college basketball since we've been a member. This is a lateral move to reunite with a coach that he obviously is fond of.

[Shock Top]

He'll be able to be "the guy" there.

So, if Nevada is NET 48 next year, and we are NET 89, is it a big step down?

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Not surprised. Like Shockm said, Alford recruited him to UCLA. Should get a ton of minutes and nobody expecting him to answer for missteps.

Yes. "We" are sure.

Nothing against GS. I can't imagine him being the guy next year for us if he had stayed.

SD St was a big plus for the MWC this year, but even with their Top 5 finish, the MWC was well below the AAC.

MWC had 4 in the top 100 NET: (#4, 40, 89, 90)
AAC had 7 in the top 100 NET: (#20, 41, 51, 59, 60, 78, 88). So go ahead and take out UGONE at 60.

MWC had 4 101-199 in NET: (#106, 128, 143, 161)
AAC had 4 101-199 in NET: (#116, 124, 125, 168)

MWC had 3 200+ in NET: (#220, 271, 287)
AAC had 1 200+ in NET: (#208)

In the old RPI system, the AAC was #7 at .544. #6 was ACC at .558, or .014 higher.

In the old RPI system, the MWC was #10 at .520. That's .024 behind the AAC with WCC .534 and Atlantic 10 .539 ahead of them and the MVC just behind them at .518

Not sure what he expects, but to be “the guy”, he needs to figure out if he’s a PG or SG cuz he wasn’t very good at either here.

You think too globally. If GS ends up being on a better team next year, is that a step down? Just asking.
