If I'm Lewis, I'm going after dudes in the portal from the region. Phinisee, Lander, Dontaie Allen, transfers from Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Louisville, Xavier etc. I mean why not? No reason to try and keep that Ball State roster together. 

Good call on Lander.  That would make sense IMO.

If he does go after them, he shouldn't have them take an official visit.  Because......Muncie.

Sparks?

I would think he'd beg him to reconsider.

Keep him I guess. But that roster ain't done squat for a reason. 

They haven’t done squat because they haven’t been well coached. Whitford has had talent to win in the MAC and hasn’t gotten it done.

I went to Ball State, so I still follow them from afar. James Whitford was hands down the worst coach I've seen at this level, anywhere, and BSU kept him for 9 years. He sucked at everything, and I mean everything that a coach needs to do. Lazy recruiter, low-energy, full of excuses, more worried about hurting players' feelings than trying to coach them. Going from Whitford to Lewis is going to be quite a shock for the players who do return. Hopefully it's not too ugly in the beginning, but it won't be a quick fix.

Happy for Michael that he got a HC gig. Just wish it was at a better place than BSU. I think Lewis is too talented for that school. I was hoping for a Xavier type school somewhere in the midwest.

But I hope he over achieves!
