Also, back to the thread at hand. I love that we are spending top dollar on recruiting as we should. Just want top dollar results. Pretty simple

I couldn't find any current recruiting numbers for pUKe. In 2010, they spent the most of any public University at $434,095. Followed by Kansas and Florida. Wisconsin on the other hand spent less than any other team in the six major conferences, $57,397. http://www.kentucky.com/2011/03/26/1685078/kentucky-basketball-leads-nation.html


pUKe's preseason trip to the Bahamas this year cost nearly $800,000. http://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/columnists/himmelsbach/2015/01/15/kentucky-basketball-paid-several-hundred-thousand-dollars-face-national-teams-bahamas/21806935/

Recruiting is very insignificant compared to coaching. If Bo Ryan were the coach at IU, he would never even need to get on a plane to leave the state. He could run circles around a Tom Crean coached team with IPFW talent.

I wouldn't go that far. Recruiting is the life blood of a program, you have to recruit at a pretty high level to have success and sustain it. Some coaches can get the most out of the talent they do have, I don't believe for a moment that Crean is one of them, but they still need talented teams.

Just saw the other day Bo Ryan has 1 top 40 recruiting class since 2010. Wonder what he spends?

It is actually a rolling 4 year investment as well as a rolling 4 year ROI. Crean would have $2.8 invested in Yogi's class in 2012 he would have $2.8 invested in Troy's class in 2013 and he had $2.8 invested in Priller's class in 2014. This is just going off the $700k per year that was provided. So the 2014 class and as of today the 2015 class are not looking like a very good ROI.

Looking like a 700+k per year for an extremely high strikeout rate! He has any and all resources available to succeed here and he is not close to doing that.
