Re: Stew's recruiting
While true, a bucket and a mop could've recruited Sam to Utah State.

Re: Stew's recruiting
Yeah obviously he brought in a ton of great players over the years. He was a great coach who also knew when to retire after he saw that things weren't up to usu standards.

Re: Stew's recruiting
This doesn’t diminish your point, but Tony Brown, Dmitri Jorssen, and Spencer Nelson were Eustachy recruits and first played in Morrill’s first season, 1998-1999.dyedblue wrote: ↑March 15th, 2020, 2:28 pmRock, T.

Re: Stew's recruiting
He was great. You don't have 12 straight 23 win seasons that included 12 NIT/NCAA spots if you don't have great talent.dyedblue wrote: ↑March 15th, 2020, 2:28 pmRock, T.

Re: Stew's recruiting
Stew won over Merrill by having winning teams when Merrill was young.

Re: Stew's recruiting
True. Even with usu in his veins Merrill might have looked elsewhere if usu was not a consistent winner for much of his life. In the end he was part of turning around usu and making us a winner again.

Re: Stew's recruiting
After Rahe and Verlin left, what does Stew's recruiting look like that can't be attributed to either of those two?

Re: Stew's recruiting
I don’t think I Rock was a Morrill recruit either. I’d be surprised if he was.dogie wrote:This doesn’t diminish your point, but Tony Brown, Dmitri Jorssen, and Spencer Nelson were Eustachy recruits and first played in Morrill’s first season, 1998-1999.dyedblue wrote: ↑March 15th, 2020, 2:28 pmRock, T.

Re: Stew's recruiting
Not to get too off topic but fun fact is I know first hand two of those players liked Stew way more than Larry.dogie wrote: ↑March 15th, 2020, 4:46 pmThis doesn’t diminish your point, but Tony Brown, Dmitri Jorssen, and Spencer Nelson were Eustachy recruits and first played in Morrill’s first season, 1998-1999.dyedblue wrote: ↑March 15th, 2020, 2:28 pmRock, T.

Rock was a JC transfer that played two years under Stew.

Re: Stew's recruiting
When a guy coaches 20+ years he should have a long list of great/good players. Otherwise, he doesn't last 20+ years.dyedblue wrote: ↑March 15th, 2020, 2:28 pmRock, T.

I believe it was Geno Auriemma who said, "there are two types of coaches; coaches that have great players and ex coaches."aggies22 wrote: ↑March 19th, 2020, 10:24 amWhen a guy coaches 20+ years he should have a long list of great/good players.
