Buy / Sell: Drew is an upgrade from Stansbury
- Thread starter DerHntr
- Start date
On the plus side his father and brother are both very good coaches.
On the negative side, I do not know if he can recruit and I have not watched any Valpo games when he was the head coach.
If we can get Pollard and keep Gray I think we may actually have a pretty fun team to watch next year.

I am playing Devil's Advocate with that statement.
I seriously don't know much about him and figured some of you would. Does anyone know anything about the way he deals with players, X's and O's ability, use of time outs (kidding), etc.
Or is this guy better because he isn't Rick?
Shirley someone thinks the guy is an upgrade for something other than the fact that his last name isn't Stansbury.

...Stansbury had been mailing it in for at least the last 2 seasons.
At this point in time, anybody with a pulse will be an upgrade over Stansbury.

he isn't an upgrade. His resume doesn't even remotely match up to Stansbury. He has had 1 year head coaching experience.
Like someone told me, maybe we caught the next big thing before he becomes the next big thing or he could absolutely suck.
But as I said, a change was needed and if he is our coach, he's got my support until I don't support him anymore (obvious answer, I know).

Drew's wikipedia page still says he's the head coach at Valpo. Until that changes, I'm not going to believe the wild rumors flying around.
Rick will be hanging around the hallways. I think it's too bad that Rick will still be around and feel that Stricklin was more or less forced to keep him around and find or create some type of job for him....another Felker deal. Nothing against Rick but I wish he had other options.
Year 1 he gets a free pass.
Year 2, we should be a bubble team
Year 3, we need to be a 6 seed (or better).

and since he's played in The Dance and also professionally, I'll buy for now. His family and professionalpettigree say he knows basketball. We'll see if he can recruit in the south.
It puts new energy into the program and Bryce's upside is worth the risk. He's young, smart and his brother and dad are both pretty damn good. I know the guy can shoot so look for MSU to improve in atleast that area for sure. I would suspect his family will help him a lot. With all the ties the Drew's know he should get some decent assistants too. Now can he recruit? His brother certainly can. Baylor has had top signing classes lately.
So let's say he gets a 7 seed in year 3. Should we fire him? We haven't been a 6 seed or higher since 2004, but you expect a 3rd year HC to come in to our current situation and be a 6 seed or higher in the NCAA Tournament? Those are totally unrealistic expectations, and no matter who we hired you were going to be very disappointed because I don't see anyone out there we could have hired within reason that would take our current team to a 6 seed or bettter in 3 years. </p>
