the task for eaves is to be able to recruit the type of kids who can push hard for quality minutes... the quality bluechippers... hard to do on $20,000... & the upperclassmen know that......
if any of you watched the xavier- tennessee game... as good as xavier's kids were... they were not good enough to close out the vols.... the difference in talent was evident....

What should be the size of the recruiting budget for Eaves to recruit the type of player you want? I mean Pt G Siddell ( starter at GW..BEAT Ky) is from Eden: Clayton 6-8 GSO SMITH IS AT APP ST( THEY BEAT gaTech)..Exactly how much do you think it should be? Given , $20,000 is not enough..West at HU is from Raleigh, 6-9 kid at Del State was from Raleigh:

Do basketball recruiting budgets equal football budgets anywhere? Tenn State has a NC freshman that starts, Sellers. Is is always all about $$$? He is from Monroe (6-7). I am not clear on this recruits that push the upper classmen. Porter starts but Coleman gets the minutes..Juco Jones starts, so he displaced somebody that was returning..NFS had 2-3 NC players on their team. West is bigger and can do more w/ a basketball than Rush...in any case who in the athletic office is going to raise the $$$ the program needs?

I totally agree with everything you said. I've actually said a lot of this before. Rush can't hold a candle to West. I saw them almost beat Md earlier this year.

Basketball recrutiing is not like football fellas. A whole lot of money isn't needed. We have pointed out several players that are starting in other places that are from North Carolina. Money does help, but I'm not buying the "we broke" excuse. Especially after we cryed broke all football season, but now we are increasing Fobbs budget. I'm not downing Eaves recruiting because the team has improved, but NC has a lot of basketball talent. Word Of God(Raleigh) point guard proved that when he roasted UNC's recruit coming in next season at the GSK Christmas tournament.

I saw Mr. Marc Hill (5’8”, 160 lb point guard from Bishop McNamara) play in a losing effort against Bishop O’Connor the other night. Mr. Hill, is super quick, can shoot, handle the ball, plays hard and has decent hops. But he’s more of the same of what we currently have at the guard position, another 5’8” (maybe), 160 guard. The question is will he be able to create the spacing needed to get off his shot at the next level. He really didn't do it the other night. O’Conner defended him off the ball more than any other player on the court, which makes me think they thought he was the player to stop.
But the best player on the court was a dude by the name of Jason Clark. This boy is smooth. He kinda puts me in mind of the “The Bird” with his mechanics. I don’t know where this kid is going but he will probably start as a freshman next year at most major colleges.

A&T does need a ballhandler and if you are short you have to be super quick.

i said it once and i will say it again...you dont have to use an out of state scholarship on a 5 ft 8 point gaurd.....dont tell me he's a good student...can he help us win games, that's the question...if you have a small point gaurd, you need a big two guard, at least 6-3, 6-4, and some people that can fill the lanes...not knocking the kid...just dont think he's what we need...we brought in a 6-2 shooting guard from kentucky...that's the backcourt of the future, 5-8 and 6-2? we better be legit at 3-5....

I think you are absolutely right! Small guards have to take bad shots in our offense and are virtually non-existent in Eaves' defense. May be a solid player, but he CAN'T be a player we need.
