Season Flip
The first thing that should be noted is that after our win
in the national tournament ASU has jumped in prestige from a B- to a B. This is very important because Hoops Dynasty
uses prestige a great deal in recruiting.
It will now be incrementally easier to recruit than it was a B-, and if
we’re able to make our way to a B+ or A- it would be greatly enhanced even
more. That being said, the local Pac10
teams are still A+ so we’ll still not be making too big of a dent in their
recruiting plans. Still just a minor blip on their radar, however another thing
prestige comes into play with is job openings. I know I had listed on a
previous post possible school’s that I COULD have some interest in bolting too.
I figured we could sort of look at the options right now and then really dive
into the options once the job applications open up and I can see what jobs I
actually qualify for.
As it stands right now, IF I decided to leave, this would
probably be my priority list (assuming I would be accepted at all the schools):
- Baylor (1 scholarship to fill)
- Michigan (4 Scholarships to fill)
- Oklahoma St (4 scholarships to fill)
- Iowa (5 scholarships to fill)
- Purdue (1 scholarship to fill)
- Miami (0 scholarships to fill)
The only job on this list that I don’t think I’ll be
qualified for is the Oklahoma St job (I could be mistaken about the others, but
only time will tell). Of course this is
all just conjecture since I may go through all this research and analysis just
to come to the conclusion that I want to stay put at ASU and just ride out
these past few top 35 recruiting classes and see if I can create a wave big
enough to turn those perennial Postseason Invites into National Tournament
invites and get ASU on the same level as Arizona, USC, UCLA, etc.
