Nice recognition of coach Battle and well deserved.
Always been intrigued by big guy Billmeier of Seton Hall - nice to read such positives about his work ethic and other contributions at the Hall.

Good call on Anthony Solomon, he also spent a lot of time on the staff at Notre Dame, so he has "big school" experience. I remember when PC was recruiting Duane Simpkins as a high school player (he ended up at Maryland) - he would be good too. Cooley seems very loyal to his guys, so not counting on an upgrade at that position - though it obviously needs to happen. PC was Thomas's first and only college job, looking back he probably would have been better served starting out at a school in a lesser conference to gain experience, build a broader recruiting network, etc. |

But, like you said, boy is it ever needed. Whether someone on Info's list (Simpkins sounds terrific, MD guy with deep connections there who can help lift the burden from Battle by handling the upper mid-atlantic area) or not, we need a fresh voice on the bench and in recruiting. Thomas, as far as one can tell, may provide good insight on the bench but does not hit the trail and as a recruiting assistant, that's a must. |

.....unfortunately watching the games and sometimes sitting near the bench - Thomas doesn't provide any in-game insights or input at all. I guess I would hope he does at least pre-game scouting, to provide something.
