Too late now crypt/mojo. And I do have plenty of $$ to spend on the kid. Lol. I have to laugh. I mean losing this kid isn't all that big of a deal although he looks like a pretty good player. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bitchin' and whining and wanting to send in a ticket or anything. I have just never had this happen to me and was wondering if it had happened to anyone else. NOW THE KICKER.......here is an email he just sent to me in response to my many attempts to recruit him.....and I quote...."Missouri State?.. where have I heard that name before? For some reason suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked comes to mind. Hrmn, maybe that is because your team SUCKS!" That's pretty funny. It really is. Never seen that one either. I have only been coaching for 64 seasons, job is very secure, A+ loyalty and rep, 16 CC and 3 NC and my team is the "suckiest bunch of sucks"? Well I can take a hint buddy. Lol. Guess I'll move on. I hope he blows his knee out freshman year. I will PM stormac1969 tho and ask him what type of Mercedes he offered the kid or just exactly what was in that envelope that Lehigh Booster gave the kid.
Not trying to be disrespectful about your past record but your prestige probably would be more dependent on what you have done with your current team. Looking at the current team, beginning season 9, just one CC, and 6 playoff appearances, all those were first round exits except for your one 2nd round appearance. May sound harsh but you took over a team that had won the CC 3 seasons in a row and been to back to back Final 4's. Based on the facts the team is not trending in the direction that it was previously at. Your prestige / performance of your current team has a ways to go before reaching elite level status. Don't know what the other team was but if it was upper echelon, you would have been at a disadvantage based on prestige. The distance would have been favorable but do not know all the other factors such as amount of ships, playoff money and so forth.
Hope that helps explain some of the possible factors.
