losing a little bit of Diehl's numbers there...7 in stamina, 5 in durability; overall he went up 40 points and on the whole, the team went up 46 points.

Both of us ran packed-in slowdown fullcourt presses. We got ahead and stayed ahead.

Next up, Air Force, who already beat me this season.

Coach, unbelievable! I don't think anyone gave us a chance and you proved everyone wrong! 1 game at a time! Pete Bailey Athletic Director University of Maryland

Maryland 18-13, 10-6
We got it within about 5 at one point in the second half but weren't able to get it any closer.

I'm very happy with how we did this year.

Coach, that was a tough 2nd round matchup. The guys did the best they could. We still had a great season - maybe next season we can reach the Sweet 16! Pete Bailey Athletic Director University of Maryland

Every program needs to rebuild sooner or later. Hopefully that's all we're going through and you'll have the ship righted next season. I'm still behind you! Pete Bailey Athletics Director

went from exceeding expectations to meeting expectations, but still an A+ prestige, and no early entries.

While I targeted Blakey from the beginning, I looked around for other SFs I liked better. He'll be perfectly serviceable, and potentially even another nice role-player in the 3-slot, depending on the cap on his potential. His ball-handling and passing leave a bit to be desired, as does his low-post skill/potential (I would switch the potential for low post and perimeter, if I had my druthers). With that said, I expect him to be a defensive presence and garbage man, as many of my SFs have been. Definitely not a pro.

Blakey turned into what I thought he would. He was a valuable reserve SF who produced a fair number of rebounds and only rarely produced a game that was beyond solid. While he was a worthwhile member of the team, we won't be hurting too much from his departure

offseason improvement/change:

Hill - +10 points
Jaco - +7 points, + 1/3 FT
Hargraves - +7 points
Parsons - +15 points, + 1/3 FT
Lyons - +6 points
Grady - +21 points
Knipp - +3 points
Teed - -6 points
Gill - +7 points, + 1/3 FT
Diehl - +2 points, + 1/3 FT

#3 C, #12 Overall, *****; no promises. Jason Basinger will be my fourth big man this year, playing ahead of Diehl, and waaaay ahead of Teed. That should help his WE rise a bit and help him grow into himself. If I have an early entry from one of my two starters, he'll be starting next year. If not, he'll be the primary backup before starting as a junior. He's good already but can get better.

Grats on Basinger, I saw you should win that battle, and went across the country for Bean. Wasn't trying to poach you or anything, (I spent my last 5k), just saw what was developing and tried to pick up a decent guy for cheap. The gamble paid off, although I was worried when you drew attention to it prematurely! ;)

GL this season.

Yeah I wasn't offended at all. That was a very good bet to make. I'll check up on Bean in a few years - with his 62 rebounding but a high potential, his ultimate worth will depend on that ceiling, but he should be a fine player for Gonzaga and the WCC, regardless.

From:Pete Bailey To:Coach colorblind79 Subject:CI Top 32 Recruiting Classes Sent:02/19/2010 2:22AM

Well, well, well - guess who's recruiting class was just ranked #20 by CollegiateInsider.com? Nice job! Everybody in the Athletic Department is really excited - I think I'm even getting the administration behind what you're doing. Keep up the good work! Here's the article: Pete Bailey Athletic Director

---------

USC, which had the number 1 class, got a truly ridiculous group. If they don't win another National Championship with what they just brought in, I'll be amazed.

Boston College was number 2, and deserved it.

----------

I got the guys I wanted. I don't think I could've done better unless a better SG/SF with four years of eligibilty had shown up - and I'm talking about a guy I could've gotten, not one I had to fight for, so he'd be a high potential guy with a moderate base.

I look for both speed and athleticism, though speed is less important than it is with a regular shooting guard. As long as they're going to be above 70 or so, they're acceptable. Higher is always better. Athleticism must be at least 70, preferably topping off on the 90s. Rebounding has to be at least 30 to start, but higher is always better, and a big plus. I don't pay much attention to low post in the position, and maybe should, but sacrifices have to be made somewhere. Perimeter can range...I'm okay with SFs being garbage men, provided they're good athletes and defenders, they don't have to be big scorers in half-court plays. Ballhandling and passing I like to have above 70. FT shooting doesn't matter too much and it's another area that I will regularly compromise on for this position.

-----------

Anyways, a nice solid A of a class.

[edit, later in the day:]

Just did the scouting for next year's recruiting. There's a local developmental PG who I really like (and hopefully he'll agree to be redshirted without me telling him during recruiting). If I don't have anyone go pro early on me, I'll probably look for a big man to fill out the other spot. If Gill and/or Grady goes pro early, I have a few big men picked out as possible replacements. If Parsons goes pro early, I'll be shocked, but maybe I won't redshirt that PG and I'll target a local five star SF that I like and who matches the description from above almost to a T. I'll probably go after him if I have one or more guy go pro, but he's going to be a magnet for battles.

[edit again, a few minutes later:]

I've got another super-local big man who I like for productive bench minutes, that I am now targeting. My two targets are so local that one of them actually went to my high school (Rockville High) and another went to the high school of two of my ex-girlfriends (Walter Johnson High School). I'm already really liking these guys and I am certain that I will sign them.

for the record:

If I remember correctly, he was a three star player with low potential in speed, high in athleticism, high in rebounding and stamina. Low post was probably high too, but might have been average. Pretty sure he was low in ballhandling and perimeter, and might've been either low or average on passing and FT shooting.

A good mid-major player with the chance to become a star.
