College Basketball is weird in a way that these kids can hurt us but it may be only for a season. If they are as good as they say and they think they can play in the NBA they may only be at FIU for a season and then enter the NBA. We may not be recruiting on as high of level as they are but the kids we recruit are going to stick around for 4 years, graduate and hopefully if any of them are good enough get drafted. Remember the draft is only 2 rounds so you have to really be something special to get drafted.
Thomas has A LOT to prove. He's proven he can bring in big recruits just on name recognition, but it's 1 thing to bring in big recruits, it's another to actually coach them. Some people are great basketball players but they just don't make good coaches. Look at Magic Johnson, one of the greatest NBA players of all time and one of the worst head coaches. In fact the only thing worse than his coaching career with the Lakers was his talk show lol
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Yep. He's drawing in talent but I bet you anything he landed them by promising he'd use his contacts to pave a road into the NBA… because really, what else does he have to offer? All well and good… I just hope he follows through on that promise for their sake.

When Doherty came on board and changed the style of play, I remember reading comments from the opponents saying the Owls are playing more like a coached team now rather then school yard ball. This was the last year in the A-Sun. Green could talk the talk but not coach. He didn't get anyone drafted either. So we shall see how Thomas works out.
FAU - THE REAL SLEEPING GIANT

He is getting some exposure on Sportscenter but that'll die down after the first few games I think, he's just so much controversy surrounding him that they can't NOT talk about what he's doing now.

the only reason why i said it could help us is as by a conference in general. having 5+ teams in the top 100 RPI would be nice.
