Considering he has 24 college credits without even being enrolled, pretty safe to say he's not going anywhere.

People can speculate about "this and that" with regards to coaching style and chemistry but if you were to look at transcripts from recent departees, there would be a different story told.

Accordingly, the recruiting strategy has been changed.

What was the recruiting strategy before and what is it now?

My guess is it was previously talent over academics

Idc what grades they get in just want to win. GPA's do t win anything.

You can't play without a certain GPA, so better start including that in your wish list moving forward as well.

We don't keep some kids in school and get grades we won't be eligible for ANY NCAA playoffs no matter how many wins we post!

Here's the deal with regards to the change in recruiting philosophy in black & white about what matters most, courtesy of Dieter's report from today after the NCAA released FAU's scores by sport:

Baseball 982 (+8 from 2010-11)
Football 932 (+2)
Men's Basketball 919 (-22)
Men's Cross Country 951 (No change)
Men's Golf 1000 (No change)
Men's Soccer 975 (+15)
Men's Swimming 991 (+23)
Men's Tennis 933 (-24)
Softball 979 (-8)
Women's Basketball 972 (+32)
Women's Cross Country 1000 (No change)
Women's Golf 1000 (+19)
Women's Soccer 966 (-1)
Women's Swimming 1000 (+8)
Women's Tennis 1000 (No change)
Track 982 (-3)
Volleyball 987 (-7)

Men's Basketball Had 2nd Lowest APR % Change of all FAU Sports

Not sure what is going on with Men's Tennis, that should be a strong point obviously.

Mens tennis is worse than mens basketball  :-\

I don't know this for sure but I would guess because there are so few Men's Tennis Athletes that if 1 or 2 have an issue it can affect the numbers pretty heavily.
