8. I am very excited for for the future!

A 7 so far:

The jury is out. Right now I'm more impressed than I originally was when first hearing his name mentioned. The more I read and the more I see of him talk, the more I like. But, that is easy to do right now considering he has not put his official staff in place or coached a game as of yet.

It appears to be a fairly decent hire, but I need to see more before adjusting that score either up or down.

9. I grew up on Davis basketball, and everyone here loved it at least for a while. It sounds like his style is at least similar. I'm excited!

I'm going to say 6 right now with the possibility to get to 7 with a top notch recruiter on board for an asst.

10. I had the knee jerk disappointment based on articles i read but after digging in more and hearing all of the things I hoped to hear I think this was a fantastic hire.

Yesterday afternoon when I first saw the reports, I would have given it a 2 or 3 just because I hadn't really heard of him and I was pulling for Forbes. Last night after doing some reading up on him it was about a 6-6.5, and after the presser this morning I'm up to a solid 8, with the potential to go even higher based on his staff. I e-mailed Barta a few minutes ago and suggested that Coach at least take a look at Greg Stokes, who is currently an assistant at Kirkwood. Don't know much about his recruiting connections, but I feel like he's at least worth looking at and seeing what he can offer.

8 is my rating. Good coach....solid results...recruiting might be an issue...we will see. Overall considering the situation I think the hawks did a good job here.

 

[DeputyHawk]

8.5, love his excitement! It got me pumped up!

 

[GrandpaHawk]

I would have to say 7-8.Let's give him a chance and hopefully he can get the recruits to come to Iowa.

8! After reading this presser, this man is hungry for success at a different level. Love his confidence. Oh and hey Don Doxie! You are such trash for writing what you did in the QC Times! I hope our new man is rocket fueled by your horrific comparison to Lick. Hope you are ashamed.... I am all in with you Fran McCaffery!!

 

[IowaSS]

Post this in two years and see how everyone did. I give him a 4.5 but only time will tell.

 

[HawkAttack]

8.5

To score any higher Barta would have had to do the impossible: get Pearl or Dixon

I really like this hire

 

[Cowhawk]

Sunday it was a 5.
Today it's a 7.
Hopefully a year from now it will be a 10. My feelings as well!

 

[HawkeyeKevin]

I would say 7. I have the same unsure feeling about this hire as I did when we hired KF and we all know how that turned out.
