Not every post expressing skepticism about the long term prospects of SJ basketball generally or Anderson specifically - both of which skepticisms I share - is an endorsement of Mullin, who deserves some credit for what he achieved and some criticism for what he didn't. If his name was added to the list of the words that are forbidden here discourse would improve immeasurably, because in the main the only people who mention him are the people who have animus toward him.
I think there are serious questions about Anderson's prospects moving forward, specifically the shortcomings inherent in his fugazi system and his approach to recruiting. Those doubts have nothing to do with Mullin, about whom I think only about when his name is mentioned here by those who can't go 20 minutes without shrieking out his name like demented Tourette's patients.
Anderson’s recruits- Rutherford C grade. The kid has been fine. Solid player. Wish he were more talented. But he holds his own.
Champagnie- 3 star guy- B so far. Better then expected getting abused so far in big east. Had a much better game Saturday.
Sears- C - he is ok. Plays hard
Dunn- B- has been up and down. Looked great Saturday. At times he has been very good. Was dominant at times Saturday.
Under the circumstances those players seem fine. Next years class is better. That’s reality. As far as his approach to recruiting, not sure you can find fault in it. He is actually out there trying. Yesterday he was out on Long Island recruiting a 4 star kid from Brentwood
Fugazi system- absolutely makes no sense. Coach has never had a losing season. And he won’t this year. His half court offense is weak. So was mullins. Better players will score more easily. Half court offense looked fine Saturday. Dunn was great. LJ was good. And heron was much better.
