Wake, Pitt and WV are all fine choices. Wake may be rebuilding, but he can beca part of that. Pitt is already a good program, and I expect WV to bounce back. Kid has high major options.
To even consider Fordham is insanity.
Agree. Not to mention that CYO gym.
Their gym has a better atmosphere than ours.
I grew up in that gym in a sense and do enjoy watching a game there, but it is time to develop an alternative. Regarding CA, it's clear we missed the boat with that chintzy upgrade. At least MSG is attractive to recruits. Rose Hill is not and limited capacity can't help monetarily.
Correct Rose Hill isn't the reason a kid picks Fordham. But if they want to play a notch below the big conferences kids should go there. Me thinks maybe academics comes into play there sometimes unfortunately.
Mediocre leadership at AD level especially hindered program. Joining Patriot League years ago hurt program and destroyed local rivalries. Adding football made no sense as well. All these arid years have minimized attraction of Fordham Basketball IMO. The A10 is too tough for them and frankly they are better suited for MAAC level play. As a grad school alum, it pains me to say that. That said, it is only fair to see what TP can accomplish over next few years before making final conclusion. Your point about academics is fair, but one factor IMO.
I don't think Pecora lasts past this year unless something drastically changes.
The key word is improvement, that is subjective. This year he needs to turn the corner a bit.
But trust me barring a complete disaster 5-25 type he won't be fired.
But he needs to start making strides say 7-11 in A-10 with some key recruits.
Forde just made my case nobody would have Fordham much better off now.
Remember SJU gave Norm 6 years at more money and with a more impatient fan base.
