Let me start by saying that Rohrssen is a very good recruiter. He's gotten the targets while at Pitt that he was assigned to get (for the most part) and he also recruited well at Manhattan for that level. With that said, I don't really understand allnet's thinking here. While under Jamie Dixon and Howland, that staff (which includes Rohrssen) NEVER got a McDonald's All American. The reason why those 2 head coaches really succeeded was because of what they were able to turn some of these underrated kids into. If you want to credit Slice for maybe locating some diamonds in the rough, I suppose you can do that. But the fact is that as well as Slice recruited this area, they never landed a McDonald's (meaning a top 20 or 25) kid, so lets not make the man out to be Calipari.
In addition, I watched Rohrssen's teams quite a bit at Manhattan. They were teams that had talent but not much direction on the court. Steve Masiello came in this past year, gave the program some real direction on the court, completely changed the defensive philosophy and mindset of the team, and won with them.
My personal opinion is that Slice isn't the guy the program needs right now. Now if someone like Tony Chiles left?? I would be all for bringing Slice in here and that would be a home run hire. Allnet, we already HAVE a closer in Steve Lavin who has closed on much more intensely recruited kids than Rohrssen landed under Dixon or Howland.
We need a game planner and practice planner in here and Lav looking at those types of guys that ALSO have an NBA background kills 2 birds with one stone as Dunlap did, because Lav can go on the recruiting trail and tout the guys he has on staff that have coached/scouted in the NBA and claim they know how to get the prospect to the League.
