Danny Sprinkle. Is any one surprised?

But the Bobcat Faithful have been so dispirited for so long over basketball, that if they are excited about Sprinkle, that is half the battle.
Yep ... same here.HookedonGriz said:Literally not surprised in the least. As soon as they said he was a part of the interview process I figured it was a done deal. Didn’t really even need a selection committee or waste others’ time as Leon was going to hire Sprinkle from the jump. The guy is going to have an uphill battle unless he lands a ringer or two as Hall and Blevins moving on and now all you have to do is guard Frey. His supporting cast is literally non existent.

When I read the backgrounds (pretty sketchy, in several cases), I thought he had the one crucial qualification that the others didn't. He harks back to when kittie basketball experienced at least some success. The parents of potential recruits now will remember that, and can hope that he can bring back some of that success. And his assistant coaching experience is more than adequate for this level of head coaching position.
Hmmm ...DPGriz said:Parents of potential recruits that followed the Bobcats 20 years ago. That's worth basically nothing for a team in Bozeman Montana.IdaGriz01 said:Yep ... same here.HookedonGriz said:Literally not surprised in the least.

He'll have to sink or swim 99% on his ability as a coach, so hopefully he was the best guy available.

Actually, my whole point was that MSU grads who were just starting families 20-25 years ago might remember that period of success ... and convey it to their kids who are just reaching the right age. Honest question: Why is that worth nothing?

So let me interpret:DPGriz said:... Because Montana doesn't produce many quality Big Sky recruits so nostalgia from families that remember his time their isn't worth much as far as recruiting goes. How many kids is he going to recruit that remember his time at MSU and seriously weigh it in their decision?
