Men's Basketball Recruiting Scorecard
For a while, I have tracked our hoops recruiting because I contended that the malaise of our program was for several years the severe shortage of quality players we have brought in and/or kept since Dan's little trip to WVU. Now, my goal is to keep an eye on where our players are coming from, as well as to document how Coach Orr changes the fortunes.
Three things.
One is that there are some people who would tell you that Coach Orr has had player retention problems similar to the ones Coach Dakich had. Negative. In the post-WVU era, Dakich lost 18 of 27 players. Orr has only lost 5 of 19. Admittedly, most of his guys still have time to leave, but it doesn't appear we are on the same track.
Second, just to be clear, as disappointed as we were with the end of this season, it was nowhere near as grim as the last two years of the Dakich regime in which 8 MAC games were won.
Finally, what you see below is nothing less than this....what it would look like if you brought in the kind of teams that had 2 winning seasons in 9 years.
