That's because Dan actually knows how to build a roster with players that fit his system that are not only team first players but like each other on and off the court.
Has Jeff Jones ever recruited someone that was a star for him that started at ODU and finished at ODU.
Trey Freeman came from Campbell and the Big South, BJ Stith came from Virginia and the ACC, Brandon Stith came from ECU and CUSA, Trey Porter came from George Mason and the A10.
Then he runs off player after player because as some of you claim, they don't play his style, can't play his style. Then that's on Jones and not the player. He is the coach and more importantly suppose to be the teacher to teach his system and mold the young guys into men.
Quote:We are envious of your returning roster. We are envious of your incoming talent. We are envious of your head coach, who has an actual personality and knows how to inspire his players when it matters.
That's because we have people in the right place to be successful. People most likely you included laughed at the Dan D'Antoni hiring but no one is laughing now.
Quote:The one thing we are not envious of: the pathetic level of insecurity that comes with being a Marshall fan. One that necessitates the starting of threads about player departures from rival schools, just for the juvenile joy of snickering about it.
I'm not insecure or juvenile. I waited a day and a half for someone at ODU to post his departure and no one did, so I started it.
ODU fans are one the most delusional fan bases out side of Morgantown. I won't even say most of you, its all of you think you belong in the AAC or if not that the A10 with indy football. When you can't even win in CUSA.
Jones hasn't had the players to win CUSA, my guess he doesn't teach he just shows the plays and expects his players to pick it up and when they don't it becomes a screaming match in practice. Wilder and ODU the last 3 years have had the 10th ranked, 13th ranked and 13th ranked recruiting class and yet ODUers think they are above this conference.
Don't ever try and talk to me sarcastically again like you did, I will tear you down faster than ever with the facts that ODU isn't half as good as their fans think.
