Of course he does, but the future offers are a sign that he knows it.
The last 2 signees should tell you that he's feeling the pressure to start winning.
If he gets to the dance this season, i'd look for the roster to start upgrading in the following seasons.
Well if that isn't a staged poll :crazy:
I think if you added a 3rd option..."too early to tell, need to see Year 3 results" you'd get a much more accurate representation. Again telling half the story.
Simple question...
Does Rick Barnes need to do better on the recruiting trail?
You're obsessed with trying to be right about a certain subject... It's too early to tell so I'll keep my opinion to myself until I see the results on the basketball court this upcoming season. Until then, quit your whining & bickering about Barnes until we actually have a reason to not have faith in him.
Too early to tell for you. Not for me or 94% of this board so far and that includes the guy arguing against me the hardest. BTO himself.
It's kinda like he did with Cuonzo. Worshipped him for 3 years then signed the petition that ran him out of town.
Barnes needs to recruit better. Even BTO agrees.
I think everyone would agree and winning is a cure all for recruiting. So it should happen.Good post Cal.
So you're saying even if he wins he should recruit better, right?

The last 2 signees were very encouraging to me. Top Juco and grad shows he's willing to adapt if need be.
I really think they improve a lot this season.
PS
I don't really think just getting to the dance is Barnes' goal. I think he wants to take it to the next level before he retires and to do that he'll need to add a couple of game changers now and then to the roster.
i think he's got a good base.
He needs to recruit better period. The rest of the coaches, Avery Johnson, Ben Howland,and now Counzo are all recruiting at a high clip they don't have to wait. Rick has earned the right to stay in Knoxville and not go out recruiting. That is a terrible comment. We have earned the right for our Hall of Fame coach to recruit better.
