Recruit Chooses Dayton


Recommended Posts

Don't forget they also got Marcus Johnson and we lost out. I'm guessing our team can be fantastic, but as long as they are playing in the overgrown HS gym it just doesn't have the same draw of a Dayton. At Dayton you're the only game in town, the arena is nicer and the conference doesn't get screwed year in and year out. I'm guessing the arena and the fans put Dayton over the edge for both players. Since it's not technically my money -- now they we have the football stadium announcement -- when is the basketball stadium announcement. Will it be soon enough to keep KD. I know it's different, but the announcement of the new stadium and the field house -- feels a lot like when the University committed to football before and it cost them Huggins. I hope they don't forget the teams that actually win at this school.Finally, a new conference has to be the ultimate goal -- the MAC is worthless at this point. I know we haven't won anything, but I don't think Central Florida won anything before or after they got into C-USA. Which like it or not gets much more respect than the MAC in all things not just basketball

I agree wholeheartedly. You know Central Florida won nothing in the MAC and moved "up" to CUSA. They averaged 2700 last year in basketball. What they did was committ a lot of money to athletics and built some facilities. South Florida averaged a whopping 3800 fans in basketball, about the same as Akron this past year. Didn't they move up to the Big East? I know this isn't immminent but we can be a lot closer to moving up than people realize.
