Coach Henderson

Re: Coach Henderson

if he was so encouraging about players honoring commitment I’m surprised he’s going to have conversations with grill this weekend according to beat writers at unlv.

Since Grill is no longer a SDSU commit, so there isn't anything to honor. I guess that answers the question as to whether Hendo or TJ had a bigger impact on the recruitment process of Grill.

It is too bad that we really have no idea what SDSU's style will be with the new staff. That kind of uncertainty can be scary for a mid-to-high level recruit.

Re: Coach Henderson

Grill decommited. Its TJs job to get the best players for his team. Is he suppose to sit back and do nothing?

It would be dumb for tj to not at least talk to him. If we had brought in a coach from an outside school we probably wouldn't be to upset if he ended up bringing his recruits with him.

How does a coach with no experience sell a program and a school he had no involvement in a week ago? The answer is recruits (mostly) choose a coach not a school.

Re: Coach Henderson

In an earlier post i questioned whether the fact that TJ was looking at other positions might have effected the WIU game performance. Some one responded that there was no effect because the UNLV position wasn't even open yet. My thought was that this was probably not the only opening he was looking at and that there would have been awareness of that at that time. Commits above tend to validate that TJ had made it known to Sells and perhaps others what was going on. So I still think there may have been a connection to the upset. I appreciate his up front approach and also his encouraging the players and recruits to honor their commitments to SDSU. Both in my opinion were class acts aimed at leaving SDSU in the best possible position to move forward.

Re: Coach Henderson

Sell said that some other schools had been sniffing around about Otz. Washington State (I believe it was) was the only school he acknowledged. But I don't think that explains the Western Illinois loss. (And Sell didn't suggest that.) The Leathernecks just had a good night.

Re: Coach Henderson

I took time to listen to the KWSN interviews with Justin Sell, and Eric Henderson. Justin's was of particular interest in mentioning that agents are often involved in coaching moves. No surprises there but TJ had been totally upfront about who was offering and whether he was interested or not. What is interesting about Eric Henderson, there was a choice of moving on with TJ or staying on as HC. And they had to know what his feelings were. He made a good choice as far as I am concerned.

Re: Coach Henderson

I hope Alou and Dentlinger can step up in the post so the team can defend better at the 3 point line. The team last season was incredibly fun to watch, but trusted the other team missing 3s too much

Welcome, Diesel. Reading the perspective of a new poster will be nice.

Re: Coach Henderson

Cap, are you sure it wasn't Justin Sell? I know the AD was on the radio show on Thursday and talked about hiring Henderson.

Re: Coach Henderson

Especially when that player is one of your post players. That means more help defense leaving shooters open, or a zone defense that can take the aggressiveness of a defense away.

My guess is that we would have seen an improvement on the defensive side of the ball had Otz stayed or left. Our best players will be in the backcourt for the next couple years. My guess is our bigs will have a move "conventional" role going forward. Hopefully that means more rim protecting which allows the perimeter defense to play a little tighter

Agreed.
Detlinger and Alou are going to be great in that “conventional” role next year.
