[NU Sports] Princeton is not the problem

[cherron604 at aol.com]

I will say that Evan Esch was a force inside, and Jitim could do a ton of stuff inside.  But young menof that caliber have been few and far between (too few and too far).  We have alums swimming in cash (Pat Ryan ?)  Could we perhaps hire a recruiting genius, and have our own 'College of Coaches' ?  Pay them both the same; sit both he and Carmody on the bench - I don't think there's any rule that precludes it.

If you have talent, what difference does the style of offense make? It's like saying that a man trained in Isshinryu karate is superior to one trained in Taekwondo (or vice-versa). Style is not the issue. Execution is. We can't execute well enough in the Big 10 and rarely have. It's the absence of talent that is the issue. There is nothing now and never has been anything intimidating about the Northwestern basketball team: no enforcer inside, no slasher outside, no deadeye three-point shooter, no bench to wear you down. We always have to play a slowdown type offense because we're not good enough to run anything else. Talent: Get some!
