Brad Stevens

“Consistent visits”??? They made what, 2 in a row?

Ever heard of any of these “local” kids?

Spencer Hawes
Kyle Singler
Kevin Love
Abdul Gaddy
Avery Bradley
Joshua Smith

Compared to most regions in the US, the region’s talent is lesser / not as deep for a program some people want to put up there as elite.

Like I said, Oregon is a good program, not a great program. Stevens can hold out for a great program if he chooses to do so, or continue to take Butler to the next level.

He’s ensuring that Butler is taken care of financially if he leaves.

During that same period for the Niners - none. We can talk all we want about how much better we are, but there’s a reason why we’re going through a search for a new coach.

He’s not going to be looking for rent money anytime soon, either.
