those who follow cuse/cornell lacrosse know exactly the recruit to whom you are referring and it's not a very good comparison. he is a very good player with good lax genes, but he was not highly recruited even after his pg year. if ben wanted him, i'm sure he would have returned the attempts. not a very good anecdotal comparison, esp when you consider ben brought in buczek and donovan and a lot of other very good talent. a good recruiting class is not defined by its total number either.
the definition of a good coach comes from the results on the field and in the classroom. ben did nothing but excel in both metrics. his loyalty to school and players led him to coaching the past several seasons without a contract, but such loyalty was not returned to him. he deserved better and will no doubt continue to excel wherever he ends up.
