It's really crazy, his teams at Cincinnati were good. It's not like he forgot how to coach, I think he just hasn't been able to team build.

Coaching at UC, me being here in Ohio and following that program for years, he was able to recruit the local high schools with lots of that 3 star maybe a 4 star talent but they all lived and died to play for the hometown college.

These were kids who were thrilled to be playing at a D1 school and they balled out for their coach. It was a different animal if that makes sense?

Makes perfect sense. Do you think then that the state of WI just isn't producing kids with that talent?
 
Jumping in. I think today's kids are different. I don't think the NIL kids are inspired by what inspired the pre-NIL kids.

Pre-NIL, we used to have a lot of over achieving, hungry, hustling bastards. We thrived on that. We beat people we shouldn't have been on the field with.

Now, nobody's got that, and we're not close to getting good NIL players. It might not even be money. We're just getting the wrong kids for us, and we're not inspiring them to over achieve.
