K and Team USA

[Quavarius]

Do you guys think K's stepping down has allowed recruiting to take off?

K has much more time for face to face stuff now.

I don't think it has made a huge difference, we were doing quite well when he was the coach.

From what I've read, Capel has taken the lead in recruiting, and I'm sure he emphasizes Coach K's knowledge and prestige. I am sure that considering Coach K's age, less wear and tear on him will give him more energy for coaching Duke and recruiting.

Better than at any time before K's appointment to team USA. The only thing that changed is philosophy IMO. K began to embrace more than one OAD at a time and that opened up chances for more of the top talent.
