I heard the same thing about Princes’ recruiting prowess. He was the HC at K-State and did recruit many Juco’s. He did not have the same success that current K-State HC is having and he too recruits the Juco’s heavily.

Honestly, I hope he changes his dogmatic ways because it absolutely affects team chemistry. RU has plenty of talent on the roster….all that I ask is that HE USE IT. About an hour ago, My brother-in-law who follows the RU message boards and is a die-hard RU fan told me that Pernetti had a discussion with Flood about this and that Flood will open up competition for all positions. That Flood did not want to throw Nova “under the bus” so to speak and was protecting him. He further wanted to establish that “he was the boss, the decision-maker” and it all is on him. I hope my brother-in-law is correct. I hope RU has a successful recruiting swing next season ant that transition to Big 10 play goes very well. I too will reserve judgment until after next season.
