could have also been titled chronic underachievers.
I made this post w/ 2 programs in mind:
1. Georgia
2. Saint Louis
There is no really good reason that these programs aren't perennial top 25 programs. SLU has a good excuse now, but even before Majerus got there, they were underachieving, IMO.
If I were SLU, I'd take the show-cause hit and hire Bruce Pearl. I'm not sure how SLU's politics would get in the way of hiring a Jewish coach, but fuck all that, I'd go get him.
Georgia really has no excuse and I won't waste keystrokes on them, but Atlanta is <70 miles away, and Tech can't admit 3/4ths of em.
Any others that are glaring?
DePaul should probably be on this list too.

2117470, please... there wasn't *that* much talent Posted by sfMatt, Tue Jan-22-13 03:13 PM
I mean how many of those cats made it to the league in a meaningful way?
And Altman is clearly a huge upgrade over EK. He'll get a conference title this year, and probably start parlaying his results into bigger recruiting wins going forward.

2117475, Yeah, that's a good one. I guess I'm too far removed though, because Posted by placee_22, Tue Jan-22-13 03:16 PM
I didn't even consider Oregon for this list because it doesn't seem like that long ago when they were in the Elite 8 w/ Ridnour, but shit, that was 11 yrs ago.
