If he is hired, I hope he keeps the architect of this past season's defense. It was the best I had seen in years. No reason not to have high scoring offense with lock down defense too.

Terry played for the Miami Heat and Suns. Pretty sure he's one of the only (if not only) DII player to be on an NBA roster in last few years. LMU has produced something like 17+ pro players... pretty evident their teams would be competitive at the mid-major level in DI.

Sure, but one is recruiting to a mid-major, and the other is recruiting to a D2 school no one (nationally) has heard of.
I'm not anti-Lansing, don't get it skewed. Just excited about the Schertz hire.
What Schertz hire?
Has there been an announcement? And let's wait until the next coach wins at ISU
Yeah, I think people are underestimating the difficulty in recruiting. Lansing is gone by in large because he didn't recruit well enough during the middle potion of his tenure.
Thinking back to the 2016-2017 bottom where we started Clemons, Scott, Paige, Van Scyoc and Murphy. Your top two reserves were Niels (who was often lost defensively) and a true freshman Barnes. After them you had an inconsistent TJ Bell and transfer Donovan Franklin that was a TO machine. On that roster alone we missed on Niels, Demonte, Franklin, Paige and Knight. That is without even getting into BK's injury cutting his potential, etc.
The recruiting ability of Schertz's staff will be absolutely critical to his success of transitioning his philosophies to this league, especially since it is a styles clash vs the down tempo, grind it out offenses most use.

You are the king of semantical arguments. Goodman and Doyel both say this will be the hire, so I am operating as such.
And, no, I don't see any reason to temper my excitement. I think this is a good hire. I think it's inspired. I don't think it's the easy way out. It doesn't mean I think he'll win the conference in Year 1.
Last time I checked J. Goodman and Hack Doyel are not part of the search / hire committee for the ISU MBB HC job. but fine, whatever; you do what you want to do
I'll wait see if/when he's hired and then after he wins at ISU; not slamming on Schertz, it's that I've followed ISU since the Schellhase, Greene eras... so I'm not buying into the hype. Clinkscales doesn't have a ton of success in his hiring choices

Jason,
An absolute game changer for ISU previous to Greg's 5 year losing streak was the loss of
Bryant McIntosh of Greenwood, In. Pegged as Jake Odum's replacement he de-committed
and went to Northwestern. There he started for 4 years as a point guard and helped lead Northwestern
to their first NCAA tournament.
He would have been worth 3-5 wins a year for ISU.
This is not meant as an excuse.....but it was a serious setback. We eventually signed
Jordan Barnes....after struggling at the point.

McIntosh was one, DJ Balentine was another. We actually missed on quite a few guards which is where you need to hit in a guard driven league like the MVC.
Outside of Scott, Barnes and Key, we've had some real stinkers mixed in.
The guy has been a winner at the D2 level, but as we all know u can be great with the x's and o's, but u live and die with recruiting.
If we play more of an up tempo might create some excitement, but as we all know the MVC is a grind out, defensive league
Also, one other major point, what kind of connections does he have in the Hoosier state, it would only help and generate even more excitement

Likely it's between slim and not a damn bit
he's a New York native, a grad of FLA Atlantic; coached in North Carolina (the Piedmont, the Triad), in FLA and now Tenn...
His last D2 All American was Courvoisier McCauley from Manual High School in Indy. Not sure that means Schertz is completely tapped-in to Indiana recruiting, but he’s obviously not completely unfamiliar.

From what I was able to find he's had 4 players from Indiana while at LMU. Last two being from Indy & West Lafayette
He has a player from Lafayette now.
Who we kicked the tires on. He was AAU teammates with Jamal Harris and Nike Sibande.

Interesting potential next coach...I get that he needs to build relationships in Indiana but TN isn't that far away. He seems to have relationships in Ohio too. The videos of him make him look pretty personable. I think he could build some trust in Indiana pretty quickly if his teams/style of play look good.
Coach Lansing seems like a good guy and I am sure he is full of relationships in the state but the fan base was begging for a change just a couple years ago. His teams were good with Jake Odum and with Jake Laravia.
