AB has been very fortunate to have a lot of talented players throughout the years. Most of these girls were NOT coached by him until they got to HS. He has been able to ride on their backs to these championships. As a coach himself, he is very average.
Except for the queen bee and spalina, they are all over rated. Just because you played in college doesn't make you a good coach
Those 2 are the best at recruiting talent. More salesman than
coaches. It works. They're not going to make your kid better though. They'll use them for as long as they're useful and replace them when they're not. Not saying that is good or bad, it's how it is.
Just so ignorant.If you think Spallina gets the best talent you are utterly clueless. Rarely do any of the top seniors from Long Island stay home and play in the Island and virtually unheard of for the top talent off the island to play on the Usland in college .Spallina dies more with less than any other college coach .Whats the highest ranked player coming out of high school that he has on that team.
Completely correct, he has achieved incredible heights with less profile players. But he has also raised eyebrows of the future with the current number 2 team in the country. He now has the top kids from Long Island visiting and at least looking at the program as an option which he never had before. Not saying he will land any of these top prospects but he has definitely built up some steam and interest. SBU is a tough sell, good academic school, but not really the nice campus, campus/student life experience most are looking for. The atheletic facilities and support are also miles away from what other schools offer. What will get him players is his personality, he is very charismatic and a great confidence builder. Now that his team is right in the mix of the very top teams, his recruiting will get easier and easier. Scary to think what this guy could do if he starts to land some of the top talent.
