Archie+Book+ARIZONA could very well come to = Dynasty in the next several years.

OSU went to the Tourney this year but the fact remains.

good joke.

Archie was the lead asst at OSU.

Arizona has now assembled one of the best staffs in the country.

Lemonade from lemons ... an instant upgrade. Well, maybe commentator.

A dynasty?

Just learned a new bit of information, Archie was the lead recruiter for Harden. Wow. This is quite the hire.

Not to belittle Archie too much, but the recruiting grounds in Ohio and Indiana were probably the hottest in the country for the past 10 years (at Xavier we received rejects from Indiana and OSU and still went to a couple elite eights).

Zona, this is also in his bio:

At WKU, his duties included assisting in recruiting and scouting, as well as serving as the coordinator of the school’s summer camps. Miller was instrumental in the recruiting of 2004-05 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Courtney Lee, who in his second season led the Hilltoppers to a 23-7 record and was a first-team All-Sun Belt selection. The Orlando Magic drafted Lee in the first round of the 2008 NBA Draft.

OSU wasn't exactly working miracles to get that talent. They were nearly all from Indianapolis or Ohio.

That was Scott Pera, the Artesia HS coach who Harden was going to follow wherever he went.

But I did hear that Archie had a role in setting up Sendek to hire Pera.

Courtney Lee as a rookie with the Orlando Magic has started in 41 games. He plays 25 minutes per game scoring 8.5 PPG. Note: JJ Redick, a collegiate star at Duke, i believe his third year in the NBA, only gets 17 MPG.

He's been an assistant coach for 4 seasons and will have recruited 2 NBA 1st Round picks and that monster OSU class.

Those Indianapolis and Ohio guys have plenty of places they can go, I wouldn't cheapen his monster class.

Yes, a dynasty. The staff we have now is capable of creating a west coast basketball dynasty over the next decade.
