Question. Does transitioning from a D11 to D1, is there an adjustment to recruiting higher level players?

---

Just look at what Drake did (Ben McCollum). Coach was D2 for Northwest Missouri State and won 4 National Champs with them. This is his resume:

Four of his current roster out of 15 are former NW Missouri St.

He makes 275k at Drake?

Hope we can get that kind of deal. That's a great salary for this level.

I think Carthel has made good adjustments. The only game (2024) that I REALLY question is McNeese. Watched it first hand.

After the McNeese game I felt like we looked like a competent outfit. If Carthel stumbles this year and slide to 6-6 or land about where we did in2024 , he's in trouble. That being said, I feel like his coaching style has shown that he's adaptable and will win. I want to see him string 2-3 highly competitive seasons together.

I created a new forum for everything related to the search in case it gets lost here. Lots of good stats thrown around.

It was time to move on. That being said some of the remarks on Facebook, regarding Keller are just uncalled for and classless. The man will leave SFA with over a 65% winning percentage. His style of defense was a key in our initial competitiveness in the WAC. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find the right players with shooting skills to compliment the defensive system. Best of luck to Coach K in his future endeavors.

While i agree the defense was the key to Keller's success after the same kind of style of player that Underwood brought. Eventually it had to change espically with the college basketball more focusing on shooting over defense. (See the NBA). Keller should have adapted and changed the idea of SFA mens basketball. He brought alot of success but he was to hard headed to change.
