In reading about the Bzdelik saga now being played out in CU and Wake Forest ran across some, what I thought, were interesting comments from Bzdelik's meeting with his players.
"But as the CU men`s basketball head coach drove away from a meeting with the Buffs Sunday afternoon the moment felt like an awkward farewell."
"The group that filed out of McClain`s front door included two-time All-Big 12 guard Cory Higgins, Bzdelik`s first CU recruit, and reigning Big 12 freshman of the year Alec Burks."
" 'I`m going to stay with McClain," Burks said. "If McClain isn`t here, I don`t know. It`s still all up in the air right now. I`m just going to go about my business until all this is final.' "
" 'We`re a strong team and the coaching staff that is here ... I want to stick with them," Tomlinson said. "They`ve been through it with all of us and they`re a really strong group. McClain is a great coach, and we all want him. As long as we all stay together, that`s the best thing.' "
And a couple of comments from fans' comments on the article:
"Mike Bohn, whoever COULD replace Bzdelik, you should have heard loud and clear from one of the strongest young teams in the country who they would like. Don't screw another hire up again."
and
"Will not be unhappy with McLain as well. Buffs played hard for him in Hawaii and he has a NCAA tournament win. One more than B has and he did recruit well to Wyoming. No small feat."
