How we evaluate head coaches as recruiters, and a look at recruiting in the West Coast Conference

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs may still dominate the West Coast Conference, but coaches like Randy Bennett at Saint Mary's and Lorenzo Romar at Pepperdine are bringing in high level recruits, keeping this conference relevant in the west coast college basketball landscape.
Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated joins the show to discuss the incoming freshmen on both Saint Mary's and Pepperdine's teams, which includes an excellent addition in Aidan Mahaney for the Gaels and USC transfer Boubacar Coulibaly for the Waves. Jason looks at each of these programs and what kind of impact they will have in year one.
Segment two is a longer look at what makes a head coach a good recruiter, with Jason offering his opinion on the matter as well as multiple stories involving Coach K, Levelle Morton, GG Jackson, Corey Kispert, and more! The guys discuss Dana Altman's success as a recruiter but struggles on the court, and how a coach like Bennett can sell his program compared to a juggernaut like Duke, Gonzaga, or North Carolina.
Finally, we end the show with discussion about the NCAA's new transfer portal and what things still need to be done in order to prevent some serious windfall in the college hoops landscape in the coming years.
