I like your list, with exception of anyone from Montana from that era....
I like the idea of Blue reaching out to Peterson, Patterson, Hawkins, his Stanford connection- Shaw, etc, for leads on assistants. I would bet HC's wouldnt want to volunteer their guys, but you never know what could come up.

I really would like to see more size and an inside presence. UC Irvine, UCSB and UCR don't seem to have problems signing guys over 6'9" We are talking about a style of play here with Les.

If we are holding ourselves to a higher academic standard when recruiting compared to Cal, UCLA, UCI, UCSB, and UCR AND are expecting to be competitive in the Big West more than once every 5 seasons, we are fooling ourselves. But this is a completely different topic, I know.

Hawkins.

Dr. Blue, just make it happen this time. The last guy fumbled.

Les seems to recruit guards well. I don't like that we don't have a center, or anyone over 6'9" (yearly it seems). I would like to see better records (who doesn't), especially when we DON'T have the best player in UCD history. All-in-all, he has been better than the last guy.

Les is 68-92 overall.

Les overall winning %: .703
Stewart D1 winning %: .582

I was going to go into subtracting the Hawkins "anomaly," but Les got him to come to Davis...which was a feat in itself.

We lose 20 Seniors. This is going to be interesting.

To put things in perspective, Sac St. is losing 6. I'd say 20 is a lot of guys to lose.

I hope we can put something together coaching-wise to save some of these recruiting commits.

Honestly don't enjoy seeing anyone lose their job. I hope we find the right fit this time.
