No offense to all who post here, but woludn't you go to Pittsburgh over SHU if you had a chance. They have been one of the most (if not most) consistent teams in the Big east for a while now, and a good coach. You do not change history over night. Key to SHU turning it around is diamonds in the rough, make an NCAAS run to the sweet 16 and things fall into place. Expecting to get 5 top recruits each year is crazy, lay off the sauce a little bit (coming from the man who wants one beer at a game).BB
