After two years at Chicago State, James Stringer took the Prairie View A&M job. He was replaced by former Chicago State star Fernando Fischer who I made a coach because he did not make it into the draft pool for the pro league at all, effectively ending his pro basketball ambitions. The hope is he can provide some stability to the program moving forward.
I'll make sure he hangs out for some time and that they don't replace him, etc.
DePaul NCAA appearance makes me feel like both of these programs are in much better shape than when we took them over and I did not expect it to go this fast. I imagined it was going to be much longer slog for both programs which -- beyond their city -- is why I chose them.
What I want to do now is pick a program where I can flood its immediate city (or state) with surplus talent, see if we're able to recruit said players and then see what the ceiling is for the program. AI recruiting is weird, so I'd be curious if you had more advantages whether you could convert minor programs into major ones.
