I am buying into this guy. I believe until proven otherwise that he is the real deal. One of the true challenges we will have this fall will be trying to figure out who deserves the credit for our new found success on offense, Scotty or Buster. Every once in a blue moon someone with actual talent accidentally lands in Hattiesburg. Historically we find a way to not make the most of that individual because we want to follow an antiquated, old-fangled mindset of, "wait your turn" instead of learn as you go.......pissing away real time experience and valuable time.
If McClain wants to be successful, he needs to write down his vision for each program and what they will look like in three years. If this man isn't holding the keys to the head ball coaches office by Fall of 2021 we officially pissed away yet another great opportunity. McClain needs to take him to lunch twice a month and talk about everything they can accomplish together over the next 5 years. McClain needs to create a separate savings account and start putting some money aside for what we anticipate a P6 school is going to offer Scotty in two to three years.
Full disclosure, I would have said the same for Christian Ostrander last year and it very well might still be the case today.....but its also possible that we have TTTainted his ceiling/skill set under Berry by now....
