Tech is a better program than Nebraska, and Pat had his dad (one of the best coaches ever) come in and make it a reasonably good situation. That is not to say Pat is not doing a fine job this year, but he did not do a fine job last year.
Scott Drew and his staff are great recruiters, but so far that is all I have seen from them.
Frank Martin is a good coach and a great recruiter. He is a top 5 coach in the Big 12, IMO. He landed some blockbusters because of connections and most of his high profile guys are "connections".
As for Doc Sadler at Nebraska, I think he is a very good coach at one of the two worst places for hoops in the Big 12. Colorado and Nebraska are the worst basketball jobs in the conference. The state of Nebraska produces about 0.5 division 1 players every year, and its not like the neighboring states produce a whole lot. Doc has to go and sell Nebraska to kids who have probably never seen Nebraska play a game before.
Doc has 2 guys on roster from "Big 12 country" (Texas and Kansas), and 3 from other countries. The rest are guys from all over the country.
Pat Knight on the other hand has Roberson (Texas), Singletary (Texas), Okorie (Texas), Ray (Texas), Tairu (Texas), Roberts (Texas), Davis (Texas), Crockett (New Mexico), Jenkins (Mississippi), Lewandowski (Texas), Reese (Florida).
Doc is going to have a good team next year... They got unlucky with Niemann (starting center) went down with injury and Standhardinger (starting power forward and best player) was ruled ineligible until January 1st.
Nebraska finished .500 in conference for the first time in a decade under Sadler. He is the first coach at Nebraska to take them to 2 post-season appearances in 3 years. He went 27-8 his last year at UTEP and won the WAC championship. He won 21 games before that and set a C-USA record for defense.
