Battle? Sure, I expect him to.

Win more than his fair share? Probably not, but make them say no.

Stem the in-state hemorrhaging? Absolutely.

Nostra, I'm cautiously optimistic, with my fingers and toes crossed, with coins under my pillow and rubbing a horseshoe, that Crean can compete for higher profile recruits. Will he ever recruit like UK? No. And I wouldn't want to myself. I don't want to be a one and done NBA minor league team. Let's get guys who want to be at UGA, want to compete and will stay for at least 3 years.

Agree Monk. I believe there is a lot of low hanging talent below the one and done level within two hours of campus. No, we may not beat Uk often, but damn sure no excuse or reason to lose them to any other SEC school. Particularly those to the west.
