Let's set some things straight in here...
1) TQ was committed before McCray.
2) Atlanta Celtics may be the biggest AAU power but that doesn't put them anywhere near the top of the landscape in summer teams. AAU is 3rd or 4th tier these days behind camps, EYBL, UA, Adidas, Reebok type circuits. Celtics are not great at all anymore.
3) McCray's dad is still much more well respected than he is since he started the program. McCray does however design nice workouts (although that skill may be diminishing).
4) LSU has as good a shot at players out of Georgia (and likely better) than Moo State even with them having McCray (see Patterson, TQ and some players LSU is recruiting for 2016 and beyond).
Long story short... the hire is a reach. McCray isn't near as valuable of an asset as it was once assumed. It's why he is routinely out of work when it comes to the college ranks.

CoachD-I really don't care what power McCray has, as I said, this is a Newman thread, end of discussion.
And Tom Izzo has proven you DON'T have to have a team of McDonalds All Americans to be a power basketball program. Howland has skins on the wall that will attract BETTER players than normal. Izzo has beaten teams with 5-6 All Americans to his maybe one. Anyway, let's get Malik Newman and all this is moot.
