Acker paying immediate dividends with the commitment of Lamont Butler. Butler referenced their relationship in his commitment interview with the U-T.

He's already appeared to have helped us more in recruiting in a few weeks than Palmer did in his year here. We'll see how he is with actual coaching, but this seems like a home run hire.

Offered Lovering, Watson and Evans. Helped get the Aztecs in Evans Top 7 & is working with Watson out of LB Poly, who is just a kid. I assume he helped close the deal on Butler. I'd give him an "A" for efforts!

Recruiting is the hardest part of coaching. His resume as a developmental and defensive coach is heartening. But if he is merely serviceable on that end but seriously delivering as a recruiter the other coaches would figure it out.

While recruiting talent is hard...it's just one facet of a success coach / program... A good example of a good recruiter / bad coach is Dave Rice. Rice brought in very good talent to UNLV but had a very difficult time with X's & O's (as well as some other issues) so he ultimately failed. Additionally, there have been some coaches who have had very little pure talent to work with (initially at least) but worked to develop players' skills and create a "system" of success (think Princeton's Pete Carril / Bill Carmody a few years back)

His interchangeable position system built around length presaged the Golden State Warriors by a decade.

When it is said that his teams underachieved understand that his teams still did well. He easily outperformed Dutcher over his first three years. Dave Rice’s first three teams finished 26-9 (3rd place MWC), 25-10 (3rd place MWC), and 20-13 (3rd place MWC) while earning an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament in 2 of his first three years. These teams spent 20 weeks ranked in the top 25 reaching as high as #11. His first team finished the season in the top 25 of both the coaches and AP polls. He posted 10 wins against top 25 teams including no. 13 Indiana, no. 15 Oregon, and no. 1 North Carolina. He did this against a much better MWC than the one Dutcher has faced in his first 3 years. He won less than 20 games (18) in only one of his complete seasons. In his final year, he was dismissed on January 10th after starting with 3 conference losses (despite some very impressive out of conference wins.) Dutcher has yet to have a team look good by Jan.10th. He had so much talent that it is fair to say that his teams underachieved. He also lost key members of his coaching staff (Hutson.) I'm not so sure that he would have fallen below 20 wins had he been playing against the more recent version of the MWC. Great X’s and O’s coaches who aren’t also plus recruiters can’t sustain success. Gimmick offenses might work in the Ivy League but they haven’t worked in better conferences. A mid-major team cannot sustain success without good recruiting efforts.

Hard to compare Dutcher in his first three years when he has only coached two years to this point. He is going into his third year.
New Mexico was the automatic qualifier for the NCAA tournament not UNLV for years 2012, 2013 and 2014. You mean that UNLV was an at large qualifier 2 out of 3 years.
Also you fail to state that UNLV was getting a higher level of recruits than SDSU, probably due to $$$ given by UNLV.

Also you fail to state that UNLV was getting a higher level of recruits than SDSU, probably due to $$$ given by UNLV. I meant at-large bid, which is a much better measure of success. The Automatic bid goes to the team that wins the right 3 games. There is a lot more luck at play in determining a tournament champion than in building an at-large bid resume. I only threw in the third season because it was a closer comparison to Dutcher’s 2 seasons to date. Though Dutcher has no chance of getting close to an at-large bid in the upcoming year. He won’t have the Aztecs ranked in the top 25 AND his recruiting classes have been inferior to Dave Rice’s. Crying about payola is unbecoming. When the Aztecs were rolling and landing impressive recruits we all laughed at opposing fans for making similar claims. Do you think that the deep pockets of Las Cruces boosters have greased the wheels for New Mexico State? Come on, man.

Wrong. We will be better than 20-13, we will be ranked, and we will be a bubble team with at-large decision resting on the outcome of ~2 games before the new year.

Dave Rice got players that were one and done. Never was able to build a culture at UNLV. His players were selfish. Not the best game coach, but not as bad as people think.

We haven’t been a bubble team since the NIT in Winston’s senior year. I don’t think that we’ve got the horses or schedule to pull it off in the upcoming season.
