The issue we have here, and it's a greater version of the concern people have with Dabo, is just can he make the step up and can he recruit better than he has?
The Pac-12 isn't an especially difficult conference, so the question is does he maintain that success at a higher level? Furthermore, does he not just adapt to the southeast, but does he recruit better?
He's never been a great recruiter from what I can tell, so he'd have to both adapt and improve. Every realistic possibility seems to have some big question marks, his isn't can he coach... but can be recruit the southeast (much) better than he's been recruiting out west? He's not going to have that same level of success without more 4 and 5 stars going against SEC teams...
