Stewart, in his 22nd season at Missouri, has taken dozens of players other coaches overlooked, and won with them. But Missouri had never really been in the fast lane of urban recruiting. By selling Chievous on Mizzou, Daly put the Tigers there. "We've gotten other great players here, but he was kind of a controversial person," Daly said. "We got him out of New York. The only reason we were able to get him is he's different. He doesn't want to do what every other New York player has done. "We worked him hard. It was a happy day when we signed him. Norm did a great job with him. Norm did a great job with his mother." When Daly followed up by establishing the Tigers in Detroit, he helped re-establish Missouri as a top 20 program.
Daly helped himself immensely in ' Detroit by recruiting Hardy, a marginal college prospect who blossomed into a solid guard at Missouri. Hardy proved to be a useful consolation prize. "Lynn Hardy was no find coming out of high school," former Univesity of Detroit coach Don Sicko said. "Lynn Hardy should have paid to go to college."
"When I first got here, we were down," said Daly, 47. "They had just gotten done with the (Jon) Sundvold and (Steve) Stipanoyich era. The cupboard wasn't completely full. It's easier to recruit players when you have players. They want to be where the great players are. If you have talent, they want to go where there is talent." In his first few seasons at Mizzou, Daly was a road warrior. Since the NCAA hadn't yet established its hands-off recruiting periods, Daly spent all season and much of the summer pursuing prospects. , "The two years I was on the staff with him, he hardly ever made a v Missouri game,” Filbert said. "There was a period there when he was always gone."
“He not only does a super job attracting talent, he does a great job evaluating it. The first prerequisite is you have to evaluate them. He got some superb players other people didn't think were that good." Tennessee-Chattanooga coach Murray Arnold on Rich Daly.
"I don't think there is any question there is sour grapes," Filbert said. "When a person comes in and does a job like that, people look for a reason. He knows the NCAA rules backward and frontward because he studies them. He obviously doesn't break any rules."
Arnold couldn't understand why Daly's peers criticize him. "He's totally committed to doing this in a quality fashion," Arnold said. "As far as I know, he's done everything on a first-class basis. In this business, you're going to take criticism for your success or your lack of success."
"He knows how to recruit players. It doesn't matter where the players are. If he found out there were a bunch of players up in Seattle, he'd go up to Seattle and get players. "He has a good feel for what makes a player choose a particular school the coach, the family, a girlfriend, whatever. If you say no, he'll try to find a way to make you say yes. If you don't want to talk about one subject, he'll get you talking about something else."
