This discussion is about recruiting and the effect a coach can have on recruiting.
He is an average overall coach but it's impossible to deny his ability to recruit. He will be successful at SLU if he keeps up this torrid recruiting pace because he will just have a ton more talent than any other program in the A-10.

This is where hiring KA really hurt the program - TheLegend MU - 10/26 10:36:49
     Not necessarily true. Many, if not most, of those kids - alwaysright MU - 10/26 17:52:08
     So you are saying that Travis Ford is a top flight coach? - John Murdoch MU - 10/26 13:36:06
          Only Tatum went to a program with a top flight coach - quicksand MU - 10/26 14:40:36
               Romar is Michael Porter's godfather. - John Murdoch MU - 10/26 15:39:58
     Kim Anderson cant get fired soon enough.(nm) - TigerMatt MU - 10/26 11:15:26
          Here at Mizzou we have to go through the whole dog and pony - jrmtiger MU - 10/26 11:18:47
          Does he make it thru the season? (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/26 11:16:42
               Yes. There is no advantage to firing him mid-season. - StaleyTiger MU - 10/26 11:18:21
                    I tend to agree (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/26 11:20:58
     As I said from the begining. Kim Anderson is not going to - jrmtiger MU - 10/26 10:51:57
          Which is the opposite of a guy like Ford (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/26 10:53:22
     Imagine the cash you could throw around with - Rabbit Test MU - 10/26 10:51:39
          The cash is there. Now if we could get the holier than thou - jrmtiger MU - 10/26 10:57:38
               Start kicking the dead weight out the door instead of lettin - Rabbit Test MU - 10/26 11:05:05
     LOL. Yeah, Haith and Suitcase would have got them, i'm sure - MUIntensity USA - 10/26 10:48:53
          Fail!!!!!!(nm) - DollarSigns MU - 10/26 11:01:42
          Just hurts to see Ford landing them at SLU - TheLegend MU - 10/26 10:52:41
               He hasn't landed Gordon. - MUIntensity USA - 10/26 11:04:24
                    Uh yes he has haha(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/26 11:07:00
                    A team that just won 10 games is not magically an NCAA team - NWMizzouFan MU - 10/26 11:05:47
                         Not magic. I'll break it down. - MUIntensity USA - 10/26 11:10:28
                              this team is awful defensively and we still have KA as the - NWMizzouFan MU - 10/26 11:14:22
                                   That's what you call circular logic - MUIntensity USA - 10/26 11:20:24
          That is 100% false. Recruiting is all about the coach. - tgr MU - 10/26 10:52:27
               ford has done nothing(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 10/26 10:58:33
                    He has been an amazing recruiter and that's what I was - tgr MU - 10/26 11:01:07
                         mike anderson was a good coach here(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 10/26 11:01:43
                              I think his dog and pony show had run its course - MUIntensity USA - 10/26 11:06:30
                                   He has recruited MUCH better at Arkansas than he did at - StaleyTiger MU - 10/26 11:08:55
                              He was. Mike Anderson made 3 NCAA tournaments in 5 years - tgr MU - 10/26 11:05:32
                    What has Kim done? Ford recruits circles around him. It's - jrmtiger MU - 10/26 10:59:23
                         kim hasn't done anything either and everyone knows that. - ajpe53 MU - 10/26 11:00:33
                              He will be winning the A-10 most years if he keeps - StaleyTiger MU - 10/26 11:02:52
                                   and then he will move on if he has any success. losing - ajpe53 MU - 10/26 11:04:32
                                        But will he? He's already been fired at the P5 level. Will - StaleyTiger MU - 10/26 11:07:15
               Yea recruiting is the most important thing - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/26 10:56:39
               You and I have wildly different views on what constitutes a - LimerNick MU - 10/26 10:56:24
                    Ford is a bad X's & O's coach and a good recruiting coach. - tgr MU - 10/26 10:59:08
                         Right, that talent will win in the A-10 - TheLegend MU - 10/26 11:01:22
     How many StL players did Norm get? Suitcase? Haith?(nm) - sprintcar STL - 10/26 10:42:26
          Very few(nm) - Uncle John MU - 10/26 10:57:24
          norm failed to recruit sl - tigerdb MU - 10/26 10:53:18
          Ford appears to have built relationships locally quickly - TheLegend MU - 10/26 10:46:33
               2018 is super deep - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/26 10:55:17
                    This is one reason that we should have moved on from Kim - tigerdb MU - 10/26 11:00:52
                         Even if KA is fired a new coach will still have - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/26 11:09:19
                              6 months isn't a lot of time to build relationships - tigerdb MU - 10/26 11:15:27
                                   Theoretically a new coach would already have contacts - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/26 11:30:54
                                        while true, he may not have the local ties. (nm) - tigerdb MU - 10/26 12:20:25
                                             local ties really haven't mattered much in hoops - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/26 12:24:58
                         That is certainly the fear - TheLegend MU - 10/26 11:03:39
               just like we always have. (nm) - ajpe53 MU - 10/26 10:49:40
     that's not unique to KA. it's been mainly all mizzou - ajpe53 MU - 10/26 10:39:22
