I like the Russ Brandon chatter here because there was a 'change' in mentality (at least from the outside looking in). I'm going to have to go with Buddy though. He, and subsequently Whaley, have improved our roster by light years from when they took over. The results aren't there yet but it's fairly difficult to look at our players top to bottom and not recognize they have collected a lot of elite talent.
Having said that, I think Doug Whaley is a superstar for the next quarter of a century. That alone makes Nix a 'genius' in my eyes.
Oh...and that Pegula guy is pretty cool too.
