Wow 63 pages. This thread got very crazy, reading through it now, Jim certainly has his supporters. Are we all ready to move on now. I saw the writing on the wall for this team and coach 3 years ago to this day. He didn't have Nate Oats to give him players. Even one of their better players this season, Hardnett, was a Hodgson/Oats player that the team was passed through after they left. The right thing to do for the team is to restart with a young upstart coach like Hurley or Oats.

This is what hiring a coach with pedigree can do for you. Instantly toward the top of the MAC with all the players who have left. But they were able to fill with big names.

Updated 6/4 - PG - Jones (SO), Foster (SR*), Ceaser (FR) SG - Powell (*JR), Blocker (SO), Jones (SO) Wing - Adams (*JR) F - Hardnett (*RS-SR), Williamson (R-FR) F - Sy Chatman (*SR), Mading (SO), Jack (FR) *-have a covid year they could use 1 Scholarship

So transfer in two years when he develops. How long before he's in the portal? I know its your favorite sticking point lol

PG - Jones (SO), Foster (SR*), Ceaser (FR) SG - Powell (*JR), Blocker (SO), Jones (SO) Wing - Adams (*JR) F - Hardnett (*RS-SR), Williamson (R-FR) F - Sy Chatman (*SR), Mading (SO), Jack (FR) *-have a covid year they could use 1 Scholarship

It is, but the issue is that can we bring in enough to replace the lost players

Would be a day 1 starting wing

.500 is a number he knows well

Updated. Only 7 players on the roster right now. They have 6 spots to fill

Interesting prospect. He declared as a Freshman as a 10 point guy. Then he straight fell off. Weird career. https://www.blackandgoldbanneret.com/mens-basketball/2021/7/7/22566977/isaiah-adams-cj-walker-back-with-ucf-knights-for-2021-22-mens-basketball-aac-johnny-dawkins

It would be nice to add a defensive guard. That will help. This was missing the last two years.

This is the best thing I've seen today. Thank you for that.

must be nice

Their coach is a high level recruiter. They just got the highest recruit in their history this year. It's not as big of a loss when you can fill in for losses. Losses aren't the problem. https://247sports.com/college/ohio/Season/2022-Basketball/Commits/

We gladly give whatever info UB athletics is willing to share

Williams is going pro. Only one left is Mballa. This isn't Ohio where apparently you play all 6-7 years (wilson, carter, BVP)

Where is the buyout directly generated from a ranked basketball team that guy a coach hired by Alabama + 1mil. Went to the NSC I guess

Segu is going pro.

Those were options throughout the process that I had done research on. Not this second, though I updated their current locations so that bonnies fans wont be confused. The university is not eating 600k buy out fee regardless of how much we would like a change. Also congrats on your Patriots fan coach big timing your university for 1.8M with UMass.

There are plenty of coaching options within budget. This wasn't a Whitesell or NAIA discussion. Heck, they hired a firm for no reason that they paid. There are plenty of coaches out there who will take 400k to head coach in a solid mid-major conference. There is no risk with the unknown, especially now. The risk is if you are worried about trading in Blocker for a reshuffle. I think it's worth it. Jared Grasso (head coach Bryant), Shaheen (~250k now) Steve Lavin (makes nothing as FOX analyst now) Desmond Oliver (ETSU) Dwayne Killings (Albany) ND's Antoni Wyche (up and coming) Tobin Anderson (head coach St. Thomas Aquinas) Gerry McNamara (up and coming) -

How do we know where the money goes though? To Jeseph's point, what is the point of donating when we aren't sure where/why it's being used and funneled elsewhere.

My my my how the turntables - https://www.ubbullrun.com/2022/3/25/22973648/is-it-time-for-a-change-yes-yes-it-is

Was the right hire at the time for UB and recommended to the team per my info inside the Tennessee program

I can't say for sure, but it certainly seemed as if he caught off guard. We can put up a number on this and it's certainly not 0. We talked to him in person after the extension and he thought he got enough done for him to stay.

Got you covered: PG - Jones (SO), Ceaser (FR) SG - Powell (JR), Blocker (SO) Wing - None F - Hardnett (SR), Williamson (R-FR) F - Mading (SO)
