That look... "What do you mean I can't call my third timeout of the first quarter?" "Mo, you're the co-co assistant DC, you don't get any timeouts."

I just stated FACTS about what I know. The KenPom and recruiting rankings are what they are. Hodgson is very much trending upwards and GHIII not so much. For those who claimed to have detailed knowledge of what Hodgson did or didn’t do when leaving for Bama….good for you. People make mistakes….get over it. He’s is still a relatively young man and if what some of you stated he did is true, I’d imagine he’d want a mulligan. I ran into Hodgson at the airport b4 the hire and Hodgson told me that he was very interested in coming back to UB. This is a relationship business and the fact that ADMA severed the relationship with the Oats years is poor judgement IMO. The FACT is that we cut ties to the greatest era in Bulls basketball history for GHIII and that decision appears to be an absolute joke.

Crawford was a Michigan State commit out of a performing arts HS in Pittsburgh. Another 2024 HS graduate. He is a corner.

I have first hand knowledge from multiple people involved with the UB program that Hodgson was told he wasn't getting the head coaching job prior to him leaving with Oats. He told them he was going to Alabama if he didn't get the position. The fuss people have made over this is about semantics and a lack of information of things already known inside the program.

I thought Whitesell and Co had good energy out there, not on the level of Oats and Hurley but that was their style and not his, I felt that Whitesell had a presence on the sidelines and I still felt that his teams played with a blue collar mentality. As far as NIL, under Whitesell the players had NIL infrastructure that was there for the team. When JW was let go so did the NIL Money. If JW had of stayed we would have been an upper team in the MAC this season maybe even competing with Akron if they had brought the right transfer PG in to replace Foster. JW had a full rebuild last season, developed players like Curtis Jones, Isaac Jack, Isaiah Adams etc, they played one of the top non-conference schedules in the nation according to Kenpom and brought in a lot of money for the University through the Buy Games - Made it to Cleveland and won almost half of their games in a full rebuild season! Now we are in a full rebuild situation again - We have a win against a NON-D1 school and a directional Michigan school. ADMA in my mind is the one who should be held responsible with his mishandling of the JW Firing and this poor hire in GH.

Yes great clarification. It can come from the coach but he doesn't need to be the only one to show it, and he certainly doesn't need to show it to instill it in the culture. I think Oats -> Whitesell -> GH3 is like a Pokemon who is devolving. Oats was a major hype guy, it went from top to bottom in the org, and it's no surprise that Hodgson coaches the same way. Whitesell was more reserved, but I think his teams still had some buzz. Could easily be trickle down from the Oats days but I think of a guy like Hardnett who always had that swag and energy on the court and Quill never played for Oats. GH3 is... a lemon 😅 Basically what I'm saying is I'm afraid that the "energy" we're seeing from the Bulls these days is the GH3 culture. More reserved.

It is sort of buried in the anti-trust exemption given to the NFL to allow its television deals. The NFL cannot play on Fridays or Saturdays until after, what is now the Army-Navy game. It was put into the law to protect college and high school football from being destroyed by the NFL on television in the late 1960s. The new NFL Black Friday game is played right on the edge of the protected time slots for college and high school time slots.

From Coach Mo's X Account, I'm guessing this is his final statement. With that, I pushed the Unfollow button. Peace out.

Safety from Delaware. 2024 HS grad. Was committed to James Madison, but it seems he opened up again after their coaching change? Good luck to him! Go Bulls!

That should be the last staff member. I believe the OC is also the QB coach, so I think we are fully staffed.

If we are putting out opinions out for hindsight - my pick would have been someone like Ben McCollum. I think rather than hiring an assistant coach, I would prefer a head coach who has had a track record of success that is looking to move to next level.

Frankly at the time of hiring I wanted a head coach with more experience on their resume than Hodgson, but then we whiffed on all of those guys. We just ended up with the inexperienced coach with no connection to UB instead. Now I'd take Hodgson in a heartbeat lol

Would you hire back a person to your company who when they left, while still your employee, was seen promoting a competitor? That is what Hogdson did. I would not rehire that person.

Currently has Arkansas State at 162 in KenPom as compared to 349 for GHIII and the Bulls. Bulls finished last year at 211 while Arkansas State finished at 287. Hodgson’s recruiting appears not to have missed a beat either. https://247sports.com/player/rchaun-king-46128951/ https://247sports.com/Recruitment/josh-hill-158020/RecruitInterests/ ADMA severed all ties to the greatest era in Bulls basketball history! Hodgson is a local kid from Jamestown who is a die hard Bills fan. His story of rising through adversity of the foster care system is amazing.
