This team is so undisciplined. This has turned into a mess

What is Cole Snyder doing on that 4th down?

I'm not the one who hires the coaches. I wanted Whitsell gone because I didn't think he was the best hire. The answer is Alnutt by the way, not me calling for Whitesell to get fired on a message board. See all of his hires.

What did we do to deserve this?

I agree with your sentiment. Not everything is built around star rankings, but it sure would be nice to get guys that are highly coveted. It doesn't mean everything as I'm sure some will point to our Tom Brady (CJ) and say "you don't need stars!". Thats the exception, not the rule. They also surrounded CJ with high-end recruits. Hodgson is still scoring very high-end guys even to Arkansas State. Ohio is a factory of high-end recruits as well. 247 is the best and most consistent recruiting site out there in my opinion, have we scored even one player that they rank? 247 knows more than IG clips of a player. Also, a D1-level player generally should be in the top 100 JUCO rankings. Very rarely will a bad shooting JUCO player convert. I'm interested to see how he can handle the ball, but I'm not sure we can say to not worry about his D2 Juco shooting performances. That's not realistic. It almost feels like we are taking what we can get rather than pressing the limits. Every single player so far had limited to no competition. Either this NIL money is a huge problem, or they are only recruiting under-the-radar types, which by in large doesn't work. It can work on a onesie-twosie basis but not as your main recruiting efforts at this level.

They can survive at forward right now, just a single starter is needed there. Guard is in really bad shape

This always made sense to me. Tibbs wasn't taking a lateral move. Not sure who would have said that there, but that didn't make too much sense.

One of them will be announced as associate. I think it would be Presutti or Tibbs.

Yeah with him out of course that plays a role, but I don't think he'd still take a lateral move to a "less program/conference" I have to assume he's at least chair 2.

Yeah, chair 2 has more responsibility. Of course, everyone helps with recruiting, but chair 3 (lead recruiter) does a lot of it.

Wouldn't that be lateral? I feel like UB had to offer him the associate position to draw him here. Or at least, chair 2

According to his Twitter, he is. He removed the "former" on it. I'd assume Fox is gone with Saunders taking the spot.

So. we have: Associate: Open Assistant: Cage Assistant: Foley DOBO: Saunders That correct?

Does anyone know why the Vilanova job went to Neptune and not him?

Hal - CO-VIGE

I'm happy. LIke it a lot more than going after Jones, Calhoun, and Claunch. They got it right, at one time he was the top guy to replace Jay Wright. I always thought UB could be very similar to Nova.

Can't disagree. But it still makes you wonder if he thought he would be able to lock up Washington or Cohen.

Nope, but I know you work/worked (not sure with the staff transition) for the team. There was a line into the team from this message board. Especially now with your recent blaming of the administration and not the coaching staff/CSA is pretty telling for me. Why? He's the one that said that it's not CSA's job to do anything but match them. None of us could do any better in this case. The university would have botched anyone that any of us put in front of them.

This is a lot of knowledge for someone who doesn't work for a university and in mid-major sports.

Are we excited or not for a 266 Kenpom team getting a promotion after going 16-15 while losing to their bottom-feeder team in the conference tournament? One of the last-ranked teams in offensive efficiency. The guy has a nickname for trying to interview anywhere that will take him. All of his players were seniors and would have no one to take with him. This isn't the hire that inspires me. The actual top coach in this conference went to WKU.

Nah, don't backtrack now. Nothing I said was unreliable considering the AD doesn't know where this search is going. You said downright lying is disrespectful. Which was blasphemous that I'd come on here to lie to 50 people. I'm still waiting for you to tell me where I said Cohen would sign next week.

Wow, Coach Hodgson taking Quarles is interesting for sure.

I thought I had fake sources? Pretty lucky guess on Jones I guess. I found it interesting that he hasn't been officially declined and liked a tweet I was mentioned in.

Here's what I just got on that when I asked: "Not sure what happened at Bucknell then was supposedly interested in Furman but Furman not open unless Richey gets USF"

He rejected UB. I'm not sure at what stage, but I was counting the fact that he was on our short list and quickly removed from it by saying no
