Hopefully the MAC team is us, it would make sense since "Buffalo's in Canada"
Am I missing something but doesnt the season usually start the first week of November? And isnt the hall of fame in Massachusetts?
But that sounds like a really cool event to be apart of. Not to mention being able to recruit and just have the schools name out and about in Toronto.
-
Winning the Mac should still be a realistic goal.
We are losing 5 seniors but the returning players have a lot of talent. Including 2 that should compete for player of the year
All we are really missing is depth at the 4 and 5 spot. We get the juco's re committed and the Bulls will be very dangerous come March once again

FWIW: Boals is getting $581k at Ohio, was getting $365k at Stony Brook.
We should be paying Ohio salaries, not Stony Brook salaries. Not saying Whitesell is worth $581k, but if we weren't offering that level of money to other candidates, it's not good.
I'm kinda shocked he didnt get paid more. His resume is solid. His last head coach job was his first coaching job in division 1. Since then he has coached with steve lavin, rick Majerus and nate oats
Hopefully they are putting the money saved to good use

The contract might be the reason whitesell was hired.
Assuming any coach rumored to have interviewed would have commanded 500k plus.
The ones interviewed weren't 200k plus better than whitesell

Whitesell's weakness is recruiting. It wouldn't be the brightest idea to go away from the brand of basketball that ub has been playing. This style will make recruiting easier
-
When it comes to recruiting buffalo has a few things working for the program. Winning and tournament appearances, fan support, and if whitesell keeps the same system the style ub plays.

I think I was ok with the heavy search for the bigger fish... As long as we didn't lose anything in the process. And so far it appears despite the search, we didn't lose anyone on the roster. So the wait didn't have any effects that I can see right now... as far as recruits go that was going to happen either way.
I guess in a perfect world we could have kept both Hodgson and Whitsell while Oats created a new staff. But didnt fall that way.
I wonder if one of the reasons for the length of this process was about keeping hodgson on staff somehow. Maybe just weird timing but hodgson releases his goodbye to buffalo right before whitesell is named head coach
-
Jim Whitesell in my opinion is a great choice, especially if he can get a top recruiter to be on his staff
With that said why did it take so long? It comes across like you settled for someone you didn't really want to hire in the first place

Can players take official or unofficial visits without n=being in the transfer portal?
Don't think it can be official but not sure what would stop a player visiting a "friend" on said campus
-
It's also one of the first weekends they are free from basketball commitments

I really hope Segu's Instagram story means he is on vacation but afaik UB is not on vacation...
It is a Friday though

As the roster currently stands it kinda will force the next coach to play a similar style as we have played the past few years
Small fast and aggressive
-
I think the longer this goes the higher likelihood the next ub coach is still coaching

Why is no one talking about the actual associate head coach of Michigan State?
Dwayne Stephens. He has to be a wildcard in this thing.
He fits the bill

Might have gotten an intro call or something.
Reading his bio on Boston college's web site he has a good amount of experience. Has been on successful mid major programs including time in the Mac with Ohio but bc has been a disappointment while he has been there.

What makes that an educated guess? A guy from a bad P5 school?
He followed Mark Alnutt on Twitter at least a week ago

Kinda looks like a more polished offensively version of Ikenna Smart from the video
This would be a good add
