the athletic department doesn't want college kids getting sloppy drunk at a department happy hour event.

Didn't stop me back in the day 🤣

I like this guy.

So no veteran AC on staff. Interesting approach. I suppose GH has a lot of experience for a first time HC, but this will be something to keep an eye on.

It seems like Jay Wright was mentoring him as a HC-to-be for a while now. On paper this feels like a coach ready to lead his program and filled a staff with guys who are complementary instead of those that provide program experience/guidance.

We've got ourselves a staff. All eyes on the roster!

He going to hire an Associate right before the Meet & Greet?

I will be there! Probably right at 5pm, maybe even a little earlier. I have my questions about Philly Cheese Steak and Chicken Wings ready for HC GH3!

specifically about ranch, right?

Excited for Ben to have a chance to almost win the MAC

So... emails or not it seems like they still have one coaching seat left to fill

oh what could have been

The only other mention I really see of him is getting D3 offers and a preferred walk-on spot at UC Davis. I'd be surprised if we're recruiting him as a scholarship player (if this is even the current staff's work)
 

 

Yea, likely a JW guy

I'd be more excited if/when I start seeing new transfers go to Buffalo.

I have a feeling this staff intends on having a full roster.

So the UB Distinguished Speaker Series at UB should also be sent out through the UB Men's Basketball Email list? lol clearly what we're advocating for...

I already get emails from UB Athletics, UB Men's Basketball, UB Women's Basketball, UB Office of Alumni Engagement, UB Ticket Office, UB Engineering, among many others.   I don't need more emails.

The UB Office of Alumni Engagement did send out an email in March about the MAC Tournament. 

Yes, it would be nice if there was a way to "opt in" to these lists. But, if you're really interested in UB sports, you'd just need to follow this forum!!

Are you telling me the alumni office doesn't have access to donor/affinity data which could enable sending a segmented email to interested/active alumni+ donors?

Not sure why the Alumni Association would be sending out announcements fort these events.

This is [one of] the problem at UB. Everything stays siloed.

Guy wanted out of Nichols bad

With how many jobs he interviewed for he probably needed to leave, I can't imagine recruits being interested in committing to a guy who wants out himself 

Honestly it might be the highest paying job he interviewed for lol

Hey mods - can we have a Women’s roster thread instead?

Sure I’ll work on splitting these off!

And they're reportedly hiring Pettway. 3 assistants up, 3 assitants down for Oats. Going to be quite a rebuild down there in Alabama...

Associate: Open

Assistant: Cage

Assistant: Foley Tibbs

DOBO: Saunders

This staff is such a refreshing change from the last group!
