You are getting slapped with the block. If anyone would like me to stop posting what I hear, I will gladly do so. I don't really care if you block me for calling out your continued BS. Unfortunately you wont see this, but yes, I would like you to stop posting what you hear from clearly unreliable "sources." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we did try to land Cohen, he also mentioned Rob Jones who another said may have turned us down. Anybody with sources not named Mark Alnutt isn’t going to bat 1.000? I’m more entertained by people with thin sources than just wallowing in Alnutt’s incompetence… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what your obvious beef is with the guy, he shouldn't stop posting what he discovers whether his sources are 100% or not. This is a message board. It's made for fan speculation in these instances so I'll take anything over silence. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here’s hoping 15 years at Villanova and hand picked by Jay Wright to stay on after his retirement. Would be pretty wild hire and has recruiting ties where we would want to recruit. Maybe a couple Villanova portal guys come along for the ride? Too much? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was still waiting for you to show me where I said someone was signing next week? This is the issue I'm having. If I had, I'd even understand. I posted the exact words I was given. Cohen wanted to take this job but we already discussed other factors why he didn't. Please show me or stop saying it. It's slander at this point. Sorry I haven't been able to lock down who they are landing with certainty. I don't even think the AD knows. There are a lot of factors he's running into right now. I'll keep it private though.

You’re exactly right, this would be a shocking hire but I’m for it if it gets us a new HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clodney Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Halcovage feels like another rejection. If that happens publicly again, CSA needs to be fired immediately.
