New Assistant: Brenden Straughn [Now confirmed]

[kingtidge]

Folks you do realize the only people that have come out and said anything about Georgetown being interested in our target are only people on this board and it was teed up as a what if scenario. No one else has said anything from a media standpoint. So why are some of you getting worried about something that hasn't even happened? Let's try a different approach. Here we go. "Have you guys heard?!!! We are getting this awesome coach and it's just going through Legal formalities, anytime now! Isn't that great?!! Let's not let phantom thoughts muddy things up.

This is the train to be on...

Has been acknowledged to the moon... EVERYONE is happy about it!

BUT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES!?!?!?!?!?!?

how dare you not announce the signing of an AC that was only predicted on twitter!

 

[llandz]

Hey instead of being negative about our current staff who had hands tied behind their backs previously we could maybe acknowledge adding Starling in the first 72 hours they had the reins.

Sending you a pm...

Interesting, the plot thickens. Bucknell just hired another of St Joe’s assistant coaches, John Griffin to be their head coach. A LOT of moving parts on this one.

Yeah, so he's supposed to be a DMV connections specialist like Straughn, correct?

 

[NorSyr66]

Things have been too calm since Red was named head coach. We need a good freak out here.

I agree with you. Making me nervous. No portal activity in or out since JJ. Straughn is still hanging. Possibly I am going through basketball withdrawal after the flurry last week in Syracuse? I know...I can watch WBC game this evening or Woodson and Quincy in NITs!

I think everybody is just looking for some clarity on an assistant coach and the roster. Who’s staying and who’s going? I’m sure it takes time to do a solid background check and finalize a contract. Maybe tomorrow we hear something. I’ve been telling myself that for the last several days.

Any reason to worry that he follows English to Providence?

Straughn is gone?

P.C. doesn't pay as well as we do for ass'ts. Or at least they didn't. Orr got a big raise to come home from P.C..

 

[jdubs30]

I wonder if Oduro would go to Providence now though ….

Great news; does GMAC go to Colgate If Langel lands at Temple??

No. Langel makes less what Gmac will make next year as the assistant head coach at Syracuse.

 

[Orangezoo]

No. Langel makes less that Gmac will make next year as the assistant head coach at Syracuse.

Which is kind of funny even if expected as a small program, given just how expensive Colgate is..
