Get Hodgson, Get Melo on Board

[kingtidge]

Kelsey year 1 just showed us what ripping off the band aid and hiring the right coach means.

I hope JW has the leadership and funds to do it...

Go out and get Hodgson and get Melo on board with it. I sure hope the wheels are turning on the DL.

Do the job, John Wildhack.

Red will always be a Cuse legend which is why this really sucks, but he's assembled a group of misfits and he's out of his depth trying to coach them. The offense is poor, the turnover bug returned, and it's clear we whiffed in the portal.

But the greatest concern is we look completely incapable of playing any semblance of defense against better teams and the effort being put forth is very suspect. I believe the term is "mailing it in". That cannot stand. 100% unacceptable.

This can't be run back unless the powers that be are more than ready to accept more of the same (which I fear they may be.) Hope that is an unwarranted fear.

Was Nate Oats top recruiter.

 

[phil77]

He is the best option. He was Freeman's lead recruiter for Alabama as well if we thinking about wanting to keep him and maybe White.

There's not not buzz... (the shark)

 

[Cuse12]

I do agree with going to melo like we went to former cuse fball players when hiring Fran

Who's the other team he's referring to?

 

[Newhouser]

Who's the other team he's referring to?

Indiana

Indiana.

Probably in the minority but I would much prefer an established winner. Doesn't really matter the level. Winners win.

If Hodgson is a great recruiter like his reputation makes him out to be then he should be able to sell Melo on his vision and keep him, his kid, and his money.

Indiana has a really tough schedule coming up. Going to get ugly for woodson

 

[hoopsupstate]

Who's the other team he's referring to?

I think Indiana

Doesn’t matter who we hire next if he’s not backed by a serious upgrade in NIL budget. Louisville is top ten in that regard. Kelsey’s a great coach, but he still had to buy talent.

He might be looking for an exit strategy like Enfield and calipari and phones Melo for landing spot.

 

[Blanko97]

at least they have a crowd

 

[5OutFred]

Don't underestimate the power a fanbase can have on influencing a coaching decision. JW sees it, hears it and his pockets feel it. Big time.

Day man, come on... His team is missing two top players, and his best transfer was #77 according to 247. its not like he went out and got 10 top 50 guys... NIL my a$$. He can coach, red cant simple as that. I dont believe for a second this is some 8 million dollar roster

 

[Trueblue25]

It was the quietest crowd ive ever witnessed. Its just embarrassing.

It looked real bad on TV.

Is why - Get Melo on Board...

Not sure why this is so complicated for some folks.

We bought Eddie Money, who did Louisville buy? The pg Hepburn? Did they really go that nuts in the portal? Asking, since most of their guys I never heard of.

Worse in person. The loudest it got was the Savannah, NY crowd cheering for the local UL player. The domes unrecognizable.
