Message: [QUOTE="SmilinBob, post: 512408, member: 857"] This is one reason why I think hiring alumni sometimes can be a double edged sword. It's wonderful when they are there and doing well but when it comes time to part it just seems to be X times worse and pretty much a lose-lose situation no matter how they leave. This has been talked about over and over again and I get the bitterness by some and I'm sure it's for valid reasons. IMO, we've been thinned out after having the program built back up and now we are restocking and going to be stronger than we have in a while, hopefully ever. If Hackett was Marrones first pick or 5th it is what it is and I don't know what went on between Doug and the school or alumni but hopefully the past is the past and SS and his staff can learn from this and give us what we've been waiting for since the 90's and again, hopefully even more.
