"I want to keep anyone who wants to be there". Wow. This doesn't feel like a low major hire mentality wise. This feels like a big league hire. Yes. I'm giddy.

He moves fast. Jeez Jake @jakeweingarten · 2h Marquette transfer Symir Torrence tells @Stockrisers he’s heard from the following schools: South Carolina, VCU, Wake Forest, UMass, Siena, Albany. Former four-star recruit appeared in 52 games for the Golden Eagles in two seasons.

I can't think of a box that isn't checked with this guy. Young Experienced Recruiting background Personable Cares about the community Uptempo Offense Anything else I'm missing?

Don't you have some children to yell at for standing on your property?

"We're gonna play fast". I LOVE THIS. THIS IS EVERYTHING

Wow. No grass growing under this guy. Impressive. Could these be Marquette role players he likes for our level?

I've never understood why so many Albany City Rocks kids slipped away from us...so that makes this little tidbit that much more interesting \He came to UVM after five seasons coaching at The Albany Academy in Albany, N.Y. and five seasons coaching in the Albany City Rocks program. Tibbs is a 2007 graduate of West Virginia University and owns a masters degree from the University of Phoenix.While associated with the Albany City Rocks program, Tibbs coached one ESPN Top 100 Player, one USA U18 player and had players invited to the KD Skills Academy, the LeBron James Skills Academy and the Ty Lawson & Victor Oladipo All-American Camp.

They call him...Mr. Tibbs.

Apparently he’s also very active in using his platform, with other Big East coaches, as an agent for change. That seems to make coaches like Kerr, Pop and Marr loved by his players. the more I read the more I really like.

I love this hire. Exactly what we need. Young, known to be a great recruiter and has been at the highest levels. Not sure the offense he’s going to run but checks all the boxes.

I think his brother goes to or went to Santa Clara

I really like this list, though Oliver and Neptune more than Killings. Apparently Oliver is a hell of a recruiter and really boosted the Vols recruiting into the top 5. I also like that they would be taking from high profile programs, which i'm inferring a desire to grow the program on a national vs. regional level.

That's not the point. So you'd rather go .500 or so with what we have than TRY to do better? Feel free to use any of the below analogies - Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet - To create you must destroy - A fish starts rotting from the head Um...I thought I had more of those. Oh well. Happy Hour!!!

Also, Brett Queener is a lacrosse coach at my kid’s school down here

My plan WAS Football on Flo on the big TV (they are on APPLE TV) and then Lacrosse on my computer/iPad, but my neighbor's kid is having his birthday at 1 and my daughter is invited, and there's probably no way I can get out of it...even if said neighbor went on a drunken rant about how my 1-year old spaniel/aussie mix rescue has mental issues/is "deranged" because she was abandoned as a puppy (we got her at 5 weeks), so there's that... And now you know what my life in Florida is like... Carry on...

So do they have 162mm to spend tbd?or has it already been spent?

I just wasn’t sure who you were saying were the names being thrown around.

Wait. What’s wrong with a guy from Villanova?

"The style of play until late in the season this year is at times unwatchable. Look at the lack of interest in game threads on this board and attendance figures. If you're winning you deal w/ that style but when you aren't (and I mean really winning) that style is awful to watch. " This has been my 100% complaint about Will Brown all these years. You have the population, and a potential fan base, but the style and disinterest in things like OOC was never going to get those "Asses In The Seats" and without consistent winning...

They also poured out French wine...that they already bought, which was incredibly amusing to me. And there are 1000s of these as well. The company I work for was faced with a boycott in 2019 because we dared show two women kissing at their wedding ceremony. Love is Love people.

Exactly...

I’d back this in a heartbeat

Before you light your torches just yet just because they enter the portal doesn’t mean they are gone.

Thank you for your pragmatism.
