Your correct on Johnny Dawkins. Stanford to UCF For McDermott, I always thought that was a Creighton gimmick to get his kid when it first happened. It worked out well for Creighton. Doug was not a big recruit. I highly doubt Creighton hired a coach to get his 3 star son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Alford was on his way to the hot seat before he resigned but I don't think he was going to be fired. The turning point of his tenure was when he defended Pierre Pierce, who was charged with sexual assault and forced to sit out a year after pleading to a lesser charge. Pierce came back to the team and was arrested the next year for assaulting a former girlfriend. I think Iowa fans could have lived with making the NCAAs 2 out of every 5 years. But not if the cost was supporting a coach who tarnishes the school's image by taking sides in a sexual assault case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 8 hours ago, thetorch said: Hope Patrick Ewing gets the Georgetown job. He's put in work as an NBA assistant and has interviewed for HC jobs dozens of times. No owner will hire him, really because of his playing career and his involvement in the player's union. It'd be a continuation of the Thompson legacy, so it's a matter of whether the school wants to continue that, or do something new. How about Shaka Smart? He's already on a hot seat at Texas and I think the buyout is negligible, from what I've read. Some have also mentioned Tommy Amaker.

Taj79 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Shaka is a big name out east here for G-town. Has the same style that originally made G-town famous an dis a break from Thompson lineage. Another name being floated is Danny Hurely, who needs no introduction at all. Hurley supposedly well tuned in to private, Catholic school routine per the pundits. Anybody else hearing Chris Mack to Indiana? I heard choices are 1) Alford, 2) Billy Donovan and 3)Brad Stevens but 2 and 3 would have to bail on their NBA teams now and not likely. Mack to Indian would open up Xavier -- to former assistant Kelsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alford left Iowa because they were going to fire him if not that year certainly the next. Nobody leaves Iowa to go to New Mexico of their own volition.

Fife played for the Hoosiers, was the head HC at IU-Ft. Wayne, and now Assist under Izzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Shaka isn't on the hot seat. He had one bad season due to no PG and very young team. He exceeded expectations in his first season. Has a commit from a 4star top ten PG Matt Coleman and is in on Mohammed Bomba the #1 recruit in the country. I think he's fine and hear no hot seat rumblings. Although I wonder if he'd bolt for GTown? Basketball School might be attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well, we were just wondering how this year's SLU team would have done with Tatum. Seeing Porter with Mizzou for one year should be a pretty similar scenario, unless other dominoes fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Not that it means anything, but Mizzou's crystal ball for Tilmon is up to 67%. I think it is something that won't happen, since walker has been re-signed, but just interesting to see "expert" responses to things like this.

The response was that Hughes choosing SLU knocked a few dominoes over but they didn't translate to much success after he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
