So much for Cooley and Archie’s “close friendship”. As they say, with friends like these, who needs enemies…. I'm very confused by this post. What do you mean? Assistant coaches move ALL THE TIME. 1 year contracts. Guys jump all over. Coaches will go from D1 to D3 because of a pay raise. Coaches wi...

Every D1 Coach (and probably on down through every level) always at the very least has a mental list of who they would like...

Saw a Georgetown fan mention the name Louis Hinnant from George Mason as a possibility for the Georgetown job. He has deep DMV routes, but has spent plenty of time in New England. He was a 4 year starter at BC for Al Skinner and then worked under former BC assistant Coach Duquette at Umass Lowell be...

Interesting name with Xavier Joyner. Hoop Dirt had reported that he was heading to Vandy, but obviously things change quickly. Definitely a good guy with a very positive reputation in the area. Yeah, I just read that most of the JMU staff is going to Vandy, including Joyner. Calvin Baker, another D...

Recruiting the portal is significantly different then recruiting high schoolers when it comes to "stealth" mode. Probably the biggest thing is the expedited timeline. In previous recruiting cycles, players may have been in contact with a staff for 1 year + which gives them plenty of time t...

New England Football Journal was at the practice this past weekend. Although the weather wasn't the best, they had a few clips along with interviews with a few guys like AJ Pena, Buchanan etc. They also had an interview with Coach Fleming.

Count me in the team House camp. Without a true PG and playing 1/2 the year as the #1 target for a defense, he managed to be a pretty efficient scorer jumping up a level from what he was used to. 14 ppg in the A10 isn't nothing. Nice to have a guy capable of going off at any point. 1 year left I th...

With Zek entering the transfer portal, it opens up another scholarship So that's at least 7 new players next year and I'd bet it gets to 9 or 10.......ridiculous. Was listening to a podcast earlier today. They said a head coach said the ideal roster construction this year would be to take an 11 man...

Allen Betrand named MEAC 6th man of the year after averaging 11 points for 21 win Norfolk State. I know he is well traveled, but happy to see him have success this year. Norfolk St consistently one of the best low majors in America. Dana Tate had a pretty successful conclusion to his playing days t...

William and Mary are moving on from Dane Fischer. Would imagine William and Mary alum David Cox would at least get a look. Multiple years as a High Major assistant, and a record that sits above .500 with URI in a competitive A-10. He still has a great reputation in the DC area, and has worked toward...

Spring practice started up earlier this week. Will be interesting to hear if any information starts to leak out about how things are going etc.

This off season will be interesting. In his first off season you expect some turnover. But what will happen this off season. Will guys choose to leave? Will he tell guys that minutes wont really be available for them next year, almost forcing them out? I would think we would have had an easy go las...

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Certainly wishing him the best.

Zek looks like he wants to score. Keep that going boy. If this game gets him out of his funk, Green being out may be a blessing in disguise. I also thought Weston looked good on both ends. Catching up on the thread from last night as I missed the first half. I believe it was Jimmy Patsos doing the ...

I don't see either of the transfers pushing Farrell. That's interesting. You are usually pretty plugged in, so I'm sure you aren't just making it up/throwing it out there. I go back to Dabo's quote about don't transfer to be the back up when you are the back up here. If Farrell is head and shoulder...

How was Baron's reception when the Rams first went to Olean? To an extent it was a similar situation, leaving his home state (and alma mater!) to go coach a different school in the same conference. Big difference, we all couldn’t wait for Baron to get out. He’ll, I offered to help him pack. I was t...

I haven't read through everything, but there isn't any discuss of him coming here, is there?
Didn't I read that he was leaving to pursue professional opportunities?

Not sure where to put it- Per Pete Thamel Secondary Coach Brandon Napolean is moving to Jacksonville State. He had recently joined the staff last year from Sacred Heart (with no inside information I wonder if he was the source of our pipeline from SHU). Seems like a real motivated guy with a bright ...

If you have the time, listening to Archie's and Tammi's post game pressers were like night and day. Tammi sounds like, no matter what's happening, she has a plan. Arch just seems totally bewildered right now... Yeah, well, after the last game, I said if he was that bewildered, and has no clue as to...

I would think we would sign another QB after losing both Hill and Nored. It doesn't necessarily mean the staff doesn't think one of our guys isn't ready to take the reigns. Right now it appears the starting QB would be a battle between Farrell who came from V Tech and the transfer from SCSU Jackson ...

Someone said, in the post game presser, that Archie looked like he had no answers as to how to fix this team. I don't watch the pressers, so I am going by what I read here. If that really is the case, and he has no answers, step down. Take a stress leave or declare you have covid or something, and ...

Add another one from Sacred Heart. Running back Malik Grant. Seems like a solid addition who should be able to contribute right away.

To be fair... did you get a chance to see any of the game? The stadium has a BEAUTIFUL backdrop with the mountains just beyond the stadium. With the snow, it looked incredible.

Thanks for sharing. Always good to add some veteran experience on the defensive side of the ball.

Losing at home to Brown in year 2 of the regime of the highest paid coach in program history is not acceptable. This staff is well compensated and has been given all the resources (incl new practice facility) it needs to compete. I gave Archie a lot of leeway last year and have been more patient th...

Often times teams will receive a limited number of guest tickets for the players and coaches. Typically 2-4 tickets per player/coach that will be located in the area behind the bench. If schools receive additional tickets, this is when they may typically be in the top of the gym/arena. (Ohio State v...

I didn’t see the game, but did we really not spike the ball and had time to do it? Can confirm. We screwed the pooch Again we screwed the pooch. Enough with being satisfied with winning seasons.

I haven't read through the entire thread... With that said, it's hard to compare anyone to Hurley and the success that he had here.

Musselman talking about what Makhi did right. Can be construed that Makhi has done the opposite in the past. Makhi will either be in the starting line up or buried at the far end of the bench when SEC Conference play starts. " This was Khi's best game," Musselman said. "This was Khi'...

I don't have the stats in front of me, so I may be wrong... I think in a few of those games, we got into an early hole, and ended up getting away from the running game.

Because Mckenzie has been fantastic.
I feel like once they are playing from behind, they have a tendency to feel like they have to throw the ball. With the lead, they are able to lean on Mckenzie more. Defense has to step up and get a stop.
