Why didn’t you post the instagram link? I can’t find Ty on Instagram. Stories usually aren’t on Instagram. There isn’t a story on Twitter. I don’t think anyone thought it was a random happening. Ty was with Fatts all the time on Friday. I even ran into the two of them sitting in the concourse after...

Those of you that are on Instagram might want to take a look at Boswell's story. This decision coming today was no random happening. Great work by our staff to keep great communication with players and their families! What’s his IG name? Coach_tyron And Instagram stories don't have links to my know...

How many positions does the 425K staff salary pool pertain to? It seems some are just assuming it covers the three "coach" positions. Are the directors, coordinators, and Athletic trainer not part of this pool? The list below from the gorhody site lists the following ten staff positions l...

Ty will be below 150k definitely. Somewhere around 100k. If they brought in Giannini (former LaSalle HC) for Xs and Os, he could take less be ause he is still being paid by LaSalle. It wiukd be a solution for a couple of years. Based on what exactly? He already was at $115,000 and will probably be ...

Next step is putting a staff together. It will be interesting to see who the other two assistants and DBO are. I wonder if TJ (Buchanan) has a shot at DBO and if TJ(Sorrentine) will be hired as an assistant. If so, it's going to be very confusing here with two TJs... From the language of the contra...

From Rhody83 on the Cox thread. Fatts is staying! He was the first player interviewed. Joe from NBC10 asked him. Fatts response can be seen on Joe’s tweet. He explain his like for Dan but said he is in for Rhody. I ran into Fatts and Ty on the concourse afterwards. He is staying. Cox and Fatts were...

End of college sports if they do this. Complete chaos. Every player in the country will essentially be a free agent every year. You will have teams with 13 different players every season. The disparity between the top 5-6 programs in the country and everyone else will be exacerbated to the point of...

Also could have been he saw himself as better than Fatts when he committed. After watching the season unfold that may have changed. He also could have just recently received interest from a school with a better opportunity for him. All speculation, but after reading his mother's blog, you know this ...

They both went there and actually know each other well.

I believe Fatts and Harris would go to UConn and 5 or 6 others, maybe more, would go elsewhere. Yea Hurley would have to run some people off to make room for SIX transfers lol I bet some of our guys would try to transfer up to a P5 and maybe some of the recruits also. Wherever they'd go, it surely ...

Dre3000

legit question: is there an NCAA limit as to how many assistant coaches you can have? Well all know money is no issue at UConn 3, but you can have a large staff made up of creative titles (special assistant to the coach, director of player development etc). But in order to be on the court coaching ...

CJ Keyser back on the market, not sure if there'd be any interest in either side, but he's definitely from an area we've hit hard lately.

If URI decided they did want Cox, is it a slam-dunk they'd agree on terms right away? years/$$? There's been a wide range of speculation here on this forum about what he should get...what if URI is offering the low end of that and he wants the high end? Is it automatic that they agree? Any chance a...

Dre3000

I would like to throw this out for all those that are so locked in with Cox being the clear cut best choice. If Dan had stayed, would Cox be a hot commodity out there right now. I don't believe so. Look no further than Tom Moore. He leaves UCONN to become head coach at Quinnipiac. He has far and aw...

Dre3000

For what it's worth, I had also heard there were talks with Pitino. Saying there has been no conversations with Pitino is not really saying much. Because just like Hurley, Pitino is letting his agent have those discussions. So based on what I had heard I actually do believe SOME of Jersey Joe's sour...

Dre3000

I'm going to dust off the old Ouija board and try to find out what other schools wanted Cox as head coach but were scared away by the $150k clause because apparently no one in Sports media decided it was a big enough story to report it and it wasn't even a rumor on social media. The old ways work b...

Dre3000

Not sure if this has been said, but Tyrese Martin, Dana Tate AND Jermaine Harris just tweeted that if Cox isn't hired then they're probably gone. Exact words were "Only name I signed up for" by TM. "No disrespect....but I signed up to play for Coach Cox" by JH. "Behind my b...

How do you recruit players with the head coach leaving in mind?? I thought the whole point of giving head coaches lengthy contracts was to make the recruits confident that the hc would still be there? Is this serious? "Hey but every year we see Hurley's name mentioned with jobs, we know he's g...

Dre3000

Lol. Because he has had so many offers leading up to this year? I would bet decent money that Cox does not get a mid-major or better job in the next four years if Rhody passes. It's amazing the love for Cox here. Again, if his resume was "Dayton assistant coach, spent time at GTown and Rutgers...

Dre3000

^^ That's pretty much a summary of what I have been saying since before Hurley left and have been attacked and called a Grade A Troll for it. So, good luck. This board wants Cox. I'm ok with Cox, with a few reservations, after having had similar hires/promises blow up in our faces. That's apparentl...

Dre3000

As we've discussed exhaustively here, if they hire Cox, it will not be for any one particular recruit. There is value in retaining your roster and a large and high quality recruiting class, obviously, because if you do not have any players then you don't have a team. But only a true imbecile would ...

Dre3000

Next year will be a development year, unless we grab a quality 5th year scorer. Won't be terrible but schedule is tough and lots of freshman to develop. IMO continuity in the staff is important for what is going to happen two years down the road, and beyond. We have the program on an upward traject...

Dre3000

The big difference will be that they won’t be recruiting for a Hurley. Cox has been a good recruiter, but it sure helps when you have a head coach with that last name. From what I hear, the players want Cox to stay. Take that for what it's worth. Cool, thanks. Don’t get me wrong, I want Cox to get ...

Whoever gets the job, I would hope the expectations are at least the NIT next year. So, assuming a full complement of players, I'd say there is enough talent to at least be in a bubble convo by tourney time, we are posting in "NCAA's or Bust!" I'd say NIT would have been the goal even if ...

Detroit just parted ways with their head coach. Possible head gig for Preston?

Dre3000

I don't think you're going to hear about a school's interest in him, or his interest in a school...until it's just about 'done'. And I don't get, or agree with, the idea Harris doesn't come if Pitino does? I'm thinking he'd get here early... You do realize Harris' high school coach played for Cox r...

Dre3000

I would take Pitino as HC for 4 years with Cox as his assistant. Then Cox takes over. Of course if Cox isn't willing then that situation is a no-go. I'm sorry but controversial or not Pitino is a great basketball coach and a great recruiter. I think he would be a huge boost to our program. Somebody...

Dre3000

Interesting candidate except I can't see JT3 trying to compete with Cox (who was on JT3's staff at Georgetown) for the same position.

Crazier things have happened though!

Dre3000

Guys lets not get carried away! Those Uconn players are college aged young adults, out of season on a Friday night! I'm sure no one on our team was drunk last night (sarcasm). This is normal college behavior IMO.

This can't be serious? Doherty is considered a bigger loss than Moore and Youncofski for the record

I don't find that impressive at all. Hurley took who he wanted. It's not like he asked someone and they said no. That didn't happen This actually isn't true... Tell me who said no and I will stand corrected I think for them professionally that's probably not a fair thing to do on a public forum.

Dre3000

So only Moore, Trip, and Eric are leaving? That’s impressive and says A LOT about cox that the rest of the staff wants to stay and work with him. This decision seems easy to me unless coach K wants to come here. I don't find that impressive at all. Hurley took who he wanted. It's not like he asked ...

Of course people are going to contact Thorr. We just offered DH $2 mill a year. Hell, I bet Jim Christian contacted Thorr. Any coach making about $1.5 mill would at least think about a contact. Some coaches are more about family than money... they're just "wired different". Sorry, I had to

FYI... I do not believe Harris ever signed an NLI. There's never mention of it anywhere and he's still listed as a verbal commit on many sites, unlike Adams, Tate and Martin who are listed as signing a NLI.... many top recruits are discouraged from signing NLI's. Could have sworn I heard coaches ta...

Your argument is just as baseless. It's clear to me, like when Baron was here, that if you're personally close you just pay the athletics department lip service.

But why, Bobby was less qualified than Cox. And it's really not even close.

Rambone 78 just basically stated that the fix was in for a long time, that the players are all in on it, that the job would be handed to Cox on a Silver platter and everyone would agree to stay!

Dre, You alluded Hurley to Uconn was in the works for a while (before the season was close to ending). Was that info coming from Moore or Cox during the season? You can spill the beans now.

Face it, any real search typically involves, speculation in the Projo, and other news sources, of who is interested. People applying, sometimes more than 12.

If you think that you are clueless. Dan was p...

There is no need to do a "search." Where are they going to look? They have a list in the top drawer. Start at the top. Presumably they will not have to make more than two calls to fill this job, depending on whether Cox or Oats is first on that list. How is Oats on a 1-2 list? Oats relati...
