That list is pretty underwhelming.

My thoughts as well hopefully better candidates emerge

What is with GoLocalProv and the Pitino family?

If leading boosters have the younger Pitino as their leading candidate we are screwed

[rambone 78]

If we can't get Archie that list makes sense

What does “Pitino emerging as the leading candidate” mean? Says who other than the writer?

[STC]

I agree with those that say this list is fairly underwhelming. I like Boals, but I don't think he's leaving his alma mater to rebuild URI when John Groce and Jim Christian have shown that you can get to a P5 from Ohio U. So, operating as if this is "the list", there are really only three guys I'd want to take a serious look at: Becker, Grasso, Langel.

John Becker, Vermont
Jared Grasso, Bryant
Jeff Boals, Ohio
Shaheed Holloway, St Peters
Bashir Mason, Wagner
Matt Langel, Colgate
King Rice, Monmouth
Robert Jones, Norfolk State
James Jones, Yale

I think a booster has the ear of someone with golocal

I really hope there is more to the list than just these guys. I would probably take Langel from this list, but wouldn’t feel great about that. None of these guys seem to have any recruiting power or connections.

Can't be true

That would be super dumb

How do you know about these guys' recruiting power or connections? They're are at mid-to-lower level Division One schools. Should 4-5 star recruits be choosing St. Peters over Syracuse and Rutgers? Did the great Rick Pitino have great recruits when he started at BU? Jay Wright at Hofstra? Steve Piekell at Stony Brook?

Becker has some baggage with the sexual assault stuff going on up at UVM. Not sure why we would want to invite that sort of negative press

And it’s getting worse with protests recently. He may want to get out of dodge.

I still want an individual with HC experience, period. I have said no OJT for Rhody in this cycle. If this is an up and coming HC elsewhere that does well here and moves on, I can deal with that. Meaning we had some level of success. Going to lay low, watch the process play out. Thanks Thorr……..

You can cross Rick and Hurley's name off.
Weird to see them mentioned and not Archie.

Hopefully Skerry isn't on the short list.

The others I can understand and would add Langel.

I would take Dennis Gates in a heartbeat but his next spot will be higher than URI.

[Brian Forster]

Gregg Marshall
Roland Fiore
Scott Davenport
Aaron Thomas
Jim Crutchfield
Joe Gallo
Kyle Boddington

Give them a call. All proven successes.

You are actually lumping Gregg Marshall's name with those others on your list

I heard Rob Jones's name mentioned if Mooney is let go at Richmond.

I agree on making a phone call to Schmidt

[Rhodymob05]

Can’t hurt right?

[KevanBoyles]

I could live Pitino. WTF, it’s Rhode Island. Why is this a problem. It baffles my mind. We should play to our strengths. Do you want to win or not?

I’ve seen Gates name associated with the Georgia opening.

He spent a lot of years close by, where he was the top recruiter at Florida State.

[KevanBoyles]

Let’s be nice and play by the rules. Whatever they may be at the moment. Right. F that. I want to win.

[KevanBoyles]

I’m looking for a home run. Not mediocrity. Please preface all my future comments with this thought.

[Rhody72]

I think Dave Bliss is available.

Ah this is it.

There’s been plenty before, but this takes the cake.

This is the post where I’m finally convinced you’re 100000% just a troll, who doesn’t want to provide any substance to the board, and just wants to rile everyone up.

[steviep123]

I think R72 was being facetious with that one.

Steve Wojciechowski. Hearing rumblings.

Can't pronounce his name, let alone spell it. Plus I think I read somewhere he fucked his brother's ex-wife.

Richard Pitino being mentioned

I saw this mentioned in another post that there was an article on go local prov about this, which IMO has no credibility. But BAR, have you talked to someone or heard from someone that there is credibility to Richard?

First of all we could do worse but secondly he certainly not a guy you should zero in on there is a lot of room to reach much much higher. My question would be is how tight is friendly is Ryan with Sr?

[giovanni]

Baron Jr & Tyson we're mentioned by Goodman as possible assistants for whoever the new coach is. Like others have said just get the qualified candidates if they happen to be URI grads that's great. But how about Preston? When is his ban from coaching up? He's still local and a proven recruiter who needs to brand his name again

No Gio, just posted that from the GoLocal tweet haven’t heard any whispers about Richard from my sources.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Is Thorr willing to gamble on someone who is likely to embarrass the university at some point?

I hope so!

He has one year left on his "Show-Cause".

I would love to see him as an assistant in 23-24.

golocal I give zero credence to.

UConn loses. Gives Thorr a couple of days to negotiate with Kimani Young.

you were on the Luke Murray train and then changed it to the Kimani Young one…is that based on his brief 2 minute interim work as HC vs Nova? How did he jump Luke in your mind? He wasn’t even mentioned here once before that Nova game.
