FIFYI think it is obvious by now that money is not everything to the coaches. Chin, OA and CY made a mistake not accepting offers to coach at Illinois. Eugene, Lexington, Tallahassee, Spokane, etc. are not Champaign.
Tuscaloosa I would say is worst than Champaign (ie Chicago and St Louis vicinity). I learned a long time ago that it is not the landscape that matters ...I think it is obvious by now that money is not everything to the coaches. Chin, OA and CY would have all made more at Illinois. Champaign is not Eugene, Lexington , Tallahassee, Spokane, etc.
Have been to all those places and other than Eugene I would prefer Champaign.I think it is obvious by now that money is not everything to the coaches. Chin, OA and CY would have all made more at Illinois. Champaign is not Eugene, Lexington , Tallahassee, Spokane,
Legitimate sources you say? You've come to the wrong place.Can someone give an overall update with legitimate sources on CY and Menennga.
I'm too busy to read through it all and try to decipher.
They both out, in, or otherwise?

I think you’re greatly overestimating the newsworthiness of college assistant coach hirings beyond nuts like usI have to wonder about the timing of this. Both being on a Friday afternoon I mean. Big companies, and even the government tend to release bad news on Friday afternoons hoping people don't pay much attention.
imagine BU reading these threads and shaking his head with a disapproving smirkI

Speak for yourself. I’m here for the GIFs and puns.
Or did he just run out of LSD?
Out of gifs?
I think Alexander will be at least as good as Chin at recruiting.My guess (and I know nothing) is that they positions are viewed as different skill sets. BU is looking for a top recruiter to replace OA. Alexander, though thought to be capable of recruiting, would be brought in to replace the skills that Gentry is best known for. JHWAO.
Completely expected. Wait until we replace Gentry to see the whole picture.Huge letdown
Sign me up for that.I think Alexander will be at least as good as Chin at recruiting.
It doesn't prevent Young, or anyone, from signing.Yes but he's not "YOUNG!?"
Agreed. I think this was a strategic move to counter the Gentry departure. It gives BU time to finalize his second big hire. Hopefully soon.I understand the thought. Also, I don't think that we wanted to be without 2 ACs very long. Since Gentry was being announced, almost simultaneously, I am less worried about the timing. From all accounts, this should be a solid replacement for someone that brought value to the team.
The character flaw statement had no proven merit. Plain and simple, the timing was awful, but here are two guys returning to former locations and one trying to make a huge jump (on Ayo's tail).Tell me, how would fixing this "character flaw" prevent Kentucky (the all-time winningest program) and Gonzaga (maybe the winningest program over the last 20 years) from recruiting your coaches?
If it gets us more #1 seeds, I'd say get more "character flaws."
