Dayton fans discussing Greer. Not a lot of info. They seem to believe they'll match any UI offer.

Where are they getting that Greer is the top target?

i guess I’ll change my opinions from “shocked” to “mildly surprised”... lol

seems like a decent candidate actually. Just not at all expecting a coach from Dayton.

Part of whatever UI would hypothetically offer comes down to whatever market value JW assigns to someone like Greer. But, assuming UI and UD value him equally, it's hard to imagine being so delusional that you think UD, great program though it is, has the resources to match "any offer" made by UI.

Am I the only one hoping someone donates money for Ubben, we sign a one legged walk on, or get new jerseys just so we can see some fresh news?

Maybe Underwood has decided he only will need two assistant coaches.

Greer feels like a backup plan. Would be hard for me to rate his hire anything better than a B-.

We need a proven P6 recruiter. A lot of risk if Greer can't continue his upward trend.

During our history, we have hired exactly one assistant who had been a proven high level high major recruiter. And he happened to be be between jobs after a failed, somewhat scandal tinged tenure as the head coach at a low / mid major. Candidates with the qualifications of Orlando Antigua are not often readily available.

Here is a glance at some of our other, better, recruiting assistant coaches:

It was a dramatically different different era, but Howie Braun was hired straight out of college. He handled all the recruiting for Doug Mills and Harry Combes from 1937 to 1967.

Jimmy Collins, who played for Lou Henson at New Mexico State, was serving as a probation officer and volunteer elementary school volunteer coach in Chicago when Henson hired him. Collins helped land Lowell Hamilton, Nick Anderson, Kendal Gill, Kenny Battle, Marcus Liberty, Deon Thomas, Kiwane Garris, et al.

Tony Yates was an assistant coach at Cincinnati when Gene Bartow hired him. He helped Bartow and Henson recruit the likes of Audie Matthews, Levi Cobb, Eddie Johnson, the original Mark Smith, Derek Harper, Efrem Winters, Bruce Douglas, and Ken Norman, among others.

Nat Frazier (Nick Weatherspoon, Alvin O'Neal, Billy Morris, Kris Berymon) was an assistant under Harv Schmidt from 1967-1071. He came to us from Delaware State.

Bruce Weber gave Jerrance Howard his first assistant coach job. "Snacks" had been a support staff coach at UK. He also coached by / played for Lon Kruger, Bill Self, and Weber at UI. He is credited with turning recruiting around at UI in 2009.

Reports indicated Rob Judson helped Lon Kruger land Sergio McClain, Marcus Griffin, Frank Williams and Brian Cook. Judson is a UI alum who played for Henson and had been an assistant at Bradley.

Norm Roberts and Billy Gillispie came with Bill Self from Tulsa,

We pried Chin Coleman away from UIC.

Jamall Walker (JCL, Leron Black) followed John Groce from Ohio U. btw, I think Walker is undervalued by fans. He faced stiff competition from a couple head coaches in the St. Louis / Metro East areas and lost a couple commitments with the coaching change.

Ubben just got a 40 million dollar budget approval. Not fresh but positive nonetheless

What ever happened to Nat Frazier? He landed some flat out studs. Yates was well-regarded when Clean Gene hired him. Amazing that Collins went from a probation officer to our best ever Chicago recruiter

I guess he discovered time travel and went back to 1071.
