Lots of chipa have to fall in place No prez, no AD, no coach. Which comes first. My friend on the BOT basketball search committee has been helping figure it out for a while. They have a hell of a road....and the school is in a mess. Been months trying to fugure out how to deal with Geno's monetary mess, the pres leaving and how to jive the AD hiring with the coach hiring. Getting a coach was easy as the consensus was Jerrance coming over from Kansas till he decided drugs were more important. Hard to go into a recruit's house and use legality in some states as a defense. It's a mess and time/coaching carousel is not slowing or taking stops for them to get organized

Whether I like him or not, Hurley is smarter than to put himself in that position.

One thing they can't take away from Geno is that he scored more points in High School than LeBron James.

Former Kent football assistant Jim Fleming (now HC at URI) used the same argument Kent did against Geno to win a breach of contract suit against Kent on appeal. http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/index.ssf/2015/04...

Gotta love that.

As a college kid and knowing nothing about SE Ohio high school basketball, I was delighted that I could walk down to the Convo and watch guys like Nate Davis and Dante Jackson play for a few bucks. It was really fun.
