In these transition situations, 90% of the time those fears are allayed when the players meet the new coaches.  Most players stay most of the time.  I trust Schaus to hire the right guy to keep the ball rolling. 

Correctomento!  This is a tempest in a teapot.

here's an interesting piece of fan fiction from a Zip dreamer that has Cooper unhappy with OU and wanting to either follow Groce or go NBA. Is the "source" the all knowing Blitz?

I love how he spams it on seemingly every board but this one. He knows it's crap.

Brilliantly stated. I'll add that it's doubly frustrating that these sites carry the veneer of credibility because they often look like sites that produce actual journalism. Getting news from a site like that is like buying a Rolex on Times Square.

Oh, and the "anonymous source"...haha...is Arkley's response to my question on twitter.

Over on the Akron board they seem to be rooting for him to leave and the really think he will. They know they cant beat us with cooper and they dont care if everyone knows apparently. 

Hey, it has to be reputable. He put his name behind his reporting: Mike.

If you can't trust Mike...

Cooper has been unhappy with what's been going on in the program for quite some time, but he's going with the coach who was in charge of the program, with which he's been unhappy for quite some time.

And people wonder why the rest of the MAC think all Ohio fans are whiny cry-babies?? I posted a LEGIT concern and some CORNBALLS CRIED A RIVER..the only player who has directly addressed if he has staying is Mr Offut via twitter,,,DJ Cooper hoped on a plane to Illinois. Now that the whole world is wondering about his plans after I presented the original concern..we can assume that everything hinges on 1.DJ 2.Does Groce want him 3.New Ohio coach. I think things are still up in the air I'm assuming the Cooper family dinner was very interesting this weekend...was Groce there?? Would not surprise me.

He doesnt know whay he's talking about either. Ivo and stevie told woub that they're not going anywhere, Reg said on twitter that hes not going anywhere, dj said on twitter thay hes not going anywhere, ricardo johnson has expressed his hope that we (the cats) meet and beat illinois next year, and, as previously mentioned) walt has said he's not going anywhere.

Quit being such a drama-queen blitzy. If you weren't so consistently wrong, or werent to hyperbolic, or weren't such a jack-you-know-what, youd get mocked less.

I don't mind the posts.....but it pains me to think what a douche you are being. Is that really neccessary to get your points across? I read your posts. You really belong on Ibnews, catspause or several other boards where guys are abusive and silly in order to get noticed. This has been a heck of a board, sullying the waters just tells me some things about your personality. I am happy that you have had DJ at your house. Not going there as Gman, Granny cat and many others I know have had quite a few of the kids at their house on a regular basis yet do not feel compelled to let the fanbase know and have never felt the need to discuss what is discussed in private.

I am not impressed by the information you bring and most of it is questions most of the folks on this board have already PM'ed or discussed or have talked to folks around the program anyway. If you think putting this up here in the most vitriolic way possible is your mission then have at it. I have long liked being here and respected the conversations I have had with the athletes over the years respecting them and their privacy. I think you have done DJ a great disservice and shown great disrespect if he has sat in your dining room and yet you then feel compelled to call him out on a message board. I personally do not do that to my friends and people I like enough to serve dinner and have in my house, maybe your parents raised you different.... .

People hope on planes all the time, mainly that it won't crash.
