I'm down...
Lalalalalalalalalalalala I can't hear you.
I'm still sick about the non-PI call against Pitt.
Congrats to Justin on his new job.
Autry is right where he wants to be. He is a former player there and I doubt wants to go anywhere, let alone to Blacksburg. He was one of the many Greenberg run outs.

We have to think realistically here. I'm betting we won't be hiring a name many of us have heard of before, due to the fact that we are not and have not been a top-tier basketball school. I do trust Whit to make a good hire though, but it will take some serious evaluation of under-the-radar talent.
Why would he leave the first place Big East team for the last place ACC team
Clintwood's own...
How about jay wright? Villanova hc
the thing i most enjoy about this picture is the fact we're playing Louisville, something that won't happen very often with this totally nonsensical ACC scheduling. FIX IT PLEASE!
sorry rant over. good for Hamilton
You say shaka is never gonna happen but $$$$ and coaching in the acc without a huge change to his life is a draw
Short answer is yes. That was a word thrown around a lot this year.
The dent isn't in Cassell, it's in the practice facility and I'm pretty sure Cadarian was the one that went into it. They pushed the bigs pretty hard on rebounding drills, trying to instill some fight into them.
As far as players walking out on a practice, I don't think I ever saw that, but I know Cadarian's locker was cleared out at one point and the team had to come to his rescue to get back on the squad and Marshall had told JJ he was transferring about 2 or 3 weeks ago, so I imagine he was probably one of the others.
JJ seemed to take a morphed form of Seth and and his assistant coach Kanaskie. He really wasn't the same guy like before he was hired. Really not surprising to hear stuff like this.
Maybe it wasn't the right one; maybe if Seth had stayed Dodo, Harrell, and Green could have lit it up
That's the problem that they saw. Along with JJ leaving for a lateral move, there was almost one assistant leaving per year the last 5 or 6 seasons for Seth. Dodo was already leaving no matter what (he and his mother didn't really like Blacksburg) and Green was probably going to transfer if Seth stayed as well, so that just leaves us with Harrell who may not be as progressed as he is right now had he come to Blacksburg.
So while the timing and manner of which the firing occurred was horrendous, it was a necessary move. JJ was a likable guy amount the department, so considering how late the firing was, it's not surprising he is who we ended up with. It wasn't the best situation and I honestly thought he'd get one more year, but now all we can hope for is that Whit has a few tricks up his sleeves and is going to make that home run hire that is going to satisfy fans and one that can field a complete, competitive team next year.
Come on come on come on. GET OPEN.
Thanks!
I know it all comes down to who gets brought in, but I really believe they will stick with their LOI.
For the record, I was not at all serious.
He came in in a tough situation, rebuilding pretty much from scratch, said Lang, the son of former Duke standout Antonio Lang. I was surprised [by the firing] personally. I sat and talked with my dad about it a lot. We knew it was a possibility, but we also kind of thought he would at least have one more year.
That quote is telling, the fact that he knew that JJ probably wasn't going to be his coach his whole career at Tech and still committed shows that he knew what he was getting into and it hasn't bothered him yet.
I agree completely. We need to look like us. Which is why I brought it up. The distance team looked like Oklahoma State out there. Like seriously. The only difference between the two outfits was that the shorts were maroon instead of black, and in a long distance uniform, that is not noticeable at all.
