I was speaking on recruiting - he's been with Groce for 12+ years or something, he doesn't have a recruiting connection that hasn't already been of use to us. He will have a chance to add to that with his assistant hire(s) -
Groce was 4-0 in MAC championship games and COVID took away his 5th. KD was 3-6 or something like that. Grateful for both but not even close imo
-
We need him to keep Sharron and Eric, or I don't know if I like this move. He isn't bringing his own "guys" - he has the same connections as Groce, and was recruiting the same guys. If we lose these guys, it may be a bit of a rebuild

Sad day
-
They don't even have a message board. What a sad program
-
the pressing question is whether @Illini Zip goes too?
-
It's happening from what I hear.
-
This is the real issue imo. Zips Nation shows out for meaningful games (ie Kent and MAC tourney). Beating EMU by 20 just isn't that interesting anymore. That said, we should still be able to get more than 2K.

Friday home games EMU 1,843 (winter break) Kent 4,847 Umass 2,125 NIU 2,768 Saturday WMU 2,396 Small sample size obviously. I don't see it

It would be nice if any of the large corporations in the area could chip in as well

Donors, and some rebalancing between sports

I'm a Penguins fan. In 2007, they were on the verge of moving to KC before a new arena was finally delivered in Pittsburgh. Not that we're getting an arena out of this, but if Groce leveraged some other jobs to get some extra staff and NIL money, I'll happily deal with the emotional rollercoaster this week
-
If we lose him on a lateral move like this everyone in the university above Groce should be fired. This can't happen
-
These are real sources this time
-
This would very much suck
-
I guess next year isn't gonna be their year either
-
Yes and no. Culture is only going to get us so far. Not that I want the Nick Harney experience again, but we need some dudes
-
There's recovery for this?
-
I believe the Indy Star reported he was expected to be involved. Perhaps I am misremembering but I don't remember any official outlet going as far as "finalist" Tbh, knowing how well JG seems to like it here, I am wondering if this is some posturing for some more commitment to the program.

Come on home
-
There is no drama outside of this board
-
Phew, I guess "Samurai Hoops" and "Halal Higgins" weren't great sources. Who could have guessed
-
If he's truly interested in USF, to me that's disappointing because it signals he just truly wants out. I thought it would be a "perfect job" kind of scenario to pry JG away. That said, it's not like Jon Rothstein or Schefter are reporting this. We're looking at Samurai Hoops and "Higgins Halal" twitter accounts.

USF is in Tampa
