Official statement from Mr. Williams: http://www.gozips.com/sports/mbkb/2016-17/releases/20170327x5mw8b

If Crean couldn't win at Indiana I'm not sure he could at Akron.

Buzz Williams is at Va Tech. Unless you are talking about somebody else.

Boals is only getting paid like 250k right now.

Chris Jent?

Anyone have a clue what KD's buyout is? That's one way we can benefit from this...some....I guess.

Thats a good suggestion.

Sad day in Zips nation, but we might as well get this one started. Who do you want to target? A name I threw out in the other thread was John Groce. Rick McFadden seems like an obvious name to throw in as well, but honestly if he wasn't good enough for Cleveland State or YSU, not sure why he would be good enough for us. I'm not a die hard CBB fan so I'm not all that aware of up and comers in other smaller conferences. Time to prove your worth, Larry.

crap....Is John Groce still available?

Ball State's coach was too good for Duquesne but Keith Dambrot isnt?

It's worth noting that that report could be inaccurate. Their coaching search has been a mess. http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/news/duquesne-basketball-coaching-carousel-king-rice-dane-fife-monmouth-michigan-state-ncaa/cct156y5scx3151087916s8cp

2017 player that is uncommitted this late? Seems odd. When does he have to sign by? Clear Josh Williams replacement offer.

what in the hell can Kentucky possibly spend 19 million on?

Avis Commack pick 6 vs TN? Quentin Hines long TD run vs TN? Justin March had the pick 6 vs UM, but he has been mentioned. Natson had the big play vs Wisconsin, but he's been mentioned. MTB had a big TD vs Pitt. Hundley had a hell of a game at Pitt.

Yes he was. Transferred to AZ then quit because Ianello killed his passion for the game, IIRC.

Dayton's arena is so horrible that the NCAA decides to play the 'first four' games there every season

Tough, and nice idea. My 10 (in order): Jatavis Brown Jamal Marcus Jojo Natson Jerome Lane Dalton Williams Justin March Jarrod Pughsley Thomas Woodson DeAndre Scott Jawon Chisholm/Zach D’Orazio I know the list seems mostly filled with recent players, but that probably also make sense considering the program couldn't have been in worse shape when he got here. I have trouble separating Chis/D'Orazio. I think both deserved to be mentioned. Probably add Warren Ball to the list after this season (fingers crossed).

Link? Can't find anything about that.

I think its Pughsley.

He will be a new addition as well, correct?

Random thing I was thinking about while we are on the topic of coaching. Obviously this is just a hypothetical to stir up discussion. Anyone think its worth it to keep KD as long as we can no matter the circumstances just for the fact that there might be a 1 percent chance we land either of Lebron's sons? I have to imagine both will be big time recruits. Bron Jr. already has offers from Kentucky and Duke. The unique circumstances could give us a chance and would most likely mean season(s) we would cherish forever.

No, but Dayton now is as Indiana is hiring Archie Miller.

I agree. We do seem to be brushing it off because he has declined before and some recent developments make it seem as if not all is great in Zip basketball land. So I assume you think McFadden is essentially the coach in waiting? Don't know why we shouldn't explore all options though and "scrambling" seems like hyperbole as it isn't late in the game.

I've finally had enough of this joke of reporting from the local newspaper and sent a lengthy email letting making my displeasure known to the managing editor, Darrin Werbeck, I'd encourage others to do the same if you truly want better. His email is dwerbeck@thebeaconjournal.com. Go out and enjoy he beautiful day first, though Additionally, I did some more thinking on what we can do. I've made a little mention of this before, but if the powers that be would be interested in getting a student to intern as Zipsnation's beat reporter (I feel like this could be done for free or very cheap pay wise), I would be happy to do whatever I can to help in just about every way. Also, I was thinking about how it was noted on here before that the new guys in charge at UA will happily give out press passes to blogging sites (Hustlebelt, and even Zipsnation for Dr.Z and Cap'n a few times I believe). I was wondering if there is any way to have this arranged so die-hards like Keener, Johnnzip, etc could obtain the credentials for whatever practice/event/etc they want to attend. They would obviously bring great insight back to the board.
