Blue & Gold Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I'd be excited about Anthony Stewart, Jeff Boals, or Lamont Paris. I think Chris Jent is also an intriguing prospect, but he was passed over by Cleveland State, so... ? Edited March 30, 2017 by Blue & Gold Quote

Blue & Gold Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 They were talking about Terry on 1350 yesterday afternoon. Quote

Anthony Stewart is one of 21 on that list. The Ben Jobe Award is presented annually to the top minority coach in division I men's basketball. 1 Quote

NWAkron Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Candidates for the AKRON JOB - Terry Weligand, Brandon Weems , Jeff Boals , Anthony Stacey, Charles Thompson, Lamont Paris, Chris Jent That list was great. But two of them are really tall. I don't know if I'm ready for that much change. Edited March 30, 2017 by NWAkron Quote
NWAkron Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 I'm holding out hope for John Groce. Why not go all in! Quote

zippy5 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 I'm thinking my first choice would be Paris. He's learned from KD, Bo Ryan, and now Gard. He's had experience in the Big Ten and of course with us for a while. Removed enough from KD to have his own ideas. We could do a lot worse. Quote
zippy5 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 On top of that, I'm assuming he's doing a decent job in Wisconsin as he's been promoted to associate HC, and everyone on their message boards expects him to leave for a HC gig. And as we all know message board posters are the smartest. Quote

Blackburn Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 I do think Groce would be GREAT! Should be our top choice. I'm not so sure that Cleveland State "passed" on Jent. Maybe he didn't apply or maybe he declined. Cant go by what these twitter feeds claim to know. This HighMajorScoop has McFadden for every opening. Buddy system... ... I'm not opposed to him, but c'mon man! Be right once! I'm not opposed to "outside" hire. I think we are all kind of wanting something new. 1 Quote
Blackburn Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Paris would be good too. But going off of memory, didn't he reach out to Bowling Green to leave as Akron assistant to get away from KD and staff? Then got lucky to land with Wisconsin. Correct me if I am wrong. Quote

That would be a plus for me. I really don't want to to see any of the old regime. As for Groce(which is a pipe dream) , the players would at least know he has the ability to get them where they want to be. And I'm so, so happy that Wilson is making this choice and not Scarborough. 2 Quote

Neither one should be making the choice Quote

Blackburn Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 We better not be hiring a Search Firm for this... any word of that? Quote

NWAkron Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 3 minutes ago, Blackburn said: Must have... I think the point was that since KD is gone any previous dispute with him to many of us is irrelevant. Quote
zippy5 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah KD isn't here. Who cares if Paris wanted to leave his staff? Quote
