Interesting timing right in the middle of the Portal being open. Wonder if that's strategic.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have a few commits before then. Evan, Seth Wilson, Okonkwo, and Josiah Harris were all signed before April 15th of their respective transfer year.

That's what I'm thinking, then they'll have players, a style/system, etc. to sell to the audience.

I think Young returns.  I just don't see an offer that we can't match

 

I think Maheffy returns for one year.  Maybe a better offer, but needs to develop his offence and he could do that at Akron.

 

Bowen -?

 

I get a pass of they go to Charleson

 

I believe Marshall lost its PG ... Young could return home on a discount.

It was announced at the time of hiring that the introductory press conference would be at a later date.

 

He was made the head coach like a week before the Final Four and the portal opening. I don't think there is any hidden meaning behind the date. More that they preferred Dustin to focus on filling out his staff, meet with players to see where they stand, and formulate our approach to the portal.
