Around the Big East

Have some connected Hall fans who aren’t to sure about that. I still think he would have landed there regardless of the SPU run. But they tell me there was some fraying between the school and Holloway. Some of it concerned Holloway getting in trouble for tampering with a kid who transferred there from Cuse, or something like that.

Taurean Thompson who only appeared in a handful of games there?

Yes if I remember correctly Holloway was suspended for contacting him and his family while he was enrolled at SU. Dirty business

Correct - here is summary:

NCAA sanctions Seton Hall, former coach Shaheen Holloway, for tampering with Taurean Thompson

Thompson was a freshman at SU when his mother and Holloway exchanged more than 240 phone calls; NCAA prohibits coaches from contacting prospects or their family members when the athlete is enrolled at another school.

Wow, so even after the NCAA told the Seton Hall staff to stop contact with the SU player and his mom, Holloway made 87 more calls, that’s not “dirty business” that’s a dirty coaching staff. No way to soften that up. I guess Willard taught him well. But in the end , it doesn’t seem to matter anymore. If you win, all sins are forgiven, but if you lose, they will be used as grounds for termination.

You have land 4 star recruits if want compete in Big East

 

[paultzman]

You may not like Danny H but he and staff kill it recruiting much like most of the BE staffs. Johnnies are facing a big challenge obviously and hopefully are up for it. The “coach them up” stuff can only do so much imo.

Only game in town, but impressive that PC has 10,000 Season Tickets sold to date.

That's impressive regardless.

As Looie would always tell a new coach….. if you want to compete, go out and get good players. Staff has allot of ground to make up in recruiting capable HS talent. Hopefully they have turned the corner.

U Conn proving again that they should not be playing FB at top level but would be better served playing Monmouth like Georgetown today. Losing to Michigan 46-0 after 3 quarters--cannon fodder. As to leaving Big East--who would have them.

UConn got $1.8M for the game

Can use some of that for ambulances and medical attention, senseless to not move to lesser level of football. Trash program

I said this last year. The CAA would be the best place to park their football team. They would have a lot of East Coast State Schools for rivals. (Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Stony Brook, Albany, Delaware and others. They also have Villanova from the Big East. Maybe they could drag UMASS along as well. They might want to downsize their stadium a little so it's not so quiet.

Or to help with their recruiting budget for hoops. You don’t bring in four 4 star recruits in one class by being cheap.

Nice player, hope he makes a full recovery. After he plays the Johnnies of course.
