Interesting how negative the tone is about Matt. He's a legend on this board, but ISU fans' thoughts on him range from useless to okay/solid.

"He has signed 2 HS recruits since he has been here. Sledge and Okoro. Sledge now plays DII ball and Okoro now averages 2 points in 7 minutes for the worst team in the Big 10. How in the hell does that equate to a top notch college recruiter? He hasn't beat out any schools for any recruit since he has been at ISU. Not one."

I think we are hyping him too much on our end, but I also think he's better than they give him credit for.

It is my impression that Matt played a big role in transfers at ISU, perhaps the best college in country playing that game. I think he will be a fine addition, but agree sometimes the truth is in the middle.
 
Matt A is on board it appears & Pinkney is very likely from my vantage point.
Who knows, maybe part of equation will be very clear at press conference Wednesday & the scramble to bring in some new kids & secure Sampson., etc. kicks in gear. Exciting & productive times ahead.
 
Man I'd love to get Pecora on the staff. Guy with plenty of Head coaching and recruiting experience in this area and from all accounts is a great guy. A perfect fit for a first year HC IMO.

Don't think he will be.

Found it interesting that he just started following Marcus Lovett on Twitter.

Also he just started following one of ISU players, a Greek big man who played little this season. Connection to Papagiannis, the Greek kid SJU has been looking at, nothing or something? Too much time on my hands, :)

Matt & Slice on the same staff along with Pinckney teaching the big men and Mullin tutoring the guards and forwards.

Christmas in March!!!!

Wake us all up, this has to be a dream.

Agree here, but let's remember, he's still a very young recruiter. He's only a 2007 grad. His best signings and recruitments are likely ahead of him. The fact that he's got such a big role recruiting at his age says something, and he's had s significant role bringing talent to ISU. Couple that with his love for SJU and I think it's a very good combo because we are going to get the best out of him with his best days ahead. Just a good fit.

Certainly realize his age & experience level. Not anointing him, just high on his development under Chris.
 
Imagine how exciting it must be for Matt A to have Chris Mullin call offer you a job at your alma mater.
 
Matt A helped ISU land a kid from the Greek national team...

U18 national team. Regardless it'd be nice if he kept that Greek momentum in securing Papagiannis(who is better than the Iowa State kid).
 
Time to pony up?

@jimbaumbach: Kentucky assistant Barry Rohrssen's contract, obtained by Newsday, runs thru 6/2016. Pays $375k, but no buyout. Just needs Cal's permission.

@jimbaumbach: I shouldn't even term it as Cal's permission. Contract simply states Rohrssen agrees to not pursue job elsewhere without telling Cal first.

Was Keady in that ballpark money wise?
 
@JPPelzman: Even with Abdelmassih in the fold, I'm told Slice Rohrssen still in play. #sjubb
 
I know many here don't believe this guy, but JayOn saying that Mullin will be keeping one guy from Lavin's staff and that Lavin seems to have the ASU job.

He is probably getting both of those from Lavin, which we know means they are probably not 100% truthful. Lavin always puts a positive spin on things.
 
How many assistants do college coaches have and which would be a good candidate from Lavin's squad?
