Good friend told me Boeheim called Ed Kull personally and recommended Adrian Autry.  

Either, Boeheim plans to coach at Cuse forever, or he wants to get Autry some HC experience to be potential successor or he doesn't want him to fill his spot.

Talking to a colleague who I recently found out went to Fordham, as my daughter will be heading there in Sept.

He said the same thing posted earlier by Otis, that they've historically been tight on keeping admissions standards within reason of their profile and if they don't bend there, it doesn't matter who they bring in to coach or how much other support they put to program, they'll struggle to get out of A10 basement more often than not.  However, other schools like Davidson, seem to do OK and don't settle on academic profile of the recruit too much.

Curious to see how Ed Kull moves along here.

Curious to see how Ed Kull moves along here.                     Interesting post on Fordham Academics .  It's always been a pretty highly rated school but , ranks below Gtiwn , BC , Marquette , on School Rankings .. Hard to understand how these other Jesuit schools get kids admitted and not Fordham .  Make no mistake Fordham has always been a great school . The Jesuits don't seem to share the Vincentians  Mission of admitting a lot of kids who need a break , Academically or Finanancially .

I'd much rather live in Santa Fe but that's probably a 55-mile commute each way, and I'm not even sure how much the gig pays, but I've always thought the New Mexico job was a good one. Probably because of the fan support.

I remember when Fran F was there they had an assortment of psychotic websites ranting on and on about him and the team.

Rumor Frank Martin might be interested because his buddy is the A.D.
No suprise that he's denying it at this point

For many years, Cardinal Hayes could not get kids accepted to Fordham, although they did have  a few seniors accepted to Boston College. Go figure.

That said, through the intervention of a member of the Hayes Board of Trustees (who is an influencial Fordham alumnus) we have had 10 young men from the Hayes Class of 2019 accepted to Rose Hill with great financial packages.
 
 
Financial packages have been a problem at Fordham for a long time !  The Vincentian Mission has always been to provide a chance to the needy . Proud of my alma mater !!!!!!!!

Share a quick story about how their own stubborness and sanctimony can hurt them.  Mario Gabelli was a famous grad.  Ended up making a fortune in the market and is the founder of Gabelli Funds.  Worth a fortune.  His kid applied to Fordham and expected to get in as a legacy.  Except even with a looming big donation Fordham denied admissions because the kid did not quite meet academic requirement.  That pissed off Mario he took his kid and his donation to Boston College.  And they did not talk for years.  Eventually they kissed and made up, Gabelli made a huge donation and the business school of which I am a grad is now officially the Gabelli School of Business and there is a recent building on campus that was re-done for the school with largely his money.

I can see him wanting to leave because it's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, and he might be growing stale. But he makes $3 million there, and Weir was making $775,000. I guess he'd get six years from UNM, and he probably doesn't have six years left at South Carolina at his curret win rate. Just wondering how much UNM would have to bump the salary to lure him.
 
Funny, I ran into a guy (a lawyer in NY) at the Jupiter ballpark a couple of days ago with a Fordham shirt on. Told him the Post had a story about the AD and BB coach openings. He spent 10 minutes telling me his problems and other Baseball players children with admissons either denying or wait listing the applicants. All top notched students and mostly all with ties to the Bronx. He use to throw a baseball dinner for the team and baseball alumns and raise $25,000 to boot for the school. The baseball alums started to bail after their kids couldn't get and now no dinner. Also the Gabnelli (sp?) story. After his daughter got wait listed she turned to her other schoold which all accepted her and enrolled at BC. He gave them 50 million. Was in the papers (in some sort) and the president was pissed that he gave money to BC and not Fordham. Anyway contact was made between them and the Prez apoogized and of course used the "why didn't you tell me" line. They patched things up somewhat and he then gave Fordham 25 million. If he told me one story, he told me 5 or 6.

I know this is a little off topic, but JJJ, thanks for all you did to get those Hayes graduates accepted into Fordham. I hope this is the beginning of a trend for Hayes. Well done!
 
Good coach;

Sources: Albany has parted ways with Will Brown. Won five America East titles in 20 years.

Wow
 
Jerry Carino;

Dempsey out;

This just in: I’m told Binghamton is elevating assistant Levell Sanders, a former Seton Hall star, to interim head coach for the next year. School must conduct a search per state regs, but Sanders certainly could become permanent. Sanders was a successful head coach in Europe.

no need to feel sorry for Will Brown.  I am told he is vested in the NYS Retirement System.  

it was reported his base salary was $350,000.  With 20 years in the system he is in line to receive a guaranteed $175,000+/-  every year of his life after age 55.

I went to Binghamton and am familiar with their basketball program which has really struggled after their one NCAA tournament bid which seems like a long time ago. The problems that occurred during and after that year were tough to overcome. It set the program back to square one. Dempsey did a good job recruiting some great student athletes unlike Albany and isn't a bad coach. Things never clicked and the program never took advantage of the wonderful facilities which have now been built at UMBC and will soon at UVM and Maine. Wishing Sanders good luck. Queens kid.
