Lavin or ...

Hopefully one way or the other this is over soon, so I can concentrate on my Mets falling apart again.

Do we have any more tommy john surgeries over the weekend that I missed ?

With Murphy injured, they may move Flores to second & play Ron Darling at short. Could work.

Nothing beats redmen.com when it comes to post season coaching speculation almost every year the last 15 years or so

My dad has been watching them way longer than me and keeps assuring me this is the year. Lol I'm tempering my expectations with them. It is the mets.

Back on topic, I voted Archie Miller. If he took this job I'd ecstatic.

Also if any of you guys read the JJ Jungle Dave who has been in the hoops biz since graduating college knows Archie Miller and asked him if he would come to SJU and he said no

Whoa. This is NOT what I wanted to hear.

He's wrong only slightly less often than Baldi. I wouldn't put too much stock in it. I like Dave, but put it in context. Some NJ shore kid working for UA walks up to you while you are happily and successfully coaching Dayton at a basketball event in which you are representing Dayton and says "uh, hey bro I'm an SJU alum, we'd love to have you. Any chance you'd leave Dayton for us?" Miller would be a fool to say anything but no.

Bobby Hurley has how many years of head coaching experience? has recruited how many top 50 kids? won how many NCAA tourney games? are you freaking kidding me...He couldn't get an ass coach job at Duke. He is coaching in frozen Buffalo for a reason. Why hasn't K gotten him a job? Why did K take Capel back over Hurley?

And exactly how has his father treated the program through the years?

If your measuring stick for SUNY Buffalo is top 50 players and NCAA wins, you should leave yourself out of any decision.

SUNY Buffalo was a joke of program that had never made a single trip to the NCAA tournament. Bobby, within days of being hired, signed a guard that should be playing in the Big East and the 2014-2015 MAC Player of the Year. He followed it up by signing another Big East caliber guard in 2014 and this year signed a former top 75 (ranked as high as #39--so there is your top 50) recruit and a JUCO SF we could sure use here.

When he calls recruits, he said they don't believe Buffalo is D-1 at first. They wouldn't consider Buffalo if not for him. Buffalo won 14 games the year before Bobby took over and he signed more talent in the first month of taking the job than he inherited. I didn't think he'd do this well this quickly...I really didn't. Next year they are going to be insane.

Marillac with all due respect and believe me I have been reading you on this site for a long time, and I usually find common ground with you. I just don't see what you are saying. Why is it Bobby had to take the hard way to a hc position? Why wasn't he taken over Capel on coach K staff? why did he have to join his brother's staff? why didn't he get a higher profile ass. coach job? don't those questions bother you? If they don't then the lowly Buffalo was the best he could do? That scares the crap out of me. Sure he has two guys that may or may not be able to play in the big east. He needs to be sitting in living rooms against some really skilled coaches. I don't think Hey I am Bobby Hurley and I played for Duke, oh and I turned around SUNY Buffalo is going to turn a kids head.

But the funniest thing thus far is people here are complaining about Lavin and want to replace him with someone that is a very suspect unknown...

Archie Miller would Never, Ever come here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fwiw;

@prepbullseye: OK--let's cut thru the BS--I don't know if Bobby Hurley gets the DePaul job but I DO know he is definitely interested.

How much did Jungle Dave offer Archie? When Pitino coached at Kentucky do you think he said he would love to coach at Louisville. Sometimes things have to play out.

But he is coaching at Louisville and I am sure he didn't express his love for Louisville while at Kentucky. My point being you are not going to express interest in other coaching jobs while in your current position. What was Archie going to say, I'd love to leave Dayton for St. John's. Also other ethical coaches do not comment about other positions that are not vacant. If we have a vacant position and we make an offer and he says no than I will believe it. Until then it doesn't matter. It is just another wild rumor.

If you believe "basketball camp boy" actually asked coach Miller that question you deserve to be a mod there and keep protecting the Baldi troll who resides there.

Yeah that story is bogus!! But that is not why I say he would never, ever come here! He may have a shot at his dream job this season, or most likely next. So he wouldn't come here for a year! He has been waiting for awhile for this

Mets have inquired about ARoid and his availability. Has some SS experience. :evil:

 

[RedfanMd]

Of the choices given, I voted Lavin.

Voted Lavin! I believe that since his first class is done, he will bring in some Big East quality recruits. Pissed at the performance of the Big East in the tournament; we have a ways to go as a conference.

 

[stjohnnie75]

i chose Danny HUrley (other) because while his brother is the sexier choice coming off an ncaa bid, Hurley has built URI from a 5-win team into a top 25 club next year.

in addition theres a lesser chance he is lured away by a big school than Bobby will be (like Duke) when the time comes...

I just can't imagine a guard telling Bobby Hurley no.

We have no problem getting guards!!! What about some bigs???

I also refuse to vote in any poll that doesn't include past sju candidate stalwarts like Pat Kennedy or even the Ghost of Rick Majerus

Even his ghost weighs more than most of our posters.
