Uhhh...Dixon to UCLA rumor/ news

[Hornedfrog431]

if dixon leaves you don't need to rush.

you need to make the right hire and those kids are already signed so they aren't going to re-open their recruitments

They will be let out of their loi it happens everywhere

 

[Hornedfrog431]

Since they're not highly rated QBs who want to transfer to Ohio St then I doubt they would get immediate eligibility.

The incoming recruits not current players

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Since it is out there now I can just tell you Noi is gone

Already was pretty sure of that one.

I was making a joke about the NCAA, not giving deathly serious analysis.

Shouldn't let them out if they are going to UCLA.

Jaylen Fisher to UCLA.

My top realistic candidates if Dixon goes

1. Craig Smith, Utah State

2. Mark Schmidt, St. Bonaventure

3. Casey Alexander, Lipscomb

4. Brian Wardle, Bradley

Problem is that there isn't a strong crop of realistic non-retread mid major coaching candidates out there right now. Might even have to dip into the assistant coach waters or try to pick off a power conference coach.

I would hope we would look at Casey Alexander of Lipscomb. Cross would be nice and I think Ryan Miller is ready as well.

All of these options make me want to vomit.

Dixon is scheissing his own alma mater. I am honestly in disbelief.

Is Dave Bliss available?

Already was pretty sure of that one.

May I ask why? What do people know about Noi. Not nba ready, not europe ready. Why?

With gun in hand.....

I can't pretend to have a great amount of knowledge of all the available coaches throughout college basketball to know how good or bad any of them would be here, but your second paragraph is spot on.

 

[Francis Xav]

I gotta say, even though this move is kinda rough on us, if a blue blood comes calling, 95% if coaches are gone.

Doesn’t matter if they are signed, if they want to re-open they will and probably will be eligible immediately wherever they go.

great, so why rush the hire?

if dixon is leaving, if noi is leaving which i suspect would lead to lat following, if bane is leaving, and the recruiting class is in jeopardy you need to find the right guy to build a program and not someone to keep a few kids

that is the difference here to me. dixon won games, but right now there are big holes in this program even if he stays, bane stays, noi stays, and even with the 3 recruits there are big roster holes.

tcu is in a bind because as we speak half of dixon's first three classes are gone. whomever coaches here next year will have to deal with that be it jamie or the next coach.

you need someone who can build a program and that is the first priority and not rushing to keep 3 kids who as we have seen could possibly be gone faster than many thought.

My main issue with Casey Alexander is he runs a gimmick style offense that I am not sure would be cut out to win championships in the Big 12.

I think Craig Smith is by far and away the best realistic candidate we can get from the mid major ranks, look at how South Dakota did before and after his tenure and he took Utah State to the MWC regular season and conference tournament title in his first year. The guy can coach.

Have you watched? Not trying to be a jerk. But really.

 

[LoudFrog]

With all of the transfers, we will have a hard time staying eligible for postseason in the coming years. What is the rule for amount of graduates that we need in order to remain eligible for postseason?

I am in no sense, shape, or form a "troll." You are incredibly feeble minded if you consider anyone who does not 100% see eye to eye with you is a troll. Enjoy playing fortnite in your mom's basement for the rest of the day.

Sick burn.

if dixon does leave for ucla it is possible to make the case that jamie inherited a better roster from trent johnson than dixon would leave for the coach that would follow him.

What about Ryan Miller or Scott Cross? We know Miller can recruit. Apparently Cross can coach.
