I was going to give him comment of the year. Still a lot of time left but that was gold. He has a great point might have happened if Nagy was here. Or play very little minutes. I hope our current coaches can land some of these impressive transfers. It feels like last year when we had some intriguing transfers on our list, but we missed out on all of them.

+1 I laughed SIU is going to struggle to fill out a roster though so he may actually get to play against Nagy's wishes. Not sure they can get enough portal guys in to field the 7 man rotation he'll use. He will get pulled after every mistake and Nagy will stomp his foot at him LOL!

Nah, Nagy will refuse to call a timeout, so he can't pull him -- but he will yell at the closest assistant coach.

Jaheim just recommitted from Wright State, following Nagy to SIU Damn. Thought Bere staying on would help us hold onto him since he was the lead recruiter there. Pull to stay closer to home must have been stronger. Closer to home as in same state, yes. Closer....yeah, a whopping 45 miles. :-) 248 miles 293 miles

Closer....yeah, a whopping 45 miles. :-) 248 miles 293 miles I made an assumption that SIU was much closer than WSU but that is a wild stat! Thanks to all for the kind words about my comment. I was actually being kind of serious even though it came across as snarky. I guess there was some truth to it I'm not normally super excited for recruits (because so much can change) but I was legitimately thrilled to have Webber at WSU. In this portal era things can change so much year to year so being a "good loser" with recruiting could actually pay dividends down the road.

Brian Cooley would be the smart choice, I’m afraid WSU will go with the easy choice and promote Brown to AD and Sargent as the next basketball coach just because it will be easier and cheaper to stick with the status quo. I like Sargent but he isn’t a program builder. He does a good job recruiting but he likes to recruit a small group of players each year and does a good job landing a couple of them. He isn’t equipped to refill 1/2 to 3/4 of a roster the way he recruits. I would have liked Cole to be added in Tae Gibbs role. It would have been the next step up the coaching ladder, not a full blown assistant. Cole has absolutely no recruiting experience and more importantly no recruiting connections. Half the battle of recruiting is getting past the gate keepers, which are the high school and AAU coaches. If those guys like you, you have an in with their players. Cole currently brings nothing to the table from that regards. I think Cole will eventually be a good recruiter but it is going to take some time. I wrote the first quote before Clint was hired and the second after Cole was added as our last assistant coach able to recruit off campus. After losing Webber today it is pretty imperative that they both prove me wrong. We now have 5 open scholarships for next year and some glaring holes to fill. The only player Clint has offered a scholarship to since being named head coach decided to attend the worst program in the HL instead of coming to Wright State. Honestly, that was a straight kick to the balls for the program. The staff needs to step up their game big time and start making good additions to the roster for next year.

Well that certainly won't hurt recruiting kids from Alter (or ones currently in the portal from there)

Agree-Nice coach pickup here, would say our chances of getting both kids from Alter in portal have definitely increased. We need both if Sargent can make it happen!

Okay, help me out here. First, who is this guy (all is says is no stranger to the area)? Second, didn't WSU just put out a press release earlier this week announcing the completion of the coaching staff (when Cole G. was added)? So why another announcement now?

I think it mentioned that the staff will be completed with an additional assistant at a later date. This should complete the staff now.
