Conner going to UD is not surprising at all. He went to a private catholic school his whole life until he went away to Marshall. He wanted to come back home and play locally. Right now, there really is no comparison between us and the school across town. They have have a better team, in a much better conference. They have better facilities and a much bigger fan base. Most importantly, they have a good NIL situation going on for their basketball program. The centerville kid that went to Furman was much more concerning to me. If we are losing local kids to schools like Furman, we could be in some trouble.
The positive news, if there is any, is that the portal isn’t even closed yet. I read on one of the transfer portal sites that there are currently over 2000 kids that entered the portal so far and less than 25% have found a new home. There are still unsigned JUCO, prep school, and high school kids out there too. The staff still has a lot of good options available. They just need to start getting it done. Quite honestly, if they don’t and we have a disaster of a year next year, I think Clint’s tenure will be very very short and Wright State will end up bringing in a new AD and let them pick their own new coach. Our intermediate AD and entire Mens coaching staff is relying on how well they finish out this class. I’m sure they understand the importance and are working tirelessly on it.

I think there is relevance. DEI is poison to any serious organization. It appears to me that Grant went through the motions of DEI to keep people in the university at bay that like that stuff. So bringing up if Brown is a true believer in DEI or if she put it on the back shelf, is a legit question. This is a basketball board, keep your looney tunes political opinions to yourself and stay on topic. I personally am glad to see Bob go and am looking forward to some new blood. Not to say he's done a bad job necessarily but after being on staff for 30 years, it's time. If you had anything to do with the university in the last decade, you’d know that what they are talking about matters a great deal. The university has made a lot of important personal decision based more on promoting diversity than it has on hiring the most qualified individual. In this specific case, if the university just promotes Brown without even doing a national search it will be based a great deal on promoting a woman to the AD position vs the most qualified candidate. She has absolutely no experience to justify getting the job vs anyone else that has served as a head AD at any other university who has more qualifications for the job. The university has spent a lot time tooting it’s effort to hire and promote people based on diversity.

I can’t remember a more disappointing season than this. We have so much talent but play with so little heart.
