No, I must have misremembered...McKnight signed on Thursday of the following week.

:wideeyed:
As far as I remember, McKnight and Godfrey pretty much committed when they were here that weekend. So I think we all thought/knew that they were coming before the news broke about McDermott on Saturday night and Sunday. After McDermott left on Monday, they obviously didn't sign, but did after Hoiberg was hired. I count them as McDermott guys. I remember thinking that McDermott had had one of his best recruiting weekends when all the **** was hitting the fan.
And kg as far as the sly comments about TJ being the face of the program and the one that is really in charge, I think I speak for a few people when I say thanks for bringing this to light. Good to know that since TJ is the brains behind the program that it was clearly not his fault that things went bad the last several years. It doesn't make McDermott look any better when you say that he had practically the best assistant in the entire world working for him and things STILL didn't work out.
It does seem to me that you are trying to tell us that he isn't all that happy with his behind the scenes role, etc. It does no one any good to hint around at this crap. Just like it did no good to do the same type of thing with McDermott.
As far as Grayer goes, I am disappointed. It was crappy timing that no one could help that he was ever hired. But that was just bad luck. I don't like the timing of the whole thing and I wish he would have stayed for the year. I guess I could have kind of seen him getting an assistant job when TJ left (which if you read between some lines on here, he has one foot out the door anyway) or when Lutz left.
