Matt A's replacement speculation

[megamanxzero35]

Lol...no. just needs a release from the LOI.

Well that's obvious.

All due respect to Matt, but Otz is a better coach in virtually every aspect of coaching. This would be a huge net gain for ISU.

Think about this, had Matt stayed at ISU, and then missed on Diallo, how many would be on here calling for him to be fired? I bet quite a few.

 

[RustShack]

Did Otz recruit Niang? Could just be bitter that he went back on his word and left.

 

[Scott34]

Ok so what did I miss with the whole Georgesfan and Otz thing?

 

[Cydkar]

Won't happen but ifBarrett Perry could recruit a lot of talent to a JUCO in Ottumwa, IA it would be interesting to see what he could do on a big stage. Again...he recruited to Ottumwa...have you been to Ottumwa?

Kids don't go to jucos for the town. Hills is one of the top juco programs in the country.

In all honesty I would love to see Wayne Morgan return. Hell of a recruiter and had a pretty good zone defense.

oh. My. God.

I still don't understand the Otz love. I really hope he gets the GB job.

I know this...I grew up in the Ottumwa area and have watched many D1 players in the Hellyer Center. (Including Hogue and McKay before most 'Clone fan were aware.) My point is this, Hills plays fast basketball and has to reload every 2 yrs...not unlike us with xfers. If you have a guy that can think with the urgency of a 2yr window and back that with the skill set that CFH can give, it just might work. Perry wouldn't be the first Hills HC to join the bench at Iowa State either.

Was TJ the one we got rid of due to recruiting violations?

Still think TJ gets our head gig whenever Freddie leaves. Maybe they give him a coach in waiting title and double his pay?

 

[Luth4Cy]

Leonard Perry. And with a decent amount of the recruiting success being attributed to Fred, I'd actually rather have a defensive minded coach than an Xs and Os guy.

Ding ding ding.

 

[clone11]

Ding ding ding.

Minus the title (at least publicly)

Ding ding ding.

Coach in waiting for a 42 year old, I have officially heard it all. NBA speculation or not that would never happen

Very few

 

[Hayes30]

oh. My. God.

I'm serious the guy could recruit. We lost our east coast recruiter and no one recruited the east coast like Wayne.

If Fred plans on leaving in the next 5 years, I think TJ would accept this. If we can pay TJ more than what possibly UW-GB may offer then I think we get TJ back. Getting paid more being an assistant and recruiter than a stressful head coaching job.
