Jerod Haase received a six-year contract extension from UAB per Jon Rothstein.

We should go after him. UAB is a gonna close. Its ran by the same council of old farts that run Bama.

If Haase is getting $1M at UAB, we might have to pay close to a million to get Prohm. Can we financially do that?

I don't know... all of the reports in the past hour say that Lavin is getting extended.

Hmmm...I've had Hurley pegged for that job for a while now. Guess we can add that to the list of things I've called wrong over the past three weeks or so.

Either way, Hurley figures to get paid ... and Buffalo figures to get screwed.

Bobby Hurley just re-upped with Buffalo. He's not going anywhere this year.

Jim--CLP reported further up that Hurley is staying with Buffalo. I am not sure what they paid but looks like the Bulls still have their man.

I thought the link said that Hurley had agreed to an extension, but wasn't signing anything yet and still wanted to keep his options open.

If I read that wrong, or am simply remembering something that never existed, my apologies.

Interesting question. The last go around we decided to be concervative and look where it got us.

I will probably be wrong like gmujim....but I'm going out on a limb to say that Mason will not get in the salary wars...(plus I think Edwards is going for Prohm and miss out) and just pick some off the NATIONAL radar candidate like a Cherry. Not a slam on him..just a reasonable HC from a small school no one is paying attention to...

Yeah, lots of conflicting reports on Hurley too, so I may not have been completely right at first. Most likely scenario has Hurley reaching an agreement in principle with Buffalo, but he wants to interview with DePaul before he signs the contract.

If Edwards wanted to hire Cherry, couldn't he already have done so?

Has Cherry even been interviewed?

I'm already on the record as predicting we won't get Prohm -- hope I'm wrong -- but we've been mentioned with a few other guys who won't cost a million bucks to sign.

I don't see Cherry getting this job.

Not saying he wants Cherry or someone similar. I'm saying he's going for his guy..and if he doesn't get him...we will settle on a Cherry because they will still be available as they aren't going anywhere....

Kind of swing for the fence...but accept a solid single.

One reason he's free to swing for the fences is because even if he doesn't knock it out of the park, he's most likely gonna wind up with a stand-up double at worst.

Prohm = HR
Young = Triple
Moton = Double

Now that Charlotte has hired Price, our biggest competition for Moton is gone. Young hasn't even been mentioned in connection with any other jobs.

No way we're hitting a single with this hire. No freaking way.

Hewitt Rehire = lose grip on bat as swings, hits and kills pitcher, goes to jail for involuntary manslaughter and sodomized viciously in showers every day for 5 years

Hewitt Rehire = I jump out of the stands, take bat out of Edwards' hands, beat him to death with it, then take a bow to thunderous applause.

Judge rules it self-defense ... of the Mason fan base.

For those keeping track at home.....Young may be off the table from talking to the southern branches of my family in Charlotte.

Besides the wife....it seems he's playing the Bob McKillop role......likes where he's at and what he does and is not totally driven by the idea of "moving up." Apparently they have a $40M arena coming (for a school of 1600), and he likes his set up there still after 26 years...

Also explains why his name isnt too much thrown around...
