Kevin Willard has added Grant Billmeier as his third assistant at Maryland, meaning Simpkins is not going back to his alma mater for now at least.

Billmeier was on Willard’s staff at Seton Hall.

Sounds like Dunphy to La Salle is now reported as a done deal. Announcement Friday.

Damn. I had a vivid dream last night they went with Paulsen.

I kid not

Dunphy is 73 ( i believe)
Spent the bulk of his prime at Penn and Temple
PhIlly guy thru and thru

IMO
This only works if he has some young capable assistants able to execute and implement his program plans
in terms of recruiting - both HS and portal, player develpment and game plan execution

I suspect he will be doing a lot of fundraising

Elon head coach Mike Schrage has resigned from his position. One of the worst-kept secrets in college basketball recently was Schrage leaving Elon and likely joining Jon Scheyer’s staff at Duke. Would imagine that official announcement should come soon.

no sarcasm, this is actually a really good spot for DP to land. It is a known fact that he will not win much and can help young military men with good leadership and a steady hand (when he is on the Diet Dew)
