299 Days of English

It wouldn't shock me if he is our next head coach in 2 or 3 years if English bolts. I'm not endorsing that one way or the other, but it wouldn't be a huge stretch given his prior experience as a head coach.

And just to be clear, I ain't mad at'cha over it. In fact, I think I'll join you.
(ehmmm..mmmm #clearsthroat)


You know, I'd bet on it. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that CDF would've been a better selection than CKE. Brad really F'd this whole thing up! What he really should have done is extend CDP.

I would put Simpkins ahead of Felton in the pecking order, too.

But I think we all know what the real answer is........Tony Skinn.

New order when random former NBA players are responding to tweets Mason Bball puts out. Feels like our recruiting stock is on a new trajectory.
Damn... I almost don't want to let myself get used to this. It's stupid to think ahead and be pessimistic about a scenario that's not even close to happening yet... but I can't help but envision when/if English leaves us for a P5 job after a few years and we regress back to what we've been for the past 10 years. After the past month or so, we went from 0 to 60 in less than a second because we now have a coach that not only gets social media, but drives the AD to up its game and actually put out interesting content about the program. Hopefully this become our new norm regardless of what the future holds.

Or maybe the program evolves where KE stays. That or we get Kompromat.

So what's kompromat?

Pictures, videos, text messages that could be "uncomfortable" if made public.


For a simple example - think of the 8mm "home movies GMUTom keeps in the faded brown cardboard box underneath 2003's Christmas decorations in the attic. Or Jollay's polaroid collection

Random fact - texted a buddy this tweet and his elephant memory reminded me that Speights was a freshman on the Florida team that beat us in the Final Four.

I was going to bring that up too... but I got berated on another thread for mentioning the Gators. :) So I bit my tongue. Speights was supposed to be the next Joakim Noah, but he ate himself out of that legacy and left after his junior year.

Ah, I see. Or rather, I don't see. But I do understand. Thanks.

With Jollay, is it really Kompromat or resume enhancers?

Felton doesn't have the cleanest past....just Google Cleveland State...so temper that plan for now.

As for DP...his style, would not draw kids bedazzled with NBA or big time aspirations. There's a reason Grayer, Green left. Some of those kids came for Simpkins not Paulsen.

Grayer and Green weren't signed with Simpk on staff. But I get your point.

Did Felton have issues other than at Cleveland State?

wow, I wonder of Brad Edwards looked into Dennis Felton's past before stamping his approval on that hiring?
KE's first misstep? Might be a huge one. We just can. not. have clouds like this hanging over the program. One thing about Mason bball, it's always been clean. This is concerning.
