Giving him his own thread.

Excellent. Now we can follow. Much preferred to snarky "Google is your friend" responses.

Here is the article on Easley that got me, and others, thinking that there's a solid chance Easley commits to UMass.

https://247sports.com/Article/Easley-ha ... -111710303

If Easley is indeed going to take an OV to UMass in January, I suspect it will likely come on 1/20 for the Saint Louis game... that's the only home game UMass has in January on a Saturday. The game this weekend doesn't make as much sense for him to visit around because it's at 5pm on Sunday.

It is MLK Jr. Weekend. So coming here this weekend might be happening. Schools are closed Monday.

^ True, but is UMass in session, or is it still on break?

First day of classes is 1/22. The kids can move in on Friday if they pay an early return fee. Otherwise they move back in Sunday.

^ I don't usually post info like this, but will here...

We (Mrs. SM) and I were at the postgame reception in the Champions Center...

As a Letterman, I was welcome in the film room, along with 40+ others, including the returnees, coaches, staff...

Coach spoke and there was some discussion...all positive...
absolutely no issues with anyone coming back re: the game results...Coach addressed it very well...

One comment from a former player I know pretty well re: Coach's comments about this game summed it up ...
"It's part of the process."
Everyone was in agreement.

IMHO, we hired the right Coach and will move ahead...
