Oh I know... which still gives him his 4 years out of 5. He didn't RS any of those years to give him the opportunity to get his 6th year.

Unless he has another waiver somewhere...?

Here's what I'm tracking

A write-up of our guys' situation, plus a look at SC guys who have entered the portal, and the commitments that SC had (according to Verbal Recruits)

Somebody speak up if I'm wrong/missing something.

Verizon FiOs has reached an agreement with beIN Sports. I saw it on my tv messages.

^Agreed.

We should see improvement on the OL. Raq Thomas, Driscoll, Kolter (back from medical redshirt), Largay, Dumais and Yerardi should all be vastly improved and more cohesive as a unit. I'm very much looking forward to seeing them move the chains this season.

Also, the line will have an ...

I am disappointed that he and others are leaving but, I am moving on because I am a fan of UMass more than a fan of the players. I don't think that is a knock on the player, I wish them the best and hope to say, "why can't we get guys like that?"

Is anyone else getting a little concerned that we have a ton of offers out there, a few recruits have gone elsewhere, and we have not had any commits? It's starting to make me a little nervous.

I am getting concerned but, I understand why this is happening. It is very difficult for a UMass to ...

At the end of the day if we only lose Berger, Lewis and Coleman and replace them with guys like Nolan our overall talent and roster should be better than last year IMO. I thInk MM sees he's got four talented bigs that are only getting better but a real shooting deficiency. If he adds a couple 3 ...

If we still don't have a coach by tomorrow, wouldn't it be safe to assume that Micah is not the guy?

Said it before but will say it again, would love to see John Groce at UMass. Apparently Dayton is very interested in him right now so it may be too late though. Typical.

I mentioned John Groce ...

The more I research... the more I like:

Jamion Christian, Head Coach of Mount St. Mary’s.

Thoughts?

I will be fine with a Shrewsberry hire.... I think it is worth a shot.

I have a feeling that we hire someone else that we haven't heard about but, will be fine with Shrewsberry. (The only guy we have heard about because of the 100 Celtics Insiders.)

Seth Greenberg... I'm all set. Seriously, does nothing for me. Doesn't put anyone in the seats. Doesn't get me excited. Will be extremely disappointed if they got him.

Yawn.

We don't know why Shrewsberry didn't get the job the first time around, only that PK won it outright.... Maybe Shrewsberry didn't like the money that was offered and pulled out. Maybe UMass said they have more to give... we don't know.

I wouldn't be shocked if Shrewsberry gets a bigger deal than ...

I figured I would throw John Groce just for people's opinion... I don't think it would be a bad hire but want.....
