#UMASSTWITTER sit tight and please stay patient. I’m not trying to b cruel. I just can’t share info yet. Just know that I can’t wait to share
I'm sticking with my thought that he has 2 guys who will be enrolling for 1st semester. Until they are in school he can't say anything. The only fly in the ointment is that usually players will put something on twitter or instagram before the school can say anything. Maybe they are waiting for clearance/acceptance or maybe they have an agreement with Frank to keep it under wraps.

If nothing else, I feel more confident that something good is about to happen.

I just don't get why players wouldn't be posting anything.

Another thing I thought about is whether Coach Ginsburg might be a target to return. Worked for Ford and DK and I think with Frank at one time. Was coaching HS in the area last I heard.

Actually he's an assistant coach at NYU now, but I'd be happy to have him back.

I just hope this announcement from Frank is worth the wait, whatever it is.

Some fun theories on spaces including major capital project for Mullins center or some major NIL collective

To be honest, I'd rather be teased along with the promise of great things, than to hear nothing at all. I trust Frank is going to come through for the program.

1. If this "big news" is anything but recruiting I will not be a happy camper.

2. I have no inside info but my guess is Casey Simmons and one of these 3 bigs; Gapare, Mayhugh or McEldon (assuming Mayhugh and McEldon can reclass to 2022.

If we get this combo I will be a very happy camper. I don't know enough about the 3 bigs to have a favorite.

Is DK coming back? :lol:

I still like him but I know people would lose their minds, even as an assistant.
