No I think that ship has sailed.  Again ultimately it is CM's choice and I'm told he wasn't comfortable and ultimately felt Rice would be a negative since others would use the Rutgers stuff to negative recruit against SJU.

I don't think for the long term prosepcts of the program you hire a guy simply based on a few recruits.  You hire him because you think he can be a serious member of your staff now and in the future.  And I don't believe, rightly or wrongly, Coach Mullin thinks Rice would be.

I'm not sure Mullin knows what a good hire is. Next year will literally determine everything

Don’t understand. But this is a common thought. We change nothing but expect different results?

if that happens, we should just give up.

Not sure if that happens.  Either way Capel will get players he is a good recruiter.  But not sure how many head to head wins he'll get going against his mentor on or off the court.

Not likely.  Told those rumors are not solid.

 BTW-Don't get carried away with Rice, I'm not saying he couldn't be a good hire, he may be.  But think about it why is he still available?  If it were as simple as hiring him and getting a great coach/recruiter who may even be able to bring big time kids immediately why hasn't ANYONE hired him as an assistant let alone SJU?  Forget about SJU what is preventing anyone high major or even mid major program from hiring him?  Nothing presumably, so why is he still coaching high school kids?

Rutgers is why no one will hire him. It's hard for him to shed that and the media probably won't let him if he ever gets another college job. That's the most likely reason.
