Matt A

Or hire Rowan Barrett and get his son and his son's friends and
open a pipeline to the talent north if the border.

Matt isn't worth 450k. Simple as that.  He's good but that is upper echelon assistant money. Joe3 could get guys to campus to visit Mullin and Richmond.

Hire Michael Porter Sr. and get the #1 player in 2017, the #26 player in 2018, and maybe some coaching ability.

Whether Matt is a top echelon assistant is up for debate, but losing him means losing almost all of the progress made on 2018 guys which is setting up to be a make or break year for us recruiting-wise.

I think you overestimate how much recruits actually care about Mullin and Richmond. Just because they are hall of fame players doesn't mean they know how to develop 18-22 year old players into NBA players. Recruits won't care until Mullin and Richmond can show they have turned 4 star recruits into NBA players. Top tier recruits don't care that John Calipari only played at Clarion, they care that he knows how to help them get ready for the NBA.

Porter Sr is already on a staff, oh well

Mike Glennon isn't worth 15 million but market dictated that but I get your point.

Iowa St. still crushing it with players Matt recruited. Bottom line is St. Johns is better with him.

A lot more involved with Porter than simply giving his dad a job. Agent$ and brand$ heavily involved there. Kid is special player.

For all those skeptical about Mike Rice and his past: the dude has done all the right things since the incidents.  He has taken full accountability and apologized.  He has undergone counseling, attended John Lucas's program. He has met with LGBT groups and apologized to them.  He humbled himself by starting back at the bottom rung of basketball by holding Hoop Group workouts for teens and adolescents, then by working as an assistant for a HS team.  To me, hes done all the right things and deserves another chance.

He is highly regarded as a coach in the industry, hes well liked by his current HS players and he also coaches 3 of the 2018 targets we are going after.  He is a strong teacher on the defensive end of the floor and a strong player developer.  He is absolutely the perfect fit for what this program needs.  Hire Mike Rice!!

He should be hired no matter what happens with this other guy

"this other guy" ?

Did Matt A steal your puppy Baldi?   You disrespect the guy every opportunity you get.

Straight out of the Bill Parcels playbook.

Matt unfollowed LSU Basketball but not the two LSU beat writers.

Man, this is what it has come to with no college basketball to watch

That is some childish sh*t he does with his following and unfollowing. If his friend coaches LSU, then follow them. The only way this makes sense to me is if Wade didn't offer or changed his mind and rescinded the offer.

How can you see who someone unfollows on Twitter?

Is it childish to pay attention to that? I for one follow and unfollow accounts from time to time. Things get to cluttered following too many.

Soured?

I was never like others were and quickly saw the full picture.

Regardless of my or Baldi's opinions nobody can say the way he acts on Twitter is right. It's so petty it's sad. He knows fans follow who he follows. So if he comes back and just followed the LSU accounts to troll does that change how people view him ? Regardless he's unfollows kids he stops recruiting and it's a small world. Never know who you might come across again.

I don't think unfollow or follow is that serious. I think this is really making a mountain out of a molehill.
