I have a contact that is pretty well connected to Siena.....and they are very worried that Fran will jump ship this year. Particularly, if the Rutgers or St John's jobs open up!! Not that a mid-major coach jumping to a major conference is ground breaking news...but thought I would share!!
Tell that particular contact that the Johnny brethren would love for McCaffery to come to Queens.
My contact already knows my feelings, but would never say anything to that affect to Fran. Especially since he's a Siena guy!!
Apparently, Siena is extremely worried this year because of the "in the area" schools that might have coaching changes "Rutgers, St Johns, Penn St" and are already working on a figure that will be their "best offer". They don't believe he wasn't to go too move his family too far!?!?!?
To me, Fran seems like the perfect combination of in game X and O's guy, plus a decent ability to recruit. Plus he runs a favorable system!!!
