Coach Anderson Recruiting

If he can leave WKU for high level SEC assistant job, as you claim, he would be insane not to.

You know it’s not that simple. The money, title, and situation have to be right. He’ll be a head coach in 5 years if he plays his cards right.

Bigger schools want him to be a second assistant.

Mullin did that too in the beginning and we know how that turned out. The pitchforks will come out like they always do.

As did Jarvis and Lavin at the beginning but all stopped.  If they keep doing it and show results (unlike Roberts who kept at it but didn't get the results), maybe the pitchforks will stay in.

I wanted him here for the good of the program. He has other things to consider beyond making Marillac happy. I’d want Beilein here too but that would be selfish as well.

It wasn't Hsu that did the considering. Him not being here is not because he thinks he can do better right now. He wanted and wants to be here.

Sick and tired about the mention of Jarvis--I was at a Red White reception at the Garden when he was hired and he bragged about getting a clothing manufacturer to give him free suits not about team and his philosophy and approach.  He got us to final 8 with Fran's players.  He was a self promoter who left the program at its most disgraced position in its history.  Period.

With all due respect, on this one topic I have actual knowledge so I find it odd that you are telling me what he wants. I’ve already heard from him twice on this and from a mutual friend who worked with us one summer.

So what happened? He didn't want to join the SJU staff? Because if that's what he's gonna claim now then he's a liar, or you are.

#1. he didn't leave the program, he was fired - BIG difference
#2. if he was NOT fired and they waited until the end of the year, the Pitt incident NEVER happens and the beginning of the death spiral the program has been in since never happens.

He was far from perfect but in 5 full years he made 3 NCAA tournaments and won the NIT once...

And so what's the holdup. Is this similar to a Rice situation where the two clowns are somehow preventing his hire.

Anderson doesn't want him apparently. Hsu definitely wants to be here. He didn't start following a bunch of official SJU Basketball accounts as well as SJU fan accounts when all the speculation started for no reason.

Also, Marillac was stumping for him that whole time saying we'd be crazy not to hire him non stop, now that the ship has sailed he's gonna claim it was Hsu who declined and he's waiting for a better opportunity. That doesn't check out.

Slower than I used to be but thankfully not the slow you mean. Had hockey game and nba game on TV with PIP so wasn't concentrating fully but enough to see it was one of your posts so expected the worse. LOL

Don’t feel bad, Celtic. I’m slow too.  I interpreted the post the same way you did.

Hsu's latest follow is Nebraska basketball...and that WKU player transferred to Nebraska today

Could it possibly be that Hsu's market demand is being artificially overhyped? Hmmm I wonder.

A coach who actually recruits, what a concept. Mike is acting professional. Showing up at all the events. Also reaching out and going to local schools and checking out the players a train ride away. His energy makes the impression that the apathy is over.

Maidoh looks better than a 2 star from the video I watched. 6'9, 6'10 good shot blocker, athletic finisher, decent shot, can pass, nice all around game. He's visiting tomorrow and hopefully McGriff signs here too. See if we can't land both. Anderson doing work. Good to see.

I mean Marillac doesn't have any kind of bias at all, with knowing Hsu and all.

Glad to see this as well.. @KadaryRichmond3 fits a pressure defense with his length and quick hands and he can make good decisions passing in the transition opportunities they are trying to create. Staff should know that he's a 2019 senior who could be sign this year if he wants.

I'm not sure of the validity re: Richmond can sign up as a '19 recruit, but JPM is typically on top of his stuff. 

Word out on the trail last weekend was Hsu was really bidding his services (mostly LJ's) around hard. Not many had positive things to say about him. Slime and sleaze were words repeatedly used amongst his peers to describe him.

Nor did anyone think Anderson and him would ever work well together.

He visited Tuesday.

Would be a nice add.
