So because a kid has talked about going home and talking everything over with his parents, that means he's out the door?

[Hold My Own]

I heard Jesse might be out the door

50/50 chance right now...coach's are hitting the road to talk to him now...I think he'll come back...he just got punched in the gut pretty good but he will realize that he's in good hands with DL

[LUconn]

you hear a lot of things for being in Richmond. He was just stabbed in the back. Just give the kid time to clear his head and meet the new staff.

[Hold My Own]

It also helps that Eaker is still here since he's known him since he was 7 years old

I dont see how he was stabbed in the back, coaching is a day job just like mine and yours, no one is going to look at you negatively when you take a higher profile job and get more money. I think you guys have taken the McKay thing a little to harsh, plus you may not know what has happened behind the scenes. In the end the guy just took a better paying job with a long time friend. Sorry but I am doing the same thing and a lot of yall would to

The main quote in my statement was missed. I said MAYBE.

Come on. I'll admit he doesn't owe us anything despite what he might have kept assuring us of (over and over and over). But with the players? He abandoned them. Why else do you think Jesse is taking this so hard?

The only thing is you going to work at a company just for a certain person, and the entire time they are telling you they are committed to being there with you and you go to sleep and the next thing you know you get a text from another co worker telling you they're gone.


And he isnt getting paid more, as of right now he's getting paid quite a bit less. As far as behind the scenes things go, this is not like the RD thing....there really wasnt much more then met the eye except on the "commitment" side of things...but I think they didnt want to lock him up having doubts if he'll be here

Its a business, they are young adults, its a good life lesson, but in the end McKay's got to look out for his family as well. I understand Jesse from a basketball standpoint is a little taken back, but to use the word abandoned thats pretty strong. Players just need to sack up and move on, its a business.

[LUconn]

stop saying he was looking out for his family! He was making 6 figures in lynchburg. You are living like a King with that cash.

I am under the impression he is getting paid more and its guaranteed but I could be wrong, but regarless its a high ACC coaching job, sorry but the opportunities at Liberty are limited compared to what the ACC has to offer. Also people leave companies after being promised loyalty and committment, a lot of firings happen when you least expect.

[BUSIMAN23]

I think the acronym ACC should sum it up

[LUconn]

again, that's the "business" side. He made it more than "business". I can't believe we're still talking about this. How many times does a guy have to invoke non-business terms like "God's plan", etc. before you take the move as disingenuous?

It is just my opinion and I was offereing, lets move on

[soccer7]

I know that Oak Hill is close, but the fact that he plays basketball for Oak Hill pretty much rules us out.

Oak Hill has two teams that play. If he plays on the one that the major colleges send there for a prep year or the kids go there to get a scholarship to a major school then yes, I agree we have no shot at him. However, if he plays on their B team then we could land him. Just my .02 cents.

[Th3rd]

I wouldnt rule out a Oak Hill guy coming to Liberty, especially if Layer was recruiting him. I mean Seth could have gone to Oak Hill and we landed him didnt we, granted these are different circumstances but still

[TDDance234]

I think that because there was a Jesse Sanders leaving reference, this thread will explode within three hours.

[Th3rd]

No, but i think its just hype right now, Jesse is a good guy and im 85% sure that he will be coming back next season and be the leader of this team. Trust me, i just saw him on Monday and he was laughing it up and was in very good spirits. I don't see him leaving over getting a guy who helped bring him here

[LCA&LU Mom]

So am I the only one that is having to work really hard not to panic about Jesse?

Trying HARD not to panic. Or pull out my hair. Or cry. Or jump off a ledge. Quoting Peach in my head ""Find a happy place! Find a happy place! Find a happy place!"

[HenryGale]

Somebody just needs to ask him what God's will is for his basketball career

[SuperJon]

So am I the only one that is having to work really hard not to panic about Jesse?

You should be. There's no reason to panic.

A freshman, 19 year old kid had the guy that recruited him up and leave. He decided to go home and be with his family to clear his head and talk to them before the new coach was even named. Now that the new coach has been named, he has a chance to get to know him. After that, I'm sure he'll talk to his parents and older brother and they'll make a decision. This is the way it happens during every single coaching change.

[Cider Jim]

Oak Hill has two teams that play.

So which team did BJ play for? Oh, wait, he went to Hargave. 'Sorry.

[flames1971]

1 word: PRAY!!!

[Cider Jim]

Here's the question that I'm almost afraid to ask: Is Jesse good enough to play in C-ville?

[dompennix]

Here's the question that I'm almost afraid to ask: Is Jesse good enough to play in C-ville?

Play? The last couple of minutes in a blowout, i don't think he would be in close games. But i think he could make the team.
