I really havent followed Ritchie Mckay like I have with Cooper


Did I read on here that he's had problems with the NCAA or no? I'm talking about violations...


I cant keep everything straight

You book his travel?

Let's put it this way. When someone posts in the next 16 hours that McKay was seen on campus, then you can believe me.

IMO this is nothing more than a 2nd interview...b/c I havent heard anything that leads me to believe Cooper has turned it down and Cooper is still the #1 man...there is a hold up there so maybe this is simply a safety net

This takes a few sentences to develop, but its my only answer for Barber bringing in someone who doesn't fit his mold of what he wants. (DI asst./DII head, on his way up the ladder).

1. Barber wants Cooper (SEC guy, Rhodes scholar, very sharp; he visited Tuesday night/Wednesday)
2. McKay comes highly recommended, w/ DI experience, but would be on his way down a bit to come here (rumored to be on his way now, lol!)

WHY bring in McKay at all?

Possibilities:
1. safety net (already mentioned), if Cooper turns it down.
OR
2. A different kind of safety net: When asked a month from now why he chose Cooper, JB can say "We narrowed it to 2, and he was more the type of guy we were looking for."

And, let's not forget that the most natural of delays for this is simply that some candidates are not done with their seasons yet.

another non-believer. People wanted facts, I share, and get laughed at. :evil:

I wasn't laughing at the fact he's on his way. I think he may very well be. I'm just a little confused why JB might be considering so strongly someone who doesn't fit his initial description of what he's looking for.

(All laughter was at how we can possibly know that on this board. I believe it is true, it just still amazes me how some things we find out! good stuff, guys!)

WWJFD...
...I definitely believe your assertion that McKay will be in town on Friday. It makes sense. Of course, who's not to say that after touring the place and the town, that Coop possibly pulled his name out of consideration? That has been known to happen.

sch...

I would much, MUCH rather see Cooper than McKay, but my questions above were on the basis of "why?", not because of who I would most like to see hired...and, its not Cooper.
