I have NO recollection of starting this thread.

However, I missed out on all my scoops:
Painter Stays at Purdue which means that Stevens will probably stay at Butler
Marshall didn't go to OK
"My Friends Call Me SHAKA" isn't going to NC State
Mooney didn't go to UT

Ugh!

Let's see how he does when all those players who transferred in leave.

Who are "all those players who transferred in"?

Debbie Yow sent a letter out to the Wolfpack Club yesterday basically stating that so far, no one wants the job & she really has no one lined up. Wolfpack Nation is in complete meltdown.

That's so pathetic. There are so many good coaches out there, how can you not convince one to leave for the ACC? And it's not like Raliegh is a crappy place to live. At the very least grab an assistant from inside the Triangle. Or would that be frowned upon? I-n-e-p-t-i-t-u-d-e.

[Hold My Own]

Is purple face really going to NC State? That's what I was hearing...could be wrong though

[bigsmooth]

BTW: it's pouring today- be great to have a raincoat.

It seems as those Marshall will stay at WSU. So, the Pack loses again.

Seems as though some overlooked this post

Dear Wolfpack Family,

I am writing to share with you the status of the search for our new head coach for men's basketball. There have been telephone conversations with successful coaches that did not develop into meetings -- sometimes because we did not wish to pursue those coaches further and sometimes because the coach involved is happy where he is.

The conversations have been candid. We have not tried to sugarcoat the challenge of rebuilding our basketball program. Our absence for 5 consecutive years from the NCAA Tournament was noted by each coach as evidence that the program is in poor shape and will require a special effort to rebuild.

Finding a coach with the fight and fire to do this job has been a challenge. That said, we will find an excellent college coach who shares the vision of what State Basketball can become and is up for the challenge.
I realize there are multiple rumors surfacing about the nature of the search on websites and in newspapers. Once our new coach is hired, I will be in a position to bring perspective to a number of those rumors. But, right now, we need to remain focused on finding a talented collegiate coach who is a fighter, full of confidence and appreciation for the opportunity to lead our basketball program back to national prominence.

That will happen in spite of those who believe this cannot occur.

Wolfpack Basketball is destined for a revival. We will accept no less. Please keep the faith while we continue the search. Your emails and text messages of support have meant everything to me. I am blessed to be your AD.

In the Spirit of the Pack,

Debbie

[blwall1416]

Let's see how he does when all those players who transferred in leave.

Who are "all those players who transferred in"?

Ok, it was only Skeen, but all sounded like a much better argument;) But, I do think that having Grant's recruits helped.

Ok. Just making sure we got our facts correct

Yeah that's the only thing Shaka has yet to prove - that he can win with his recruits. We'll find out alot about that this coming year. On paper, he has some good freshman and recruits coming in. Again, on paper.

Purple Face seems happy in Witchita:

My wife's cousin is headed from Miami to Mizzou to stay on Coach Haith's staff. I'm hearing it was a MAJOR salary increase going from The U to Mizzou.

[Chris Lang]

No one saw this one coming ...

Jim Larranaga leaves George Mason for Miami:

[jcmanson]

Miami makes for a great retirement home...

[jack_sparrow81]

I'm curious what lured him so quick, especially from just getting permission to speak to him Thursday night. I was reading an article wednesday about how their new ad was leaning towards hiring an assistant and of course I figured Richie.

[jcmanson]

RM to Mason?

[Cider Jim]

RM is probably an ACC lifer, hoping to transition from AC to HC.

[thepostman]

RM to Mason?

If that happened it would be one more reason not to like the man...I am still confused why people are more angry at seth then this so called man...

wow was that too harsh? oh well, I am keeping it in here

[flameshaw]

I hold nothing against RM, but I don't believe he will live long enough to be a HC in the ACC.

[jcmanson]

So now Gary Williams is retiring?! Odd timing

[TDDance234]

Hate to see him leave. The ACC got a little weaker yesterday.

[blwall1416]

Although it will be absolutely hilarious if Maryland snags one of the coaches that NC State was targeting. The poor, poor "Wolpfack".
