On a plane to Vietnam. Really! It's prime recruiting season. It's like a CPA taking off 3 weeks before April 15

You guys confused him with all the talk about needing a sharpshooter.

If so it makes me think he's given up on the team and will pursue a career in broadcasting after the year is out! Why wouldn't he have waited until the spring signing period is over to go? He has to be the only MAAC coach (outside of Quinny)that isn't out trying to grab some late signing impact players.

I defended him on the CBS gig but him going off on a good will trip at this time of year is bad. Real bad.

Now is the time of year for a coach to vacation or take time off. I'm sure he left MTS in charge of recruiting while away.

If this kid doesn't end up here so be it. You guys can blame it on a vacation.

Hey you're hero is locked up at the Cuse so you're happy.

I've been around Siena hoop since the 70's seen all D1 coaches and players, some good some not so good. It's part of being a small D1 program. If some around here realized that it would make this board more friendly. Siena had a good 3year run, they aren't Gonzaga or Xavier, they're Siena or just another maac school. If they want to invest $800k or more into a coach, then you could bitch and complain and demand championships.

If this kid doesn't end up here so be it. You guys can blame it on a vacation. So the guy who has beaten Siena x times in a row and made the NCAA tournament is just wasting his time. We got it. You are so much smarter than him. Have you applied for the Quinnipiac job? I don't want my coach who has not made the tournament to give up and say 'So be it', esp with the signing period coming up in a couple weeks. Now is the time to take advantage of that big national face time you just got on CBS.

A theory could be that Jimmy already has commitments but they cannot announce until ships open up. I could see that wit the big kid from Canada. The danger is someone could swoop in with an offer to good to refuse, especially if the right coach lands at the right school.

I'm just don't know how realistic it is. Forget Gonzaga or Xavier - how about being Iona or Vermont?

I trust a guy who has been in the coaching business as to his recruiting style compared to the peanut gallery of this board and how they evaluate players and who you give scholarships to.
