I agree; the more I read and listen the more positive I get. But...he can't have his hands tied when he gets here. He needs to evaluate and make decisions without interference from the AD. Just base everything on his evaluation of the talent currently on the roster and whether or not they will fit into the style he wants to play. Let's hope he is a master of smoke and mirrors like Fran was and can get the most out of the ashes that are left.

Let's hope the new coach first decides who he wants to stay, and who can go. Not one player has made any decision (regardless of the BS she's slinging) because there is no new coach yet. Couldn't be caught in a lie any worse. 🤦♂️ Lol Not official but the decision is made for the new coach. And the decision to stay or leave for the players won't be final until coach is in place. The admin likely asked the remaining players to wait till after the hire and let the new coach talk to them before they leave. That's how it usually goes. This situation is toxic so they did not hold back the 3 that asked for their release already. I am sure they could change their minds after the hire and stay if the coach wants them

Singelais tweeted:
While Siena continues its coaching search, Fr. F Prince Oduro gets ready to visit Mississippi State from Thursday through Saturday, per his prep school coach. Then he’ll visit South Florida, date TBD. Oduro has received his release to transfer. Could stay at Siena.

I am probably as big a Prince fan as any at Siena, he should stay away from those two programs. South Florida is a grave yard progam and Mississippi St seems like a stretch to me. I just don't see him able to compete with the athletes that Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn are throwing out there.

In Singlais's article, Oduro's prep school coach says "Siena is not doing right by a kid..." But what school gives a blanket release? Siena asked for him to provide them "with a list of schools he'd like to be in contact with which we have not yet received." Siena has always granted a release, but it's understandable and only reasonable that it has to have some contingencies-(can't transfer to another league school or rival)-like a non-compete clause in business. Not sure I like the tone of those in Oduro's camp. He was given the keys to the kingdom and treated, well,- princely. He knows he did not have to earn all those mins and needs to get out of town before the new coach comes and let's players earn time in practice. All 3 of Patsos' favorite freshmen asked for their release. And the players he recruited over are happy and will probably stay. . If he gets out of town, wouldn't he have to earn time under another coach as much as he would here?

Just saw that Mississippi St had 4 guys who put their name in for the NBA draft have decided to go back to school. Wonder if this affects Prince's recruitment by Ben Howland.

@marksingelais Maybe not a good sign for Siena if they've got Prince Oduro wearing a Mississippi State uniform already. Pic went out via twitter.. Yep, he's a goner alright.

I’m not going to deny that Prince is as good as gone (as I agree) but a Jersey pic with the coach is a very standard practice on official visits, especially at bigger programs.

Fantastic. Another ship available for Jamion to bring his own people in.
Everyone is thinking backwards.
