Hopefully Siena was able to negotiate a big buyout if he leaves in the first three years and that Gerry was able to negotiate better salaries for assistants and the ability to not renew scholarships if a player does not live up to expectations. Hopefully Siena was able to negotiate a reasonable buyout if he's a colossal failure. I certainly don't want that to be the case but our track record isn't great. If we are, indeed, paying GMac a ton of money won't be buying him out if he doesn't live up to the hype. Getting a coach is an investment in the program and the school but we shouldn't be counting on the P5 buyout. Cmon Debbie Downer at least let us have 15 mins to enjoy this

Nice, great hire. I expect he has already been reaching out to recruits and their handlers throughout the process … hoping to see some quick commits.
Over 1000 went into the portal, still 90% available, lots of talent to be had.
Also hoping to see a couple of the guys that haven’t portalled stick around.

I’d argue that Siena has a pretty good record with first time D1 coaches. 3 of the 4 coaches with NCAA appearances were first time D1 head coaches. I’m all in on this hire.

Il throw out the old tracker and start a new one, I doubt there will be much overlap in targets

Welcome GMac!
Always have questions about guys handling a first head coaching job (especially given Cuse’s lack of recent success) but cautiously optimistic that he’s a good fit for where we are at in this moment of college basketball. Think he’ll attract a lot of talent (partially because he’ll bring a lot of money with him) and hopefulgl inject some energy into our place. The real test is what is he as a coach.
Lotta work to do in the portal, and Tobin’s struggles with a completely new team should be a reminder of how hard it is to play roster roulette.
