Jake's new Staff

[jordana33]

I heard Kyle Green was hired as an assistant. Can anyone confirm that? Who else do you all think should be brought on board? That leaves I think two more spots open.

Thanks Gonzo. I've heard negativity all week and there I was spreading more around. Sometimes we all need to get cracked in the head once in awhile.

We will all know very soon who the staff is. I for one am very excited about the staff Jake has already assembled. Everyone will be very excited about all the hires and promotions.

Any word if Sieverding is still a consideration?

Kyle Green will be a great asset to the Staff!!!!!

Don't plan on Robbie making the jump to UNI......

Go George Mason!

I don't know if this name has come up, but Nick Nurse would also be someone to consider as an asst. He's coached some overseas teams and I think he's in Canada coaching right now. I bet he'd jump at the chance to come back to his alma mater.

John Little told me today that he will be a grad assistant.

[Panthers to the Bone]

Great fantastic news!

Last I heard was that Nick Nurse was a general manager for a team in Europe.

ass't coach

It would be kinda good to have a former panther in the mix with the full time staff. Seems to be working pretty well so far w/ Rick H., Koob, Bobbi, Farley,plus all the other assistants that are alums. I guess as long as we keep winning it doesn't really matter tho.

Go Cats!

While past alumni are nice, I look at it more from the recruiting angle. Can the person in question keep an important out of state connection open (KG) or open new ones (again, KG in Chicagoland and his former ties with Marquette to WI)? Maybe I'm wrong in writing this, but the in-state recruiting can kind of take care of itself as long as we keep winning (it still takes work, but less of a sales job required).

[Panthers to the Bone]

In state battles will continue to be won b/c of PJ Hogan and Ben Jacobson.
Out of state battles in Illinois will help to be won by KG (on the road) and J-Lit (if he stays as a GA as rumored) on campus.
Out of state battles in Wisconsin and Minnesota will help to be won by KG and Jake.
If Foster stays like some think he might, then, he should help with the Missouri talent.

Seems to me that Jake has assembled a staff that can nail down recruits from the surrounding areas. And, the thing is...there is still one more full time position available!

[jordana33]

Two spots left open. Anyone got any inside info on who might fill those. Love the fact that Kyle Green is back.

[tcondon]

Little also told me that Foster will probably not be back as an assistant. I don't think he is looking at coaching anymore at the college level, though that could of course change.

[UNIAlum95]

J-Lit (if he stays as a GA as rumored)

I wonder why no announcement has been made. From talk at the PSC meeting, it was already a done deal...

[VeloPanther]

I've heard Little say it too on one of the postgame shows (dont remember which game) with Gary Rima that he will be a grad assistant, so it must have been determined during the season.
