2024 Offseason

[SteinPizza]

Devries to WV official.

Just got an alert from DMR. Any word on Tucker?

[95UNIGRAD]

Tucker will follow him according to ESPN story on the move

[Panther AC]

Possible Drake replacements: NW Missouri head coach D2, Kyle Green, Ali Farokmanesh.

[SteinPizza]

No offense to Ali, but they can aim higher. Kyle Green is interesting. Dude has some serious recruiting connections.

I’ll be honest in that I don’t think Drake can wait that long to go after Green - and I don’t think he’s going to be a target or want that kind of move (not Drake but HC in general). With what is about to happen to the portal starting tomorrow Drake needs an ass in seat ASAP and probably has 2 weeks left

Marty Richter isn't going with Darian.

He's the guy and he'll do well. No need to overcomplicate it.

Just because I'm apparently unaware, what is about to happen with the portal tomorrow? You have me curious.

When Green left UNI for ISU, he made it clear he was making the move to get experience in a P6 conference so he could reach his goal of becoming a D1 head coach. Might not be at Drake, but unless his goals have changed, look for him to get his D1 chance eventually.

70 some teams had their seasons end over the weekend in the various tournaments. There's going to be 400 guys jumping in tomorrow and probably 1000 by the end of the week.

If I remember correctly, he’s been there forever, and I’d assume Drake isn’t a situation where you need to make a high profile hire to appease certain donors.

That's what I thought initially, but just wanted to make sure. Thank you!

[SteinPizza]

Just heard from some people with Drake connections. Marty Richter’s getting some serious consideration. One of their understandable concerns, like Clenz said, is keeping players. Not just guys like Enright and Atin Wright, but younger guys like Garland and Kevin Overton. Someone could throw $ at Overton anyway, so keeping him is no guarantee.

[BrockLesnar2]

Drew wasn't even on scholarship, was he?

Good for him. He's earned it.

[Username]

Yup. Either become a developer/feeder program or compete.

To compete, UNI can no longer be the UNI we knew, where most students were recruited out of high school, given time to learn and grow into the system, contribute to that system and graduate degree in hand.

I think the key is going to be balance similar to how it will be this upcoming year.

We’ll still need guys that develop and maximize their potential here like Ty and Born, and realize some like Heise will outgrow it(the only one transferring up) but then be able to provide similar opportunities to high performing d2, JUCO, lower D1 guys who could really shine here.

That way we don’t have to incorporate 10 new guys who may or may not fit and instead work on finding roles for a smaller subset.

[BCPanther]

Tom Crean heavily in the mix at Missouri State.

Lol. Don't ever change Bears. You had the coach that everyone has been begging to get an interview with for years asking for your job and you go with a guy that has never won outside of the years he had Dwyane Wade.
