I have to say that frankly, I wouldn’t be that sad to see Dunn replaced. Not that I dislike him or anything, but he seemed like a rather “blah” hire a year ago. At PSU, he didn’t recruit well and didn’t strike me as all that great of a bench coach.

Jackson would be another story. I’d really prefer to hang onto him.

I’ll be cheering… not sure about other people though. If you are a student, there is no reason why you shouldn’t cheer him considering all he did for the Maize Rage while he was here (getting the bleachers put in, paying for buses to away games, etc).

Harvard, eh? Do you think we’ll cheer, boo, or remain indifferent towards Amaker?

If Mike Jack gets the U-D job then we need to hire someone with in state ties.

In terms of next years schedule I am not sure when it comes out.

Teams that will be there: UCLA (Away) Harvard (Home) Duke (Home) Big Ten/ACC Challenge (Away). I think we are playing in one of the preseason tourneys too. 2k? One of the ones with home games first.

So whats the possibilities of both of these guys leavin then?? Because if Jackson leaves as well then we will definitley need to bring someone in who has in-state relationships right??

Jackson is the in-state recruiter. And he brings a lot.

Dunn is more of a gameplan guy and not on the staff for his recruiting first.

Mahoney has been doing a very good job recruiting, he has been on a lot of these kids if I am not mistaken.

One big thing, is top level players want to go to a known program!! a program that has a winning tradition. So it would be in our/Beileins best interest to maybe take the amount of wins we had this year and possibly/hopefully double that for next year!! That will help get the attention of more top level ball players. Not at all taking anything away from Novak, douglass, or cronin’s game. They will all help in the resurrection of the program!
