Best wishes to Brad Underwood, who knows a sinking ship when he sees one

[michigancat]

Don't understand why there would be anything upside from our best players leaving.  Even if your prime goal is just getting Weber out, the worst thing you could have him start with a bare cupboard, finish at the bottom of the confernce his first year, and actually have him improve the program over his first four years.

oh I think he could stay at the bottom of the conference. oscar has got it in him.

Yeah. The chances of getting rid of Currie involve him leaving after a couple decent years from Weber much more than getting him fired. JMHO.

Absolutely. Schulz is tied to currie and currie is tied to weber. It makes firings difficult.

Will people melt down when Underwood goes to KU or will they embrace KU for pulling him away?  tough decission.

[fr@ck me]

I have a hard time believing Self has had time to even consider filling that spot yet.

Well Self has lost a coach and a DBO in the last week, so I'm sure he is looking to replace them with good people before they all have jobs.  seems like something a good coach would do.

I won't be mad at Brad.  Would you rather work for Bill Self or oscar Weber?

Would be absolutely fantastic preparation for Brad to come back as HC @ KSU.

Honestly, now that oscar pretty much has Lowry, I'm fine with Brad following Frank. oscar now has his older, experienced coach on staff. Now he needs a couple of young, energetic recruiters. I get the connection, but now you move on. Just like I didn't want a K-Stater for the principle of it as a HC I'm pretty much the same when it comes to assistants.

how will we "lock down the borders" without a local

Yup, no more landing all the elite Kansas talent, like we enjoyed when Frank was here.

So Brad Underwood is certainly kick some ass right now.

He currently has Stephen F. Austin 10-2 with losses to Texas by 10 and East Tennessee St. by 8.
His team is currently rank 88 in kenpom and 6 in the country in forcing turnovers.
This is really impressive considering Stephen F. Austin was ranked 62 last year but lost its top 3 players.

SFA would probably give us a run for our money.

been popping up quite a bit on gpc lately, but the theory frank is suffering without undy's x's and o's may have at least partial validity to it.

  they seemed more competitive last year, even though they seem to have better talent this year. though i also don't care enough to do any research and will accept my clown suit if someone else does. at any rate, kudos to brad.

I know we own the Beach and played them twice, but Frank now gets to play Akron in back to back games within 3 days.

their final kenpom was worse last year.

Would take Underwood.

[HerrSonntag]

Would take Underwood.

i love the idea too, but as a technicality, oscar hasn't mumped up this season yet, so bleak as those first 3 loses made the season appear, a potential 3-0 vs GW/GZ/OleM is trending in the right direction. And if this season goes well, thats actually 2 good years in a row, one of which can't be explained by his atrocious recruiting (i think oscar would honestly be better off leaving recruiting to assistants, he has terrible interpersonal communication skills, i shook his hand once to zero eye contact and a very awkward exchange of pleasantries).

I'm still team burn it down, but i still try to stay objective about it.

Any chance that both Currie would offer a job AND Brad accept? I think probably not.

He absolutely would.  Leaving some Texas hinterland for a chance to coach at his alma mater and hang out with his old buddies who are boosters who would buy him things that matches the value of his current contract. Yeah, he'd come here and work for Bashar al-Assad.

Such an amazing post

what did Unds do well?  certainly wasn't recruit.  I guess yippie for the pinch post.

Did he have some high profile misses that I don't remember?

[chum1]

I think Huggins just wanted a homegrown guy who he could send all over the state to talk to alumni so that he wouldn't have to do it himself.
