Title: Jerrance Howard: Who will win this recruiting battle?
Post by: wabash909 on April 10, 2012, 01:25:24 PM
From Illini Insider:

"Well, the last Illini tie has been severed. Good luck to all ..."

"Jerrance Howard will one way or another end up being an assistant in Kansas!"

I don't know about Jerrance, but I am pretty sure you will end up with Jay Price.   Not a great consolation prize by any means.

The real question is, would Jerrance Howard prefer driving an ice cream truck around (recruiting to KU) or working the sunrise to sundown construction job where the task of building is never finished (recruiting to KSU).

I hope he comes to Kansas State but a lot of it depends on how hard he's willing to work at his next job.

He isn't going to KU.  Their only staff opening is the DOBO and he can't recruit as the DOBO.

Don't count out Self.  The DOBO may still be more appealing than the sunrise to sundown construction job.

Well, the guy might be looking to add another dimension to his resume rather than just "salesman". I'd say the DOBO position at KU would fit that criteria pretty well.

He can give him all he wants, but it won't change the fact that it would be horrible for his career to become a DOBO at this point.  Even though it is at a blueblood a DOBO position would be a huge step back in job prestige at this point.  Hinson got a head coaching job from the DOBO because he was a head coach for 11 years before going to KU.  Howard has been an assistant coach for five years.  There will be plenty of assistant coaching positions that open up this spring if the current openings at Florida and Kansas State don't work for him.

Why the hell would he pick KSU? I mean he's delivered the recruits to BW before only to see them riding the pine per ilinifan. No way we get anything but coaches nobody wants. We're mumped - I just hope we have enough sense to treat him like the Turner Gill of basketball and axe him after 2 yrs.

Q:  Do you think it will hurt the U of I to not have retained Jerrance for recruiting?

A:  Dave- We'll see. What I see is a coach building an impressive staff. Dustin Ford and Jamall Walker are excellent, particularly in player development. If you watched last season, that's what this team needs (dribbling, passing, shooting). Recruiting-wise, Walker will handle Chicago and St. Louis; Ford largely will be in Indiana and Ohio; John Groce will be everywhere. And there will be some overlap. This staff wants to operate in a six-hour "breadbasket" of recruiting - while reaching outside of that ratio for the occasional prep school recruitment or otherwise. And six hours is a loose term. Hopefully you get what they mean by that. As for your question, I think it would hurt the U of I more (from a PR/alumni standpoint) if it doesn't handle Jerrance Howard's contract situation well. He played at Illinois, he's an alum (his wife is, too) and he was the lead recruiter on (roughly) half your roster. So we'll see which direction that goes. He's very good on the recruiting trail. And like I wrote in today's News-Gazette - joining oscar Weber at Kansas State is a distinct possibility for Jerrance. If he were making a move today, it would be to K-State. Klee

The NG beat writer got his info from Howard, they are chummy and talk daily.  Also it appears that Florida may hire Rashon Bruno TwitLink (http://{http://twitter.com/#!/joehoopsreport/status/190246596754161664) and Memphis doesn't appear to be kicking Jimmy Williams to the curb.  Looks like KSU may be Howard's only option right now.  Howard still has the obstacle of his Illinois contract & he wants most of the $$.  The KSU train is leaving the station and Howard has to get on by the end of this week.

I'm going to choose to believe we are using every advantage and waiting until the current dead period ends (today) to go along with Weber's claim of finishing "by the end of the week". Let those guys make a bunch of calls this week, especially to the '13 class (or even '14) which is where the recruiting emphasis really needs to be right now.

“She said, ‘Do you still have the fire inside to be at the highest level?’ ” Weber said.
He did, so Weber accepted the challenge at Kansas State, the small-market program in Manhattan, Kan., in the shadows of a big brother up the road in Lawrence coached by another former Illini guy, Bill Self.

I don’t have a problem with him going to dallas.  I actually think that it’s a smart way to stay under the radar, so to speak.  You can be in a hotel room and have coaches fly in or if you need to get on planes and no one is going to recognize you, nor would someone think twice about why a coach is in dallas, necessarily.  If I was doing it, that’s what I’d do.  However, where John and I differ is that when I’m looking a coach’s “chart” (regardless of whether I'm in Dallas or Manhattan) and it looks like the stock market crash of in the late 20’s, I wouldn’t want that coach to be my head basketball coach.

"Howard has reached an agreement to become an assistant on Larry Brown’s staff at Southern Methodist University, Howard said today. Howard spoke with Brown earlier today when the deal was finalized.

An ace recruiter, Howard is familiar with the state of Texas, having worked in an administrative capacity on Billy Gillispie’s staff at Texas A&M.
----
Before the SMU job surfaced, the 31-year-old Howard was close to joining Weber’s staff at Kansas State. He also had spoken with Memphis and DePaul about jobs that are open or could become open. "

He needs a tx recruiter, if he doesn't get one it will be much more worthy of a meltdown than not getting jerrance IMO

howard would rather go to smu than work with a guy he's worked with since 2008. 

but, whatever.  enjoy supporting someone who makes me uncomfortable, you f'ing losers.

I prefer to call him Bubbles.

the guy is recognized as one of the better recruiters in the country and he chose to take a job at smu working for a 71 year old head coach with jank as possible hciw. i mean you could make this up, but you'd have to have a really good imagination.

It is all a powerplay by world wide wes to get connected with more talented young Basketball player so he can make more money on them in the future, who even knows if larry brown is capable of thought anymore.

Still don't know why Howard in know as a ace recruiter, I am under full impression he is solidly on the second tier.

At least Currie made the best decision for our student athletes by making this hire quickly. (The fact that his groupon getaway was about to expire was not a factor.)

Is that rough rider back from sailing the 7 seas yet?  We've got some assistants to hire and a spring game coming up and probably some other crap that needs done.

I can't speak for all of #teamhalo, but I will admit this development is quite disappointing. I thought oscar would at least be able to get one of these guys. The encouragment of keeping the roster intact (the important parts at least) definitely took a hit.

I think we should check Mary Lawrence Elizabeth Cooper-Riley Jones Currie's twitter.

Yeah, its been a roller coaster.  Noot the cool fun kind either, but the kind that swings you one way hard enough to make you puke, then comes back around fast enough so that your puke is still hanging there and hits you in the face.  Also, everyone who rides gets some version of salmanilla because they don't wash anything at this park.

Seems to me we should just offer Jerrance more money... it would seem that we're good for it.

if by "we" you mean Currie then you probably already know why it didn't happen.
