Time Frame For New Hire

[Held_AccountaBull]

But don't you want Big East talent?  If we hire a CAA head coach, and he brings along some of his signed recruits... you now have CAA talent

probably better than what we have now

Honestly -  I don't expect an answer until the earliest -- the end of the month - but it might be a few weeks into April.

Woolard is going to take his sweet sweet time on this move.

This will be a defining moment for the man with the big office.

[Guest JulmisteForPrez]

Yes....this will be the move that either makes or breaks Woolard as the USF A.D.

He made a very good hire in Coach Prado, but this is Big East basketball we're talking about.

I'm rooting for him to make a big name for himself on this hire.

As if we have alot of BE talent right now.  Other than Gransberry its hard to make a case that anyone else is BE talent.  

[JoeBulls]

It aint like Cinci is loaded with talent either.

I can't say that Seton Hall is stacked also.

The timing of this is pretty bad... as far as recruiting goes.  There is very little chance now to get any depth behind Kentrell.  Late Signing period is sneaking up on us, and we have no coach.  If we are waiting for someone to finish the NCAA tournament, which is likely, we are seriously limiting the chance of filling our depth problem at PF & C.

Don't forget that 48 teams are done after Sunday... what is one week to wait ??

Chances are that anyone that makes the Sweet 16 won't be coming to USF....

[JoeBulls]

Very good point Jim.

Never really thought of it like that.

I think you have to wait at least a week or two. My reason being, What if Coach Grant loses in round 1 or 2, don't you think he starts to reconsider earlier offers? As a coach he is preparing to win a NC right now with VCU, why would he entertain job offers when that is not his current goal?

you've got to wait a couple weeks here to see who TRUELY IS AVAILABLE
