I suggest we offer to these two guards. They are solid, consistent shooters and create scoring opportunities for
themselves and others.
Kevin Willard’s KICK HIS TEAM AND UNIVERSITY IN THE NUTS departure to Nova has stripped the cupboard nearly bare. Only TWO remaining bench players from this year’s roster have not declared for the draft, the portal, or decommited. 😳🤭
Give me Hubert Davis, warts and all, as opposed to Willard and coaches of his stripe.
 
We should cast a very wide net BUT I still want them to spend some time ensuring the person fits the culture! I never want us to just settle for talent with no consideration of character, team work, and work ethic,

Hopefully, Hubs reaches out and at least one of them considers joining the Family!
 
@39 Feet Above Sea Level I have no knowledge about Willard or what he left behind at UMD. Anyone have insights to what makes his departure different than other coaches who change schools before their contract expires? Is it recruiting (or lack thereof) for next season?

Keelo, Willard chose the NCAA tourney stage to whine about the school’s obsession with football.
He complained about the AD’s departure to SMU and other issues.
He made it about himself, said he wasn’t leaving (Terp insiders knew he was going to Nova already
in mid-March), told his team before the FL game that he wasn’t leaving, and told his team
the same thing in the post-game locker room.
He quit the next day. He terribly disrespected those 15 young men.
