Mark Prosser would be a great hire.

Certainly, it would be a step up for Mark P. in both prestige and salary. It would also provide the Muskies with an assistant with a fine background in coaching and up-bringing! The questions are:
How effective is he as a recruiter?
What specialties does he bring to the coaching staff relative to position coaching?

Not that this means anything, but Stanley "Retweeted" & "Favorited" my tweet about wanting him to join the staff.

Israel.

Then I now support cutting U.S. ties to Israel if it will bring him back home to Xavier.* Get that man's attitude back in that locker room!

*the views expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect those of the poster and were only presented to illustrate the posters wish that the Hammer return home to coach at Xavier.

How about
Posey from the Cavaliers? He can be XU's mini Calapari.

We will probably get an assistant from some MAC or small conference school that has ties to great recruiting and coaching experiences.

Well, Steele is still on the recruiting trail for X, so luckily for now looks like we'll only be filling one asst. coach opening:

Maybe he's going to see Kenny Williams who was released from his LOI by VCU.

The Nike EYBL tournament is in Virginia.

Speaking of VCU guys, is Tevin Mack still committed to VCU, or is he reopening his recruitment, maybe following Smart to Texas.

I am available and I would never leave my Alma Mater. I have extensive CYO experience and very good winning %.

Call me, Chris.

The live period starts tonight. Just about every coach in the country will be in either hampton, dallas, or new orleans.

If Carter had stayed at X, maybe DePaul would have given you a call.

I approve of this message.

I will add Brian Thornton to the list.

I would think we'll see someone announced pretty quickly as the live period just opened and the signing period opens in 5 days.

I believe we also still have two scholarships to fill.

If they don't win some more games there, and soon, next year may be his last at Ball State, along with the rest of the staff.

I wonder if Danté Jackson is on Coach Mack's list?

Not a ton of experience, but he's worked with three different D1 programs now.

If he opens it up he will look between Texas and South Carolina. VCU has to release him first.

And it took him a looooooonnnnnng time to get a HC job. Maybe that is why.

I have 4 HS CYO City Championships, and am retiring in a year. I could be to Mack like Gene Keady was to Lavin. LOL

That will change. The top two scorers this past season were freshman and they added the UC transfer who then was injured. Also had another freshman starter who ran into some grade issues. Also have another transfer who sat out that will help. Coming In they have the Teague kid from Pike who will be a player. I would imagine they will be at top of MAC in 2 years.
