Topic: Goodman: D'antoni Out, Corny In

[herdfan129]

I don't know, it sounds like CJ wants to get away from one dimensional players. I've heard Pruett is not going on scholarship now, and Braun will be asked to look elsewhere.

Could all be the rumor mill working, but evidently CJ is already working on getting the roster the way he wants it.

I know you spent a lot time around practices early on. You've mentioned more than once that Dan wouldn't take some of the players that CJ wanted to because it would have created more work for him. Can you expand on that?

If this is true then I will buy season tickets. I?m not buying tickets if he?s going to continue the DD approach with roster management

I can't imagine any coaches or potential coaches that would follow DDs roster approach.

I'm in the same boat. I'll be watching what Corny does with the roster and who he brings in. I think he will be completely different than Danny. I still can't wrap my brain around what Danny was thinking. He had no clue how to put a roster together. I also think Corny will keep a lot of the offense Danny installed but will also implement a lot of things he learned from Gary Watters and others. And Corny will be working recruiting non stop. It's a new day herdfans!!!!

Maybe sometime this week there will be a press conference? It would be nice to hear Corny's ideas on how he wants to run the program and an update on recruiting.

Hard to believe there has not been a press conference already (seems like something is just not right about this)

Believe I heard they are trying to do it on Wednesday of this week.

I hope you're right.  IMO, the offensive side just needs a few tweaks.  The defensive side needs a complete overhaul, as does their approach to strength and conditioning.  Corny has a tough task ahead of him.  Hopefully he has the intestinal fortitude to make the tough decisions needed to move the program forward.

Both sides of the court need more than a few tweaks.

[herdfan129]

We will know a lot in the next few weeks to next month or two. We will see what kind of guys Corny brings in and we will see which guys (if any) that he tells they are no longer on scholarship here at Marshall.

I?m cautiously optimistic.

[The Right Stuff]

I have been told that he will not tell people that are already in the program to pack their bags.

If true, then he isn't serious about the job and we just screwed ourselves.

If true then I no longer support him as coach. He is just DD 2.0, and we made a mistake in hiring him.

[MicDrass1]

Bad move on his part if so.  Upgrade the entire roster.  Nothing going on there.  About 35ppg returning

That is 180 of what I've been told.

Heard he's told Pruett he isn't going on scholarship now and told Braun he can stay here, but it won't be on scholarship going forward.

We will see though.

[Always THE HERD]

I like how different ones on this site, say that they have been told this or that. Many times what these same people have heard never, every is actually true and does not work out like you may have heard or even made up.

Thing is Braun might be 3rd best player on team behind obinna and Martin.  What a roster.

if this isn't sarcasm, i'd remind you who got game minutes in front of him.  everybody else down-bench.  i recall a flash or two in some of each year's exhibition games, but that was all, zip.

anyway, how the hell was DD so blind with so many players?  i mean, i'd understand if every meaningful recruit turned him down at the last minute and he had few choices. 

i have to believe that Corny will not squander this amazing opportunity, that is, if he has full control of the roster and scholarships

As Paul Harvey use to say, " And now, the rest of the story":

Seven players have been told they have a scholarship available for next year: Martin, Oak, Connor, Fricks, Nutter, and the two incoming freshman. We are looking at bringing in 4-6 players from the portal/JUCO, but do not want to bring in all one and done. Both Braun/Pruett have been told they are still on the team, but no guarantee a scholarship will be available. That will be determined by how many players we bring in. Both have been encouraged to look at other schools and we will help in anyway possible. In other words we would like to keep them on the team, can't make any promises to playing time/money, but also want to do what is right by the kid.

[Buffalo Bop]

A note to (cool hand) Luke Creasy for Corny's press conference: Ask some questions about his plans for the program, recruiting updates and staff development.

Thank you

You can go the below links and you can view the roster as it stands now for 2024-2025 as compared to the link for 2023-2024 We know the players who no longer have eligibility (4) and the transfers McKey; Crawford; Toussaint and Moe. It doesn't appear that any other players are leaving at this time per the site. Is Thieneman on scholarship? I guess that roster could change?

Also, the opening for an assistant coach is also listed.

I hope this is true, both that CJ is trying to bring in players to beef up the roster and trying to do right by all the kids on the team.  They are after all kids -- 18-21 year old kids -- and the most important thing is for them to get a college education.  Each of them are doing the best they can.  It's not their fault D'Antoni was terrible at building a roster (and I say that as one that liked DD) and picked some of them when their skills are not D1 quality.  Being honest with them and letting them choose their path knowing the risks is as fair as possible in this less than optimal situation.

[herd2win]

Grab one and done if they will help us win.  Need complete roster overhaul.

Knight's post said something like they didn't want ALL one and dones.  I read that to mean they were willing to take some one and dones if they looked good and some that would hopefully contribute for more than one year. 

I hope that is what they are going to do.  They need both to try to produce a major rebuild next year and to build for the future.

Jackson has one hell of a task in front of him.  If he succeeds he deserves much more than we are paying him.

I don't see where an opening for an assistant coach is listed in you links (although I would assume a position is open, due the fact that CJ is promoted).
