So does that mean some of you who dragged little Miami have to drag the Dayton program now?

Dayton will put muscle on him and put him in his correct position. He will do well there. I've never seen a program like us in the last 10 years that wanted skinny kids and keep them skinny for 4 years.

No surprise there, bust.  Danny D. came to MU 60 years ago as a skinny runt, and left after eligibility expired with a degree as a "skinny runt".  Came back as a head coach half a century later and was still . . . . . . a "skinny runt"!  In terms of strength and conditioning,
Danny Boy's philosophy was, to paraphrase a Mexican bandido in Humphrey Bogart's "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", "we don't need no stinking" muscle!!

This board for the most part is so negative.   Nothing is ever good enough for the majority of posters??.

Maybe, 1216, the board is the WAY IT IS is that enough HERD FANS have HAD ENOUGH after a DECADE of marginally over .500 basketball under Mr. Yuk Yuk, let's have "FUN", Danny Boy!!!  Just maybe enough fans have had their fill of "FUN" and want a consistent, year after year WINNER, and a team that CONSISTENTLY plays for "CHAMPIONSHIPS" and is a consistent participant in SIGNIFICANT post season play.  IMO, given MU's still consistently strong fan base and support and the fact that we have, as many readily admit, stepped "down" when it comes to the caliber of basketball competition with our new membership in the SBC, that's not too much for the FANS to ask for!!!

So yet another grad leaving the area?
If the area & WV in general is going to thrive, that has to stop.
I do understand, though. We had to leave back in 1983 for me to earn a living.

Sadly elginherd, recent Census info indicated that Huntington/Cabell County lost 3,000 or so people since the 2020 Census, so the out migration continues.  Same for other counties in Southern and SW WV, which doesn't bode well for that area of WV and MU when it comes to enrollment, fan support, etc., etc.

Nesbit is a great athlete. Would love to get a PG like Hammond and a couple more like Nesbitt.

Well we are free from DAntoni and i believe corny will take a different approach?.i always thought Dawson should have been a son of Marshall from the start?..hopefully he will get a chance to go out with a larger role.  I?m just being cautiously optimistic.  Everyone on here wanted Dan gone but said Spears and Smirh wouldn?t do it?..they did it and then the same group complained about Corny and how he?d be a Dan clone?.he immediately sent out offers to ten times more  the amount of portal players than Danny did his entire tenure and suddenly the first one to sign isn?t good enough when he athletically is an upgrade over our intramural scholarship Dudes

Well I do agree with most that you said. But the bottom line is Marshall has no vision for its two main sports. I'll support Corny until he proves he isn't the guy. But teams like JMU are serious about their sports and do their homework when hiring coaches. We just hand the ball off to the next guy and hope for the best. I said o wouldn't get concerned until the end of the month a couple weeks ago. Well here we are and not one commitment other than the hometown boy. And for example JMU has got a D2 all American, one of Morehead st best players along with another OVC player that averaged 14/8 and 2 P5 6'11" kids. Also a Syracuse transfer. Not to mention will most likely sign the 2023 OVC player of the year. How can they get so many quality players and we have ONE that wanted to come back home? But like you said at least we are making offers to players Danny would have never even looked at. Hopefully we get some good news in the next week or two.

Lol!!! Tell us what is so wonderful right now? We have had 2-20 loss seasons out of the last 3. We have 6 spots to fill and have only filled one with a hometown boy wanting to come back home. We have zero guards on the team that can play D1 ball at this time. The football team has not done anything for years. So please tell us why we should be so happy?

So if what you are implying is correct.. the coaching staff decided after Porters 2022 season in which he led the team in sacks and TFLs?  on a scheme that would utilize arguably the teams best defensive player LESS in 2023
That makes no sense


The last season Guidry coached the defense was when Porter excelled?.im not sure what it was specifically that put him in position to wreck havoc on defenses but he did?..next season, Semore comes into the DC job and we see a monster defense on every level not lose much production and become a completely pedestrian defense that rarely gets at the QB, suddenly cannot stop the run and gets burned a lot through the air.     Yea I?d say it was the complete change in philosophy and aggressiveness from Guidry to Semore lead to Porter and damn near everyone else having underwhelming stats this last season
