Donyell Marshall joining Steve Pikiell's staff

Why couldn't Pikiell have waited for a school I can actually root for? It's like he didn't consider my feelings at all.

 

[MexicoHusky]

I was hoping we could get Donyell as a bigs coach. Oh well. I hope it works out for Steve/Donyell

 

[Mazhude]

There goes our big mans coach!

 

[Ts5034]

I did not see that coming at all. Im interested to see how well Steve and Donyell can recruit now that they are in a P5 league for the first time. This is obviously a huge step up for both of them, even though its Rutgers.

@!#=*! I knew Steve was making that call.

 

[Mazhude]

Check out Donyell's hoverboard...

Like to see donyell here someday, seems like great recruiter and a very positive coach/force for kids reading some of the stories. ****And of course, can work w bigs!****

Also, seems very hungry to succeed and motivated to do big things. Think he would mesh well w KO!

The last few seconds are my reaction.

Rutgers - disastrous sports program but Power 5 Conference - Big Ten

UConn- great sports program (excluding fball) but no Power 5 - American Athletic Conference

Who has a better chance coaching at their respective schools 5 years from now? Ollie or Pikiell? I'm going to go with Ollie because of history of the hoops program and name recognition but the AAC will always prevent UConn Men's hoops from being what it once was under Calhoun and the Big East Conference. ...

Happy for them both - I suspected this would be one of his hires.

I've never disliked Rutgers at all (except for C. Viv), so this is all ok by me. Hopefully they can turn things around in the next couple of seasons and become a respectable team.

And 3...2....1... until Chief comes on and tells us all about how Glen Miller sucks as a position coach.

It's Miller's damn gymnastics background.

Donyell is going the exact opposite route of Gottlieb. He's paying his dues, making con ections, sponsoring AAU, etc.

Gottlieb says he can't afford an assistant coach's pay. No wonder he stole CC's. He must be a total suckass managing finances.

 

[Kembacity]

, so our entire staff is UConn alumni, and soon Rutgers will have the same? It's almost as if we aren't a little liberal arts school in the woods of Connecticut

 

[August_West]

Ah crap, at this point B1G won't need UConn they will just make Rutgers UConn- new jersey branch

Conspiracy Kitty says:
Calhoun to ESPN, Warde to Michigan, Pikiell to Rutgers, now Marshall to Rutgers...taking over the Big Ten, one job at a time. Yeah, just keep having meetings Big 12, it just buys us time.

Really going out on a limb here. What swayed you? Ollie's national title or the fact that Rutgers is a dumpster fire?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Athlete94]

Bring in Emeka Okafor to coach our bigs....

Well, let me give you credit for specifying my criticism with Glen is as a position coach not in his other coaching roles - although I am not happy about his romance with the match up zone.

At any rate, you must disagree with me because you have seen great developmental progress in Brimah, Facey and Nolan. Glen's track record is now 3 years long with these guys.

As for physical development - quite frankly my lying eyes!

Miller sucks. The results don't lie.
