Pretty terrible timing as we're gearing up for postseason play, no?

 

[jdb50]

So if it happens does he stay with us through the Tourney runs?

 

[aburks41]

Good for him but why accept the job right before the biggest couple of weeks of the season? Adds an unnecessary distraction, it's not like they were going to fill it with someone else if he was their first choice

 

[Jbirdp5]

It’s been so long since this has happened to us, not sure how it usually goes but if he gets the job will he stay on through the tourney? I know in college football some coaches stay on and pull “double duty” and some start their new assignment immediately. Hoping he stays on for the season if he gets the job.

Jesus, talk about interviewing when his stock is high. Ten toes out, I guess.

 

[aburks41]

Was Kimani the lead recruiter for any of the 5* 2023 guys we are targeting? That class was looking like it could potentially be one of our best ever and it may have just taken a huge nosedive

He was for Castle. Not who was for the others who haven't committed anywhere yet. I want to say it's Moore since so many are NE guys and he's usually the lead guy there

Hopefully Castle is fully bought in on Hurley then. Not worried about him going with Kimani, but I do worry that Georgia or Auburn come calling

I would believe this guy over blauds all day. Covered umass for years.

 

[OUTATIME]

UMass? Really?

 

[CL82]

We all knew that sooner or later Kimani was going to get a head coaching offer. I don’t love the timing, but I wish him the best. Great choice by UMass if it ends up happening.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Sounds like some wishful thinking...

 

[Matt1010]

 

[auror]

Sounds like some people heard zeroing in on and thought that meant they had talked to him and were negotiating an agreement, but really just meant he's at the top of the shortlist.

 

[aburks41]

Okay so here’s what the UMass source guys are saying on the twitter spaces. They think that Kimani’s agent was the one who leaked this to try to get his name out there for some other jobs. And they used BLauds to leak it because “he’s a dope who would go along with it” lol

Good, he's deserves better than that IMO

 

[Austin316]

Stay here. Stay as long as you can… you’ve gotta CHERISH IT!

Would be a great first HC opportunity for Kimani. Public flagship in a good mid major conference.

Honestly, he can do better.

 

[gampelcrazies]

Honestly, he can do better.

What do people expect? How much better can he do?
