Maryland zeroing in on Kevin Willard

Kadary, you know what to do this time

If not for Shaheen Holloway, this would be devastating news for the league.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Always knew he was not long for Seton Hall and feels like a reasonable fit for him. Seems almost certain SHU will quickly move to Holloway so this probably came at the perfect time if it was going to happen.

 

[OkaForPrez]

I’d move on too with Hurley stealing all my recruits.

Willard getting out of a mid major league by any means necessary.

Add him to the long list of little east coaches who have left for power conferences.

Nothing mid major about all the nets you’ve watched Villanova and UConn cut down in the past 20 years, 10 years, 5 years

Aren’t you a Cincinnati fan?

 

[auror]

Why does Maryland want Willard? He's a pretty mediocre coach and not an alum or former assistant or whatever. You'd think they could find someone more intriguing.

And Cincy has won…..lemme count now…,,um…..trying to remember……er

This is where my mind immediately went to. Third time is a charm, right?

 

[HooperScooper]

One source called the likelihood of Willard to Maryland “99 percent,” while another said an announcement could come Monday.

“When I get home I’ll talk to my agent and discuss things with my agent,” he said, adding, “I’ll be honest with you. If I’m not here next year, I’d love, if Shaheen Holloway is here, that would be the happiest thing to happen to me.”

Maryland is targeting Seton Hall’s Kevin Willard as its next coach, announcement could come within days

Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard is being targeted by Maryland and an announcement could come as soon as Monday.

Hard pass. He'd also have to sit out a year since he already transferred once and UConn needs PG help right away.

With Willard leaving you could apply for a waiver, yes?

He will get a waiver because Willard is leaving. Wouldn’t need to sit a year

We'll see how lenient the NCAA is now that they have a 1 time free transfer rule. Hard pass anyway.

 

[the Q]

Is there any chance they call Hurley?

Has his stock fallen that far that they’d call Holloway first?

You people are flat out nuts. “Has his stock fallen that far?” Maryland is hiring a guy that just lost by 500 to TCU. Seton Hall lives in reality and know that Hurley is not going to Seton Hall. Jesus.

I like Willard as a coach, but Willard to Maryland is the right move for Willard and Seton Hall. He has run out the string with the Pirates. The team I watched last night was checked out. A new coach would bring energy to the program. Willard could use a fresh start too.

 

[KingAG]

Pass on Kadary. We need guards who can shoot and score the ball

He pulled up for a jump shot in the BET that almost shattered the backboard. It leaves his hand like a slingshot. Imagine Richmond and Jackson on the court together? It’s like the anti-Splash brothers. The “miss the water” brothers.

Don't get fan confused with anything else...

I know what shot ur talking about too LOL

 

[EnochRoot]

Talk about a program whose star has faded (Maryland). Woof.

 

[rip7774]

Anyone notice Richmond looks kinda salty/whiny a lot? Maybe just me. Want 2 guards in portal badly, but have to be able to shoot & fit culture.

I mean he was there for 12 years, it's not a lifetime appointment lol.

 

[UofCT]

They should just hire Juan Dixon. He was a win away from the tournament. I would imagine he’s one of the if not the most respected basketball player from Maryland.

[Huskyforlife]

I’d take Kadary. He’s got nba level defensive talent.
