Ollie, Moore and Killings would recruit the paint off the walls.

Thank you a couple people mentioning Killings being ousted. I mean can we give him some time? Agree, Tom would be more than welcome back.

You should have said 'Ollie, Killings and Moore and Moore.'

Killings deserves some more time.

Ricky Moore, who knows.

Glen Miller we know who he is at this point. I wouldn't mind seeing Tom Moore in this role instead -- I like the toughness he instills.

That's exactly how I feel. Ollie better be in his ear.

Wasn't there additional bad blood w/ Moore beyond the Miles issues? I seem to remember him asserting that JC like to run up the score on teams to pad his players stats...

No, he views Calhoun as a father figure.
 
Gosh I was just thinking about Moore yesterday and wondering if Q was going to let him go.

If he's available, they're crackers not to bring him back in the fold. Their recruiting would just be something else.

I'm not ready to see Ollie go anywhere yet. A shakeup on the coaching staff though? I'm all for it. Especially with a guy who had as much success here as Moore did.

I mean how much of a boost it needs is debatable at least in terms of getting guys high up the list... next year's roster and nat'l rankings:

Adams - 25
Larrier - 41
Enoch - 72
Gilbert - 32
Jackson - 57
Durham - 30
Diarra - 133
MAL - 36
Plley - 106

You'd figure with that many top 50/100 guys...
 
I'm a pass on Moore. We need a solid developer of talent. Recruiting, Moore's strength, has been fine.

No, Jim likes Tom - always has!
 
Chaise Daniels - - would he be eligible for transfer from Q now? He's 6-9 240pds and puts up decent numbers. Went to Hillhouse was like 26-1 and is much more active than Cobb.

He'd have to sit a year unless he graduates early. He has not redshirted.

I love the fact that you mentioned a trebuchet in a forum about college basketball. That is not something many people can say.

Pass. He tends to lounge too much.
 
The staff definitely needs a shakeup, and more was one of the better assistants under Calhoun - not just as a recruiter, but at the actual coaching thing too.

Bringing him back is such a no-brainer if he's interested.

I like Tom not because he is a Massachusetts guy but he is a good dude who does the work .

Yeah probably like Larrier / as I recall we tried to get some exception but it did not get approved.

Howie at right behind the bench on senior day. He was getting stat sheets every timeout. The first time Brimah came out he screamed "0 rebounds, 0"

Diarra and Brimah looked into the crowd with a perplexed look seeing who said it.

Crap, that could have been yelled out many games

Hard to argue with the Head Shark and those that think the same.....But one would think if this guy was such a recruiting guru he would still have his job.
In his own words...
"We made a couple of recruiting mistakes in the years when we were moving from the NEC. It caught us in 2016 and 2017. We had a couple of kids who didn't work out, transferred to lower levels and it hurt our senior classes of the past two years. That was the biggest problem that affected our results."

Not sure how putting a couple members of the present staff into a trebuchet would be done as they are all family dictated by JC and KO.
This and he still has a good relationship with JH who has the respect of nobody in UConn country...
"That's 30 years of recruiting and everything else," Moore said. "I was talking to [former UConn AD] Jeff Hathaway and he said it's being on the treadmill. It doesn't give you time to step back and reflect. So it has been a little cathartic to take 15 minutes to look in the rear view mirror. I'm in a good place."

He will resurface but it does not make sense @ UConn at this point. Just my opinion. No attack on those with other views....;) :)
