Kolek planning to go pro
I should have tealed 😉
I'm curious to see how Darrin Horn does at Northern Kentucky. He has a good pedigree, just couldn't win big enough at South Carolina after a good stint at Western Kentucky.
1) Travis Diener - has the coaching bloodlines, natural leader, played in the league, beloved by fan base. Maybe he could use a little experience as assistant. How much experience did Hoiberg have when he was given keys to IA St program. I just feel like TD will succeed at anything he tries in life, a born winner2) Drew Diener- huge success at NAIA, including national championship. Now he’s turned around Rockhurst program that had 7 consecutive losing seasons. Assistant at Virginia. Played at SLU. So he’s well familiar with high D-1 level. Plus, he’s a Diener. They’re smart, tough, and they win. 3) Wardle- maybe. He’d be well behind Travis and Drew on my list
lmfao
For the folks afraid of losing next years recruits, oh well, get over it. Short term pain, long term gain if you get the right guy. We accomplished nothing in Henry’s one year. Who knows how long Garcia sticks around if he’s as good as billed. Plus, how’s Wojo and staffs history making players better? Yeah, not greatYou can’t prevent your program from long term gain on hope and prayer of three 18 year old kids. We all know you never know what you have in recruits until they start playing at this level
Wardle has had more success than the other two at the D1 level. By a long shot. If the first two didn’t have the last name, you wouldn’t be interested in the least.
And when you take a look at Wardle's recruiting efforts at Bradley, you begin to reach for the bottle of Tums. There's way better options out there. As I said before, look at Ashley Howard from LaSalle. He's only in his 2nd year and already has outpaced Wardle in recruiting efforts. Not to mention, his kids are disciplined defensively and offensively. He's already better than Wojochokeski
Henry was never going to lead us to much, he isn't even that good. Has struggled mightily in the NBA. It was a marriage of convenience for MU and HE. Nothing more.You just assume long term gain is automatically going to happen....sorry, life doesn't work that way. Honestly, you would be calling for Jay Wright's head right now, or Coach K and others. I have no idea how Wojo turns out, but he has a great class coming in, we're 37th in the ratings, we have three straight post season trips...he has earned the right to keep on coaching.
SLU is not a high major school? I didn’t say they’re an elite program. But they compete with the big boys

They’re 244th in offensive efficiency
Henry was an excellent college player and was just getting started. Maybe his game isn’t right for NBA, but teams still think enough of him that he’s hanging around the fringes. I think had he just stuck around MU couple more seasons, he would have been NBA ready. He left college too soon was his big mistake
No. No it is not. A school in the A10 and has less tournament appearances all time as we do from 02 to now
There is no Northeast Missouri St. U. There used to be until 1996, as it is now called Truman. .....As for Northwest Missouri St.....forget hoops, hire their football coach and re-start MU football (teal)They have appeared in nine D-2 National Title games, winning six, in the past couple of decades.
Well, tragically they lost a great coach, who thought highly enough of their program to take the job. We’ll never know succceses they may have reached under Rick, but he was off to a very nice start there
Hmmmm..... Henry's shot wasn't anything special at MU. He was stifled many times by the defense and wasn't a player who could create his own shot either. In order to be NBA ready he would have had to consistently hit an outside shot. It's kind of interesting that two less physically gifted players such as Steve Novak and Frank Kaminsky turned into much better NBA players. It also shows how skill isn't highly prioritized as potential.
