Travis Ford from UMass.....Thoughts

[mueagle84]

What are the possibilities of hiring Travis Ford from UMass???  He played under Richie Pitino and after watching the NIT Championship game looks like he could be an intriging pick-up.......Has connections back from the east coast......could recruit bigs

Personally, I'm not a fan, and think we could do better...but that may be my own bias. He's done a solid job at UMass. His name has popped up for the Providence job in recent days.

If you like getting blown out by IUPUI...then that will be us.

I know nothing about Ford, nor have I seen UMass play until tonight, but I do like the way they play.

He is honestly my first choice.  Teams have bad losses and the fact that UMASS lost to IUPUI doesn't make him a bad choice.

All have him going to LSU, where the President is the former President of UMASS who had a say in hiring him. Fran F. said on the air that UMASS will also counter-offer to keep him there.

They beat Syracuse this year....twice....both times at Syracuse.


Ford is likely going to LSU guys, scratch him off your radar.
