Major recruiting issues for SHU. This could be the final straw for Willard. It is inconceivable that a school in the BE located in northern NJ can possibly have no signees by the late signing period. With all the money coming into the MBB program at SHU, the alumni and students should demand better immediately. Awful state of affairs right now in South Orange. And to think they were a Top 25 team at one point last year.

It's fairly obvious that Willard is not the answer there. They are going to give him more time, but he's not a great developmental coach or game coach, and he can't recruit at the level to make it up.
Whereas other coaches of losing teams like Purnell (track record), Lavin and Cooley (recruiting) have some positives going for them, Willard's got nothing from my eyes.

With them doubling their money, can't they buy him out? There's got to be someone, anyone better than him. They looked like a JV team when we played them this year.

They looked pretty bad last night, too.

Danny Hurley needs to be their next coach It seems like this has been the solution for 10 years but it never happens. Hurley didn't enjoy his time at the Hall that much -- would he come back and coach?
