Seems like English and Providence are trying to guilt trip them into staying by highly implying that it is a done deal (appearance at press conference, one on one with English, news leaks) so they can’t back out. No. Kim English is a good coach and is likeable. I suspect any desire to stay at Providence is driven primarily by the fact they can't transfer again and have zero shot at the NBA as of right now. |

No. Kim English is a good coach and is likeable. He’s been only moderately successful against lesser opposition. “Likeable” is not relevant. His main virtue is that he talks a good game. If he’s successful, he’s leaving. I get the hire, but it’s no sure thing. |

Isn’t that what Cooley is trying to do now? Why else would he hit up a farmer’s market run by students |

Patrick Ewing was a wilty leaf salmonella in a bag type guy. |

"Kur Teng, a four-star shooting guard in the class of 2024, will announce his college decision on Monday, April 3rd, he told On3. The 6-foot-4 junior out of Haverhill (Mass.) Bradford Christian Academy is choosing between three schools: Michigan State, Rutgers, and Providence. He has officially visited each of the programs." www.on3.com/news/kur-teng-sets-commitment-date-michigan-state-rutgers/ |

So in other words, not Providence. The entire staff that recruited him is gone.
I guess you need a third hat on the table though, two hats on a table is boring.
