Re: at Eastern Illinois

Yay! Can't wait to be a 16 seed. So happy to be in the lackluster OVC so we can make the tourney as a 16 seed. Can hardly control my enthusiasm.    Well he has Omaha as the 16 seed in a play In game but will ignore that    Omaha won't get in. The winner of the Summit League will not be a 16 seed. W...

Re: Head Coaching Search

Can someone tell me why several of you are enamored with an assistant wide receivers coach from the NFL? He's not even the wide receivers coach, but the assistant! I'm more interested in FCS/FBS coordinators or a solid D2 guy who has ran his own program!! Go Necks!!

Re: Candidates for New HC

We passed on Talton this time around. We did go hard after Danny Stephens and they were very disappointed he took a PWO with Mizzou, but that was all based on his girlfriend getting a full ride and going there.

Re: Candidates for New HC

Bubb wants this process completed in a week.  He will move quickly.  There’s quite a bit of interest, but I still believe Chad’s our guy.  More to come on assistant coaches.  Boudreau has a lot of contacts.  He may keep some.

He has bought property in McDonough County, he's from nearby in Iowa, his parents attend games regularly, along with old friends. If for some reason he does not get this job, he has a Power 5 a...

Re: 2021 Offseason Roster Changes

Interestingly enough, I talked with Coach Jeter last week and he said he'd love to find another big with that last scholarship. I think that's his focus, if one becomes available.

Re: New Head Coach

I'm hearing newer UIC AD wants a bigger name. Someone whose already been a head coach like Tim Miles. Important that WIU moves quickly to find the right individual that will be an excellent coach and a good fit in Macomb.

Re: Basketball Recruits - 2020

Yes, TVA did this very thing with Josh Harrellson, a Derek Thomas recruit and then Derek was let go. TVA and WIU got biltzed by the St. Louis media over this. Harrellson ended up at a juco and then played at Kentucky.

Re: New Head Coach

Time to hire a young gun whose ready to take our reins and work hard for the program and integrate himself into the community, much like JD Gravina has done. No retreads please!!!!! Time is of the essence with UIC and IUPUI also looking.
