I hope he has great success somewhere, I'll be rooting for whatever team he joins. Lots of talent, and seems like a great kid. Won't exactly be shedding any tears losing him though, mostly because I really think we need as much of a fresh start as possible. I always thought he had a lot of fire in him, which was refreshing to see on a team that lacked it.

Woke up this morning even more pumped about this hire than I was last night. We had probably the worst B1G coach the past 4 years yet still managed around 20 wins per year. Now we have a proven winner in college basketball who has spent time at a Power 4 school. I have to think that will be good for an additional 2-4 wins per year. Let's freakin roll.

I'll take a coach who shows life on the sidelines as opposed to what we've had the last 4 years. Teams so often take on the identity of their head coach. We've seemed mostly lazy and disinterested since Woodson got here.

I can't love this hire enough. I watched WVU a few times this year and this guy is intense. He really gets after it with his players, high energy guy on the sidelines. So excited to follow this program again now that we have a college basketball coach who puts in the work to recruit. Let's purge our roster, get a coaching staff in place, and build through the portal.

Can we officially NEVER mention Brad Stevens on this board again?

Darn. Well the mystery candidate better not suck. I have already started imagining our future with Devries and I love it.

Why, did he finally read his own Twitter posts?

Board might break today.

Woodson wasn't announced until March 28. He obviously wasn't a college coach, just a bench coach with the Knicks. If we have 11 more days of this I'm gonna have to start putting my thumb on ice every night.

I stated my desire for Devries before Woodson even "retired" and we had an opening. Caught a decent amount of WVU games this year because I thought he'd be a candidate. Solid yes for me.

If you said the names we could discuss the names.

Yeah for a few weeks I've thought that I don't need to see a bracket. Florida will be my pick. They're not really a sleeper though when they're a 1 seed and clearly one of the best teams in the country.

Goodness. 8 on 5. No way UM hangs on at this rate.

It's simple. Painter now has the benefit of the doubt with the B1G officials. Get used to it, they'll rinse and repeat with this stuff every year no matter who their primary big is.
