Is there a replay of his interview from tonight? Been working and didn’t get to tune in.

Ah okay, my bad

Here is what I thought
Head coach- Oats
1st assistant- Russian mafia guy
2nd assistant- Pett
3rd assistant- he'll look around and possibly take Bucky if he can't find someone

Ponytail's job- Snowden

Check Al.com they usually have a liink for a replay or at least the transcription of what was said.

Here’s a good story I posted this morning about Hodgson, everyone’s new favorite assistant coach

According to what Oats said this evening, his staff will be Hodgson, an assistant from the previous staff but he hasn't decided which one yet, and probably another one of his guys from Buffalo. I think he wants as many of his guys to convey the system and culture as he can get and he'll keep one guy (probably Pett) for local connections.

I don't believe you.....??

I realize we’re still in the honeymoon phase but I’m more and more impressed with Oats every time I hear him speak. If he can nab Watford and install his system successfully next year, our 2020 team could look like this:

Kira Lewis (Jr)
Trendon Watford (So)
John Petty (Sr)
Herb Jones (Sr)
Raymond Hawkins (So)
Alex Reese (Sr)
Diante Wood (Jr)
Juwan Gary (So)
Jaylen Forbes (So)
Jaden Shackleford (So)
Plus whoever he gets next year

That’s a group with a ton of experience and potential.

How are ya'll feeling about Kira?


Seems almost 50/50 stay or go to me at this point. Louisville and few other good schools seem to be pursing him pretty hard, Duke's name is being mentioned but with Tre Jones probably returning Kira probably wouldn't be starting there right away.


He is basically the only PG we have with any college experience, I sure hope he stays.
