Like rats off a ship

Kidding

How will this effect recruiting for ya'll?

quote:

Bryan Hodgson, regarded as one of the top recruiters and assistant coaches in the nation with 15-plus seasons as a collegiate coach, has been hired as head coach of the Arkansas State men's basketball program, Vice Chancellor of Intercollegiate Athletics Jeff Purinton announced Wednesday.

Hodgson comes to Arkansas State after spending the last four seasons at the University of Alabama, which followed stops at the University of Buffalo (2015-19), Midland (Texas) Junior College (2013-15), Jamestown (NY) Community College (2010-13) and Fredonia State (NY) University (2007-10). He becomes the 17th head coach in program history.

He's a big part of the program both in recruiting and in terms of just being in sync with the guys. Coaches the bigs mostly as well and has done an awesome job with Bediako, Clowney and Pringle.

Losing him and Henry in the same year stinks, but the writing was on the wall that he'd get a job pretty soon. Turning over the staff will be Oats first test in terms of building something consistent and long-term. Hodg is a great recruiter but Oats is pretty involved in all of that as well. Hodg has great connections in Canada and the Northeast which did us really well up there when we'd never had a presence before (Quinerly (NJ), Primo (Canada), Bediako (Canada), Ambrose-Hylton (Canada), Dioboute (NYC) who will be a freshman next year).

You got PTSD or something from so many shots taken at you from tRant?

Usually not worth the effort. My mistake. I'll edit.

It's like a total transformation in the last couple of months with those guys, they're coming into their own at just the right time.

Depends on who we bring in. Hodgson is a great recruiter and the players seemed to love him. We still have Bama boy Pettway who is also a great recruiter.

The same way it effects Alabama football when an assistant leaves. Oats is that good.

Sounds like a great hire for a program that has really struggled since the late 90's.

The Rabbit died


Phrase used to indicate that a woman is pregnant. The term originates from an early pregnancy test. It was discovered that when a pregnant woman's urine was injected into a female rabbit, the hormonal difference would result in detectable changes in the rabbit's ovaries. Although this form of testing was always fatal to the rabbit, no matter what the results were, the public somehow got the misconception that only a positive result killed the rabbit.
"We'll have to get married. The rabbit died."
