You are correct, this is the very first time anyone on here has called for him to be fired.
I'm sure we have.
The kids at H Prep don't consider Marshall worthy of their time or talent. I never gave a flip about H Prep.
This is so true!!! And, why would they? This is not a knock on MU - it's just that their sights are focused on bigger sites.........
I was involved with HP for years and my wife and i were host parents to over 10 players thru the years. I can tell you that 100 percent of these kids THINK they are high D1 players. Not necessarily so. The only HP player who played for MU was Justin Coleman. I will tell you that coach D and others have wanted recruit HP but our previous AD was against it and also hiring any of their coaches. HE had his reasons which unfortunately were not accurate. Don’t blame our coaches.
Would love to hear what you feel were the issues are. I will obviously respect your opinions and give you my thoughts if you wish.
I know several St Joe parents that have told me the same thing. HP also left St Joe without paying thousands they owed for tuition to that school.
I think this was a change in leadership. The free/discounted tuition was taking away for these athletes. Hence the demise of the St. Joe ladies basketball program, baseball team, etc....
Shannon was a better recruiter for girls baskteball players than DD has been the Herd! Lol!
HP certainly had some issues but academics and cheating weren’t two of them. ST Joe made no exceptions for HP players. My wife was academic advisor and everything they did conformed to NCAA rules. That doesn’t mean some players didn’t struggle though. I housed players who could have played for MU who weren’t recruited and they had great grades and graduated from college in 4 years. Dayton, North Florida, Akron, Penn State are but a few of low major programs chosen. I know of no NCAA investigations there.
It’s about HP not paying all the tuition. Nothing to do with grades
You are correct, HP didn’t pay it all one year. For 9 straight years HP paid ST. Joe in full. Sometimes it was late but by end of school year they were always paid up. They year they didn’t was the COVID year that the seasons stopped in March. It completely stopped any income coming in for HP thru game attendance. It would have eventually been paid in full.
Curious to know. Who are the posters (on this site) that attend the open practices? Are they sound basketball minds, former players, i.e., know the game well enough and non-partial enough to provide decent feedback. There's a huge difference in open practice and actual games. I once had a kid that played for me that would shoot lights out in practice, but once the lights were on and the fans were packing the gym, he would freeze up and seldom make a shot.
Yep. A lot of guys can stand out in practice. TBH, I doubt Dan and staff have the kids go 100% in practice any way. I just don't see him requiring that.
My point was that those on here giving us the "Andy sure is shooing the ball well in practice" reports refused to ever be honest. Everyone's an all-star and this was Dan's deepest and most talented roster he's had since he's been here. Some of us pointed out that none of that was true, but were ignored and had our fanhood questioned.
I understand you completely, but it's just their opinion. I appreciate the reports but also know well enough how to form my own opinion. I look at it no different than half of the crap I read in an online article or this board. JMO
So you are saying that the guys who went to practice and took the time to write up their opinions to the rest of us were lying to us?
I'd say they were being up front and factual. Although the Dan lovefest tends to make some embellish what they see.
The issue with that is, going with the "we're young" excuse or movement - means another 2-3 years to see if the supposed young guys can develop into legit D1 players.
