April 22, 200719 yr Current Morehead State coach Matthew Mitchell will be named coach later today or Monday morning. :fight:
April 22, 200719 yr Don't know much about him but it can't be an upgrade if he's coming from Morehead.
April 22, 200719 yr Whats wrong with Morehead? And who said it was an upgrade? :fight: I don't think they've got much of a national presence which would mean that their coach probably doesn't have the presence to recruit with the other SEC heavyweights. This one has disaster written all over it.
April 23, 200719 yr Author He was an assistant at tennessee then Florida then Kentucky then became Morehead head coach. He knows the SEC very well. I expected him to be the next Mississippi coach. She just hasn't left yet. :fight:
April 23, 200719 yr This is a major dissapointment. Hoped they would go after the Marquette coach. From the SEC to Morehead and back, are you kidding me?
April 23, 200719 yr Whats wrong with Morehead? And who said it was an upgrade? :fight: A lot is wrong with Morehead. I can say so because I go there and I am here everyday!
April 23, 200719 yr Was he successful at Morehead? What's his resume? UK dropped the ball with women's basketball back in the '70s when Coach Yow left. They had a chance to get into the game early and build themselves as a national power, but they weren't willing to put the money and interest into the program. So, Tennessee and others took the ball and ran with it. Now,those schools have the players kentucky should have the ability to get, and now recruits don't see Kentucky as a national power. They see Tennessee, Connnecticut, and others. Just look at the Parade magazine picks....how many of them are going to either Tennessee or UConn? I don't think UK has ever had a Parade or McBurger signee.
April 23, 200719 yr I don't think they've got much of a national presence which would mean that their coach probably doesn't have the presence to recruit with the other SEC heavyweights. This one has disaster written all over it. I agree. No offense to Morehead but you'd think they'd be able to get someone who has national prominence. Then again, they could've just found they "next big thing" in coaching with this hire. Only time will tell.
April 23, 200719 yr Author source? Me, I am the source. Press conference Monday at 2:30p. See ya there!! :fight:
April 23, 200719 yr Go catch Boom. I heard his named dropped a week or so ago. He has done a nice job turning MSU around. I was hoping for McDuff from Xavier.
April 23, 200719 yr He has pulled in some pretty good recruiting classes at Florida and UK so lets see......
April 23, 200719 yr Link to Mitchell bio, at MSU...I'm guessing, the connection to DeMoss, was favorable. http://www.msueagles.com/womensbasketball.asp?coachid=4&display=coachbio
April 23, 200719 yr Author A lot is wrong with Morehead. I can say so because I go there and I am here everyday! Maybe you should look for some where else if you think it's so bad. I am a Morehead Fan. The womens program has had 2 nice years under Mitchell. :fight:
