Was Nate Oates in play when we made this hire? Alabama made that happen. We should have been in that conversation. Nate Oates was probably off the market before we had a chance at him. He was going to a P5 school, probably at a much higher salary than Tulane could offer, into a conference with a hi...

GSU named a current assistant interim HC, golfnut. That same coach may or may not end up on staff at Tulane. Coach Hunter makes his pitch to the current Tulane players: "I Hope You Guys are With Me" https://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/sports/tulane/article_dfdd34a4-50d8-11e9-877d-474c6...

It was good to hear Hunter say afterwards that he would visit every HS in the area even if they didn't have a player this year in order to establish contacts. Would love to see us get players like Elfrid Payton instead of having them go to ULL. Yes for sure! That's why I thought Jimmy T would be a ...

The rankings mean a lot less than the average "score" of the players. More players = higher ranking. Based upon the score of the classes, the last three were higher than any of CJ's. Getting back on thread topic: A good coach can succeed at Tulane. Hunter built a very strong program at a s...

If I were Ron Hunter, I'd think about hiring Jimmy as a recruiting consultant, at least for this spring. The class that Hunter brings in this April will go a long way towards determining how quickly he can get things turned around.

The sky isn't falling. We're not a better or worse team than we were before the game, and Coach Jewitt is no better or worse than he was before last nights game. The ups and downs of the baseball fan base is as bad or worse than football, where they were calling for Coach Fritz's job midway through ...

Golden K is 10 Ks in a game

Backwards is a non swinging strike three, the two previous strikes are irrelevant.

To put it a third way (since the previous two are identical) the backwards K is called strike out, versus struck out swinging.

I, too, am cautiously optimistic. Can Ron Hunter do what he's done at lower levels in the AAC? I love what I've seen thus far. And I'm willing to give him the benefit of a couple of years to get us to the Big Dance. He's not the only Coach getting paid to win in the AAC.

I know that when Vanderbilt fired Bryce Drew, players and recruits (and they had some big name recruits) were considering transferring. Scottie Pippen Jr. hasn't yet signed and they had a 4 star (ranked about the #100 recruit overall) out of TX that's considering changing his LOI. GO GET 'EM RON HUN...

I’m just going to say that part of having a high energy/interesting character as coach is that he’s going to say some awkward things, so there should be some slack cut. I like this over the alternative. This works in NOLA. I think that's just part of who he is. He came off as genuine to me, even if...

Breaker- those special admits have been over since CJ came in. It was that way for a long time but now if any player in any sport meets the minimum's they can get in.So no need for special admits. I agree with your overall take but just wanted to make that clear. To make it clear-A transfer from a ...

I thoroughly enjoyed Ron Hunter. His personality cannot be contained; sometimes I cringed at what he said, but he's genuine. You have to chuckle when he says things like "If I knew you felt that strongly about me, I would have asked for more money." Or "When I win the first conference...

I'm surprised that UL-L is not better. Three and four years ago they had very highly ranked classes. Anyone know if they've been bitten by the pro draft? Just not developed as expected? Or simple attrition?

Welcome Coach Hunter! I'll be wearing my green "MTGA" hat to Devlin. You are a proven winner. You have had 2 former players drafted in 1st round to NBA. If you could hold on to McCallum for your staff we could be sitting pretty for next year and maybe your son could visit to fire up the t...

We have a new coach, and an administration that was not afraid to make what was an obviously needed change. I don't want to talk about why we cannot be a good basketball program because I think we can. Bad coaching hires, and lack of accountability, coupled with an administration that didn't care ab...

R J Barrett fouled on the play they gave Williamson free throws on . I am no fan of UCF but that call was designed to keep Duke in the tourney By putting a 67% FT shooter on the line in the waning moments of the game? He misses, UCF ball with the lead, probably game over. Yet another BRILLIANT post...

UCF loses a heartbreaker to Duke 77-76. Hell of a game. As usual, Duke gets all the calls. UCF put up a valiant effort—should have won.

Great to sweep a weekend series against anyone. It's not easy. Good Job and

ROLL WAVE!

Not a Coach that will keep current players from leaving, small time with lower academic type athletes, only time will tell if he can motivate the very good student athletes Tulane demands. Not sure if will keep current recruits Dunleavy was recruiting. I might be a minority but wish we could have g...

I’m satisfied with the hire. I think he’s earned the right unlike the previous coaches. No doubt about it man. Sometimes folks around here forget who we are. This job is not as attractive has many around here believe. Why? 1. The ability to recruit basketball players who can spell "Tulane Univ...

I'd have to say this is a done deal!

Welcome, Coach Hunter.

ROLL WAVE!

Coach Hunter will be successful at Tulane, y'all just need to get behind him and show him some support. He took a team that went 12-19 before he got to GSU and went 22-11 in his first year. He went to the NCAAs 3 years out of 5, and was a great recruiter at what is a VERY hard place to recruit to. ...
