Being offered that kind of money from what is effectively a start up sounds high risk to me. They can promise but she needs to get solid proof they can deliver.
I’m old enough to remember start up leagues who promised big bucks and a year later were bankrupt.
I saw the end of the game they lost in conference tournament. Heartbreaking with a blown lead, and just made me appreciate what the mid and low majors go through trying to get a bis to the tournament. Great season and a loss in OT on your home floor to the hottest team in the league. Bitter pill...
I don't know anything about this guy, but grabbing an experienced assistant from a nationally successful program who lives in the neighborhood seems like a good idea to me.
I need to get caught up with the McCaffrey's. How many sons are there and is Patrick the one who had the cancer when he was in grade school? Are there any younger ones?
I'm not familiar with the accident (or I don't remember, which could be more likely).
If a fan base is obnoxious to a family...
Friendly amendment accepted. I'll buy the practice player theory as more credible than the poaching theory. Sadly, that could well have hurt the kid more than helped him.
He was not going to play with his teammates. He was on his way to a prep school that he hadn’t been at before. Ben likely signed him because there was an open scholarship and to prevent others from poaching him after his commitment.
By definition, I’m not giving up on an 18 year old just yet...
