I like that our coach has a ton of energy and I think he is going to work really hard to get this thing going. It's just not going to be an easy thing to do. We need to get lucky with a guy or 2 in the next couple of recruiting classes and hope they turn out to be really good. I hope we can do it, b...

usufan5477

I hope USU does very well. I just think to fire Duryea with a good nucleus of young players coming back didn't make sense. We had a chance with what we had coming back next year plus what he could have brought in. We are now starting from scratch and it is going to be a long time before we are relev...

usufan5477

Let's make that bet a $1,000.

usufan5477

Your kidding right. I will take that bet as long as the tournament stays at 68 teams. Everyone should take this bet.

usufan5477

No I said I have met him twice. Just know someone who knows him. Duryea is a high character guy and for anybody to suggest he would do this to the team is nuts. It doesn't matter what the contract says. Barnes as others in the athletic department are going to say that it was supposed to be 5 years l...

usufan5477

Regarding the post above about Tim holding a grudge against players and having this meeting it totally false. Quit posting lies. Here is the facts about the contract. USU messed up the dates. Barnes agrees with this and has even said so as have others at the school who were apart of the negotiations...

usufan5477

Plus with them selling all these new season tickets they should have plenty of money soon to be able to pay him. Hartwell is an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

usufan5477

Everyone involved knows that the contract was for 5 years. Hartwell is playing dumb and acting like he doesn't know and is just just going off the contract which says it is for 5 years and then the dates are wrong. USU will end up paying all or almost all of the money to Duryea. The contract says fo...

usufan5477

The contract contradicts itself. It says it is for 5 years and the dates are wrong. Barnes even says it is for 5 years. Whether you like it or not it was intended to be for 5 years. Again very embarrassing that Utah State won't honor this.

usufan5477

I have said this before. I have only met Duryea twice and hardly know the guy. I got knowledge about this from another person. It was about third hand but they were sure it was accurate. I am a USU fan whoever is coaching the team and will root for Smith to do well. As all of you know I just don't t...

usufan5477

I am done with this board. Want take the personal attacks anymore!

usufan5477

You guys are missing the point. We made it to the conf. semi's with a ton of injuries and a bunch of good young players. Patience should have been the approach to keep a good young team intact. Now it is broken up. Since all of you are so pumped about what is going on. No complaining next year then!...

usufan5477

You guys will be changing your mind very quickly when USU struggles in the coming years. I hope I am wrong but don't think I am.

usufan5477

If you don't like my post then don't read it!!!! USU basketball is in for some tough days ahead.

usufan5477

We have a big problem. First of all I am a loyal aggie fan and will support Smith. Everyone thinks I am in love with Duryea. Fact is I have hardly know him and I have only met him twice. I just think he deserved to have one more year. We made a good run late in the year with a ton of injuries and we...

usufan5477

stang since you know everything and are so smart you explain to me why Aggie Basketball is great again??? Please explain?

usufan5477

Wow!!!! is right!!!!!! 4 years at South Dakota and not one NCAA tourney. We hired a stud. This was a big time hire by Hartwell. Like he said he had amazing interest in this job and we would all be surprised by how much interest there was. I am surprised to say the least!!!

usufan5477

You will see in time that USU owes Duryea 2 years of his annual salary. The buyout is 700,000. If you don't believe me that is fine. You believe what you want.

usufan5477

Nobody stopped some of you from wanting Duryea fired. I just don't think this is a great hire. I will support him and time will tell. I just don't think it will be worth it at all especially if we lose Koby or Sam or both. You are wrong about the contract. He signed a 5 year deal that ends 2 years f...

usufan5477

If we want Braxton why didn't we hire Rahe???????

usufan5477

650,000 plus the $700,000 we owe Duryea. Hope it is worth it.

usufan5477

Doesn't matter what you say or act like at the press conference it is what you do on the court. Fact is I was expecting a much better hire than this. Colorado State turns him down so I guess we get him. Had a couple of decent seasons at South Dakota and people are all excited about him. I am just di...

usufan5477

I will support him but not the hire I was expecting. Hartwell made it sound like we were going to be blown away by this hire. Far from that. Why wouldn't we hire a guy like Randy Rahe over this guy?

usufan5477

We do need to increase the budget. The problem is we don't have the resources right now to do that. Again the grass isn't always greener with a new coach, plus there is always a chance of players leaving. If we have some of our better players this year leave then we have a really long ways to go and...

usufan5477

Here is a big problem that we have had with the last 2 coaching searches. We seem to think that we can get a big-time candidate. As you can tell with the last 2 searches both AD's have said that we have a lot of great coaches and people would be surprised with the quality of interest from coaches th...

usufan5477

Peery will get the job. I would take Dooley over him tho. Don't think it is a good fit.

usufan5477

I think hiring Peery is very risky as well. Hasn't proven anything at the D1 level. Actually did fairly poor in his 1st season in the Big Sky finishing 7th. Here is one big problem with Peery. His teams press for 40 minutes. I don't think you can win that way at USU. If you are going to press teams ...

usufan5477

Here is my order who I would like to see hired. 1. Randy Rahe 2. Mark fox 3. TJ Otzleberger 4. Dave Rice There might be some other guys on the radar that I am not aware of but this is who I would list. I am sure there are some asst D1 coaches that we are looking at like Slocum, etc. Just not sure if...

usufan5477

I have no doubt that he is a good recruiter, but recruiting is a group effort at every place. Every coach has to get to know the kid and play a role in his recruiting process. It just isn't a one man show. I don't think we take someone who doesn't have any head coaching experience. There are many ot...

usufan5477

There is no way to no for sure that he was the lead recruiter on all of those guys.

usufan5477

I totally agree that he has to be a good fit. He has to be a good fit as a person, recruiter, coach, etc. All pieces need to fit. Nothing worse than having an asst that is not a good fit. I am just saying that he might be a good asst coach and a way to get some really good players. I think he had so...

usufan5477

That is what I was saying that whoever gets the job needs to look at Condie as an asst. I didn't say hire him before we hire a head coach. He has a stud big man that is still available. Being recruited by a lot of high majors.

usufan5477

I hope whoever gets the head job looks at Condie as an asst. Would be a great way to keep Koby around. Plus he has alot of other guys at other D1 schools who could maybe end up transferring. He has a good player at Arizona and with the mess they have going there who would want to stay there. Plus he...

usufan5477

We are never going to out recruit SDSU, UNLV, New Mexico, etc. It just a fact. Can we beat them on kids from time to time. Yes. Are these teams going to have more talent than us year in and year out. Yes they will. You better have a head coach who can really coach and develop players. We need someon...

usufan5477

Supposedly Mark Fox is in discussions with Colorado State to become their next head coach. Hope they don't beat us out for him.
