Wow, this move's getting hammered on Twitter. By UMD fans, no less.

I...really like the hire? Some might call it safe, but he'll give them instant credibility, and guys want to play, and love playing, for him. First year might be a little shaky, but he'll build it right back up, via both recruiting and the portal. Also think his personality will be a hit with the DC media, FWTW.

And if he gets everything that the admin supposedly promised Willard.... :ooh::ohlawd::blessed:

Those people are emotional and some of them have agendas against "the administration" :mjpls:. They wanted to hire a young guy that keeps the job for 20 years but if they picked an unexperienced coach that didn't pan out they would be the first ones complaining.

I don't know shyt about him, but on paper he's better than the last 2 coaches.

Definitely.

Some people wanted them to go after Duane Simpkins. I get it, he's DMV thru and thru and doing good things at AU, but he has 2 years experience.

This is probably his highest profile gig. He's originally from Texas small town and he left Marquette for VA Tech then Texas A&M, two similar cultures. I dont know that he has the personality type for a major East Coast bb program. I've always enjoyed rooting for the Terrapins, since Francis, so I'm not too upset they picked him up.

I'm shocked Maryland and IU both just passed up on Chris Beard.
