Listening to Willie and Basch this morning
They are hinting at a big time hire to replace Haught who will move to a non-coaching role or possibly with SERTC. I’m not sure Waltz would fit that description…

Haught
They also mention that Haught is likely not leaving but rather shifting positions, possibly to full time SERTC coach in lieu of on the school staff.

There is a very silly rumor I refuse to believe making the rounds...
Yianni D and Shapiro to BBurg. I saw it on X but I think it was referencing an intermat post

Funny thing, Johnny postponed his big "announcement" last week on X,
figure it was to coach at Cornell. Was there a Hokie approach that caused Yianni's delay?? btw..Do we need Yianni if we already have James Green? This is alot more fun than last yr either way..

We do not but it would still be awesome lol
An olympian and two world medalists would be a pretty credentialed staff on the recruiting trail

I think that was all from before James Green was confirmed.
Yianni alluded to a delayed coaching announcement. Tanelli leaving created an opening and people were connecting wishful dots. I really like the Green hire.

I just saw it posted today, I still don't buy it.
Listening to Basch and Willie today it sounds like Shapiro looking to RS and maybe NC State/Nebraska. I think Green is a better pull than Yianni. With Haught staying on in some capacity we don't need a dedicated upperweight guy but still like the idea of Ty or Thompson.

I saw the reference to Johnny and his training partner.
Can't be true ..........
