The AC position for men's basketball is no longer listed as open. The interview process is now probably taking pkace. 

I'm actually kinda surprised that we haven't heard an announcement yet.

Looks like new assistant is Corey Edwards

He was a grad assistant at Creighton last season.  East coast native.  Looks like he has prep school connections as well, at Montverde

Ask and you shall receive I guess, hey DUB? Looks like an exciting young hire, has some pretty prominent support from HCs looks like. 

Really young guy but as yall mentioned he definitely has a lot of support and connections!

Like this hire a lot.

Agreed

Things I like about this hire

--NYC connections
--Montverde connections

Things I'm unsure about

---never recruited before

I was thinking the same on the lack of recruiting history. But I suppose a lot of that is just generic people-skills anyway, if you’re good at it.

____________________________________

The last 2 ac hired seems to focus on having that top prep school connection. Now that the top basketball prep schools created a division competing throughout the season, then culminating with the national high school championships, Hopefully it pays off for us. I haven’t seen Drake recruit prep schools besides Robbins.

Additionally, love the NYC area maybe DMV connections. We lost some Midwest recruits to Loyola previously and if we have playing time, go get the kid willing to relocate to Des Moines.

I like that he has experience training and developing players.

He MAY have more recruiting experience than we realize...from his high school role...

Just DU it !

Drake has announced the hiring

Well, that only took two weeks from when we all knew about it.  Maybe soon, they'll announce which of the seniors are coming back for their extra season, and who they signed this spring.

they are all coming back. Coach is talking but no new commitments this spring yet

I think a lot of us have assumed that for a while now.  I was hinting that it might be nice if there was some kind of official announcement.

Did we get an official announcement last year that the super seniors were coming back? I don’t recall one.
