Drew confirmed suspicions with a tweet about recruit Elijah Joiner attending "Hoops on the Green." The article from Rivals says his visit is the weekend of October 13, which is actually a Thursday.

We'll see what happens.

Does this mean we are hiring James Green as basketball coach.

Ha... nope. At one point during his USM years he was probably big enough to actually play basketball on.

And it probably means that no one in the UAB BB PR office has come up with a play in the present coach's name to match what they had with Haase.

I guess we can blame Ingram for not hiring a coach whose name is easy to market events with puns

LOL; If that was the main consideration, imagine the difficulty for the PR folks at Duke.

There were some outside suggestions. I don't know whether it was because the suggestions came from out side or whether they wanted to trend "less silly", but they chose to go more mundane.

My favorite was Hoops Ehsanity.

Good time to have it at Bartow...

I like the outside gig idea.

William Lee as Mayor of Blockingham is a really cool social media idea.

It's October!

Considering Ehsan had a lot of input in development of the previous events, I'll be interested to see what he has up his sleeve this year. Any guesses?

He needs to jump off or Vulcan wearing a human flying suit and land at center court.

He should zip line off the rec center or Heritage Hall.

Come in on a jet pack and land.
