And, that would be in the 500-600 range per at this point in time (little less a few years back) given his track record...just a hunch.

His salary up there has to be somewhat inflated relative to living in the south. And, living in the south is way better on many fronts.

Well they were paying Earl Grant 650k a year and will be getting a 225k buyout from BC. So I'd imagine he'll be getting at least a 500k offer. I don't know what the buyout will be from UMBC. We were and are currently still paying C.B. McGrath 300k a year (to my knowledge) to not be our basketball coach. I don't think there is any reason to assume we could've afforded Ryan Odom.

You are probably correct. But could we have afforded Mary Byington?

Mark Byington? Maybe???

I'm not sure what Mary Byington's asking price was though.

But was he/she quite contrary?

Kelsey headed to Charleston from Winthrop.

Great hire!

Fornes can shoot it at a good clip from 3, so you have an experienced shooter that is not an academic risk since he apparently graduated already . UNCW with 2 grants left to give out. Both should go bigs. We only have 1 and he will be a freshman that needs to fill out in all likelihood.

lol. Wow. If true, that's about as 2021 as 2021 gets.

If both aren’t bigs it’s going to be another long season.

Hopefully it works out better than Zane Martin did for Towson

Fornes had started to play lights out before he got in trouble.
