Yes it ended yesterday. But you can still sign anyone. However, now, it is not binding until the student-athlete enrolls in classes.

If you really want to get depressed, go to the conference board thread on 2018 recruiting. On this message board at least, we're getting killed in the transfer wars.

If you are standing still, you are falling behind and it looks pretty obvious that's what's happening to us.

If i were a player i dont think i would want to come play for a coach that seems destined to get fired after this next season either...

Why is the majority surprised we havent landed anyone yet?!?!?

Some of those folks are so flowery about every recruit it's hard to take serious. Yesterday, I someone post how highly the recruits high school coach spoke of the player. Of course he did.

I gotcha, but at least they have a warm body to exaggerate about.

The only place where JJ's firing is being discussed is by a very vocal minority on these boards.

If his seat is not at least a little warm, why does he not have a new contract yet?

You're more than welcome to exaggerate about the impact Ezikpe, Wade or Reece will have. There is a lot of opportunity there considering their 247 ratings and other offers.

No one said his seat wasn't warm. I don't know. What was said is that it is not a sure thing that he won't be here next year other than by some people here, and they've said nothing to substantiate that claim. Period.

Fair point. I was directing my point more to T Mac

If we don't land the LSU guy or someone similar, it's going to get a lot warmer.

Split thread. Go have fun there.

Unless it was being discussed publicly, you wouldn't know if it was being discussed.

I hope our coaches are on this Transfer recruiting service:

You're making assumptions about what and who other people know.

"The only place where JJ's firing is being discussed is by a very vocal minority on these boards."

If you are choosing to argue your statement has basis of facts backing it up then you are going to have to argue it with yourself.

I have no doubt that there have been numerous private conversations about the possibility of Jeff being replaced that were not written out on this forum. I've been in a few of them with different people myself, and at least a couple of which that I didn't initiate the conversation. Your comment states that this forum is the "only place" where it is being discussed. That is simply not accurate.

The sad part is we should be talking about the transfers we have gotten and not about ones we are trying to get. It's too late now! Water is over the dam. I feel bad for this team because we have some very good talented players but need some BIG help. JJ's inability to recruit big men is not fair to these guys. He is not doing his job! We are mediocrity at its best with no future signs of improving.

It's still "next week" from Ed's tweet on May 11. Buy, yes, not good so far. Better hear some positive news soon.

His last few tweets have been about sports betting and some online tournament, etc.. Not the news we need.

ODU coverage is going to take a substantial hit in the next 10 days or so. Fact, not opinion.

True. But it would be nice to have something to cover.
