Dude was a GRAD ASSISTANT. When have you ever seen a grad assistant recruit? lol That's about as bad as me having something to say about Witter when he was a frosh. aahhbigboy, an assistant is an assistant. i knew he was a grad assistant! grad or paid, he was an assistant. so i don't buy that argument. besides, yo azz didn't know he was a grad assistant until thomas pointed it out! otherwise you would have pointed it out before he did. stop faking the funk! all "assistants" have impact on recruiting. and stop trying to pit me against robinson, i've already said he deserves whatever opportunities he can get...

You're losing it a lilttle bit oldeschool. You're usually a bit sharper than this. It would be different if I posted BEFORE Roy Thomas. It's been in his bio for the last 4-5 years that he was a grad assistant. Plus, I was at the games (with the regular bleachers in the reserve section, lol) when he was a grad asst. So don't give me that man. And no one is pitting you against Robinson. You made a super dumb statement affiliating him with Wide Legs. You did that, no me. And what do you mean all assistants have an impact on recruiting. You are really showing your lack of knowledge. Grad assistants don't recruit. They can't offer a kid. They do the courier work for the most part. Did a grad assistant call and recruit your daughter when she was goingt through the process? You probably didn't even know who the grad asst was. lol C'mon oldeschool.

This would be a good time for A&T to make an official announcement about Robinson leaving. I know A&T hates making official announcements for some reason, but this situation warrants it. Throw in some flowery quotes from Bibbs about how much of an asset he was to her staff and how she wishes him success in his new job. Ahhbigboy should not be the one breaking this story on a fan message board. When you don't have an official statement from the school, it leaves room for rumors and conjecture.
This should be a reason to celebrate, not a cause for debate.

Yeah, but if a kid does't come to a school, is it the grad assistant's fault? Hell, the secretary will say one or two swaying words to a kid on a visit. Is he/she responsible for recruiting? When a kid visits Craig Hall and a professor's says something good about the school, is he recruiting. Give me a break man. You know just like I do, that you won't find a grad assistant making calls, sitting in living rooms, talking to high school coaches etc. That's actively defined as recruiting. This is one of those times that you know you sound stupid and can't back away. Everyone up here knows that grad assistants aren't responsible for recruiting. Bringing that up against one of the greatest coaches to ever work at our school is mind boggling.

Dude, you're all over the place. Yes, grad assistants do talk to kids when they come to campus. If you want to count that as recruiting, then I digress. Bibbs should hire her grad assistant to replace Robinson because grad assistants are the centerpiece of the recruiting process. I mean, I heard that Roy Williams just doubled his grad assistant's salary for his key role in landing Ty Lawson 3 yrs ago. I heard that Calapari wasn't going to take the Kentucky job until Kentucky offered his grad assitant a Bentley for recruiting. So, I guess I see you point now.

how many other meac coaches have accomplished what bibbs and bozeman have accomplished? bare in mind there's 24 head basketball coaches in the meac.
it ain't about what bozeman or bibbs has accomplished, its about who in the meac has accomplished more than eaves. now after you point out 3 or 4 coaches, what about the other 20?
no one has blinders on, folks are just realistic...
Jackson at Del State, look at Coppin State's womens coach, Bobby Collins when he was at Hampton. Point is this guy hasnt done anything! I asked you to give me a list of what he has accomplished since he took over. Im still waiting on that list. Maybe you are too busy cutting Eaves grass, get at me when you can name something he has accomplished

Yea grad assistants may spend time and talk to a recruit at the small schools. At the "big boy" schools they are too busy fetching lunch and getting coach's car washed to look at a recruit.
Oldschool put that weed eater down and give me some accomplishments!!!!! I dont wanna hear how he has improved year to year. What has he accomplished? Nothing!
I understand that Eaves may have let your kids attend the Aggie Basketball camp at a discounted rate, but lets be for real. Dude hast done anything. I bet you wanted Fobbs to stay too hugh?

Outside of budgetary issues, it's supporters of mediocrity like oldeschool and Jazz that enable below average coaches to stay around longer than they should. This same fan based pushed Corbett, Capel, Thomas, Hayes, and Small out the door, but I've gotta hear about admin and facilities when it comes to Eaves. It's retarded.

I remember Texas A&M has a press release on their website when Fobbs got the A&T job. Even though I was told by a decent source that Franchoine fired Fobbs that offseason, he still had a few quotes in the release praising Fobbs' contributions.
Standard practice ... for most bigtime schools.

truthseeker yea Fobbs firing is coming back to bite u in the azz, but look at the athletics dept over the last 10 years! How many different coaches and AD's? ? Who hired Fobbs, thats the problem? They are placing people in positions they cant handle and have no business holding.Why would you hire a coach with no head coaching experience?? Idiotic at best. You see Texas A&M on a resume and sign him. Is it safe to say that Steve Davis at Dudley could do what Fobbs did in his tenure? ? Im sure he would have done better but he couldnt have been any worse.

What possess you to say such a ridiculous thing? 3 of the 5 would tell you to your face that I would not suggest such a stupid thing. The other two don't know me but I would not have suggested their firings or 'forced outs' either.
