You are correct, I have no idea what Blatt is doing. Just hope he has an idea. And yes I admit frustration in thinking this should be done, but if we are waiting a week to hire Willie Fritz, that to me is a let down.
All I am saying is the players are acting like 18-19 year olds when it comes to instability. Players can come back, the portal isn't just an off ramp. All Im saying is this could have been minimized when you had a month to prepare for it.
How is this outside of his control? He knew he had one job when he was hired, how many programs have already hired their coach, thus minimized instability. He needed to be prepared to make this call when the season ended, now he is looking like the first time AD that he is. We can't afford...
The coaching search is a factor, the team wanted Key and they don't want to wait around and play for someone they don't like. Not saying its right, but its the game now.
Why would a player not declare for the portal? You can always come back. If you don't like the hire, go find another school. I predict between 15-20 players transfer and we lose about 5 commits if we hire anyone but Key. But thats the chance you take.
Pissing off anyone willing to donate money to the GTAA sounds like a recipe for disaster for a cash strapped program. Tech is not capable of an IPTAY type program as we just don't have the base to support that. We can't even raise 2.5 million for a scholarship fund.
