Whose It Gonna Be?

[GlennW]

@GlennW - you've said many times that you're a lawyer. As such, you know how important wording is. Please note the bolded underlined word compared to your sources.

Peters coming along is a good possibility, given the well-documented strong relationship he has with his coach. While I hope it ends up being the case and there appears to be a high likelihood, it's not a lock.

Thanks.

That's WHAT's being reported, not what I'M claiming as I'm not personally in on any negotiating. I'm just passing along snippets as I'm finding them that I thought some of you might find of interest. It's also being reported Capel (Duke) has "withdrawn" his name from our search which normally happens prior to someone else being formally named.

What was reported, from the same source you & I both read, was "good possibility". Not "will". You know that's a huge difference, given your legal background. I'm just asking that we all be more careful ahead of the announcement, myself included.

No reason to believe this isn't all going down the way we hope, but things are always subject to change ahead of a press release.

lol, thanks Glenn for repeating what was already said...btw the players don't know, not sure why that was said.

Good grief. You're worse than my wife. How many sites are you pulling from?

 

[first&ten]

Capel "withdrawing" is a good sign for Drew. Unless there is a much bigger name out there that hasn't made up their mind if they have been offered.

I am surprised no one has yet commented re the title of this thread.

 

[Peacone36]

I did! I did!

Lol. Wording does matter tho.

 

[GlennW]

WOW...looks like he just reneged on our agreement and is signing with Vandy...could be ugly.

 

[gtfan088]

Or there was no agreement.

 

[GlennW]

Or there was no agreement.

According to multiple GA Tech "Insider" Sites, there was a verbal Agreement in place and being announced after the Final Four. Now, we're seeing this and probably being confirmed:

 

[GlennW]

Good "Christian" to go back on his word...not the kind of person I want leading my Team. Vandy can have him.

There were multiple denials of deal from Valpo sources on Saturday. I wouldn't be making it personal about Drew without knowing what really happened.

They probably came to a verbal agreement. Bobblehead shook Bryces hand and slapped his wife's @$$.

Bryce took exception

Fwiw, I don't give MBob enough credit not to swing and miss on that too.

 

[Lawyer mark]

Slapping his wife's a$& was the only thing on this forum to make me smile today. Thanks for that!!'

 

[orientalnc]

In two threads we have different posters saying they are certain it's Drew. Since none of the people who actually know are saying anything, this is what we have. I will be glad when this is announced. I need to mow the lawn.

A lot happened since we were certain Drew was coming to Tech. I wonder if we will ever know what it was?

Yeah, Bryce was mad he didn't get his hiney smacked too. (Heigh-ohhh! I'm here all week, folks).

So, who's it gonna be? Well, I got a new list since we're in desperation mode.
- Larranaga
- Lonergan
- Keatts and
- Rice

We'd save face with any of those. An argument could be made each is a better candidate than the guy who was scared to coach in the big league (yeah, I'm going there. spite is a bittersweet nectar).

 

[Peacone36]

id assume roll the dice on Laranaga. Screw it. Maybe you get him cheap. Put a ****ing all star recruiting crew around him and see what happens. He's supposed to be a hot shot. Let's find out

 

[Techster]

I agree with Laranaga. NBA guy who's well respected for his acumen, and put him with assistants who can recruit. I always thought he had a high upside, but maybe the lowest floor between the Drew/Capel/JL trio.

I think he would do a lot better on the recruiting trail than most suspect. Young guy, with first hand knowledge of developing NBA players plays well with teenagers. I would rather take a shot with JL than go the Pat Kelsey or older re-tread route.

Let's hope MBob didn't put his eggs in one basket. This is teetering on embarassing if GT starts getting turned down left and right by real and media perceived candidates.
