Ashley Schaffer BMW coaching candidate of the week: Bryce Drew Valpariaso

[AshleySchaffer]

How much would Ole Miss fans hate this hire? Drew currently has VALPO at 20-10 (13-4)and first place in their conference the Horizion(same as Butler) He is young and entergetic, a solid recruiter,a former college star, son of a coach, brother of a D1 coach (Scott Drew at Baylor) and NBA veteran.

I think he fits us to a T. What do you guys think, and I can't wait to hear Coach34's opinon on Drew.

There's a lot that goes into deciding that. Youguys love to jump the gunin these coaching discussions. How many games have you watched them play this year? Hemight be a good one butit's really hard to say. That's why we have an athletic department. All I careabout is something changing. There needs tobe major changes, whatever they decide that should be. And that remains the same no matter what happens the rest of the season.

Call me crazy, but I think he would be a Mullen type hire if we were to get him

 

[RebelBruiser]

just as a twice a year reminder for us.

I hate that guy for no personal reasons whatsoever. I even cheer against his brother with my sports angst.

This is how you do it, folks.

I found out doing some research that Drew's wife is the Daughter of Keith Thibadeaux who played little Ricky in I Love Lucy. He supposedly is from and lives in Jackson.

excellent candidate. Imagine if he is as good as his dad or brother or even better then MSU has a basketball coach for the next 30 years. It's worth the risk imo.

 

[AshleySchaffer]

They improved to 21-10 (15-3) and are the outright Horizion League Champs

 

[DAWG61]

almost any coach MSU hires is going to be an unknown risk and Bryce has all the signs pointing to him being successful. He's not going to turn down $1.5+ from MSU.

Where ya at C34????

 

[Coach34]

He is having a good season- he made a great shot that still makes me smile

I'd have to study up on him- I really havent yet

His brother transitioned well from Valpo to Baylor.
