If Kevin thinks travel is tough now...

We joke. But Glover was committed to Seton Hall, was with the team for the Blue and White scrimmage on the bench, we were all hoping he would be cleared academically.

It’s not like a player we thought we were going to get and at the last minute took a bag from another school.

He eventually goes onto to play for Iona and be 1st team All MAC 2 years in a row averaging 21 and 11 over those two season.

Ifs and buts….Seton Hall would have been a much different team with Michael Glover eligible to play for 4 years, I don’t doubt that for one minute.

That year Boeheim said he was the best big they played. Glover absolutely torched Syracuse. His stats were off the wall. If he ever played for Gonzo we might have had a different story despite all of Bobby's indiscretions.

Again gonzo era much different if glover is elgible, joey cameron doesnt dissappear quickly, melvyn oliver has a successful weight loss journey

Yup. And if larry davis was 6'11

Dont agree. But if you are right, thankful that glover didnt quality and that bg's strategy re his recruitment made sure he would never play for us

No doubt what Gonzo did challenging the NCAA was plain stupid and it was the reason that after Glover went JUCO he couldn't play for the Hall. But don't doubt the impact he would have had if he came here. His talents, especially at the college level were off the wall.

The program has a grand total of 4 NCAA Tournament wins in 30 years since Carlesimo walked out. 30 years!!! And 1 in the last 20, woof. We haven’t been to a second weekend in 24 years. Now that spans 6 coaches. So the consensus is the school lacks proper institutional support and resources.

Here's some context. We have two NCAA wins since 2004. DePaul has one (2004). And they haven't gotten a bid since.

I would agree the court Gonzo's teams were not horrible, they were bubble teams trying to make the tournament. Seton Hall for many years coaches that had bubble teams that might reach the tournament but barely did.

Willard got to the point where they were still bubble teams but that consistently got into the tournament. That is a MONUMENTAL step when it comes to brand notoriety. In saying that it might even be shorting what he did because if COVID doesn't happen that team had the talent to make a deep run. Granted I do think that team was slumping at the wrong time and I do have my speculations but that's for another conversation.

We were never a bubble team with Gonzo. You might be able to make the argument we were in his last season but that team had no quality OOC wins and won six games against DePaul, SJU, RU and PC, the bottom four teams in the league. 19-12 (10-10) on Selection Sunday probably wasn't that close.

On the other hand, Willard's only real bubble team was his second team, the one that spit up a bid in the last week of the season. All of his NCAA teams were pretty safely in the field by BET time.

Gonzo made a living in the MAAC recruiting guys like Glover. Having players like David Holmes and Luis Flores, better than typical MAAC players, made him a better coach.
