Sounds like one of the first head to heads between Willard and Pikell. Although I think both lost out to Ga Tech for a guard last year whose name escapes me.
Great news re: Naz Reid.
But.... Do we not take a Valdir Manuel verbal until Naz Reid decides where to go???
I see Reid as a 5 and Manuel as a 4.

Ok cool. I though Naz was a 4... hope we can get Valdir to verbal before summer. Would be nice to have a 2018 big in the pocket.
Succession planning all begins IMO with Sha. Not sure how big of a jump going from assistant to HC at this level, but since has been part of the fabric of the program for years it shouldn't be too bad.
It's incredible seeing where Sha is now when you think where he was when he left the program under Gonzo to work for Willard at Iona.
It';s like a young kid playing at the lowest level of minor league baseball moving on years later to become a major contributor in the big leagues.
We should all try to hit a Sports U game this Spring/Summer since JQ, Luther and Nazi are likely to commit wherever before next HS season.That game at RC was a great promo for HS players to see how SHU backs up their team. Any time we get a chance to do it, I think we should. Dan did a great job last year and I actually spoke to Quinerly who said to me "Wow you guys really want Tre". I think it spoke worlds about the program.
I wouldn't expect Shaheen going anywhere else if he becomes head coach at Seton Hall,When and if this happens do you see Sha at SHU becoming a Amaker type head coach without the one foot always being out the door?

I think Shaheen is a very loyal individual and with some success, I feel that he would want to have a very long tenure at his alma mater.When and if this happens do you see Sha at SHU becoming a Amaker type head coach without the one foot always being out the door?
From a distance, I don't. I'm assuming this question was somewhat rhetorical but also meant to invite some debate. I just hope the timing all comes together so that when KW is no longer our coach, we haven't had lost Sha before then. Even so, I think he'd end up back here at some point. I have no idea how he'd ultimately be as a BE HC, but I would take my chances with him. I also find it funny that some dismiss him as a potentially great HC to lead us forward. Worth the gamble, if it's even considered that at this point.When and if this happens do you see Sha at SHU becoming a Amaker type head coach without the one foot always being out the door?
I am still a bit uncomfortable with Sha as HC. It s a huge step to being HC to a major D-1 school. You would need to surround him with experienced assistants who have had head coaching experience. For example, Sha as HC and Mike Rice the top assistant. It can be done but it has to be done right.
That is why to me he is The Great Shaheen.
Chris Mack had no head coaching experience prior to being hired by Xavier. Sean Miller moved on to Arizona and Mack stepped right in without missing much of a beat.
No reason why Sha couldn't do the same if things played out in a similar fashion.
Sha is and has been the key for this program. Glad he is starting to getting the recognition and not being damned when people critique the HCs he has worked underSuccession planning all begins IMO with Sha. Not sure how big of a jump going from assistant to HC at this level, but since has been part of the fabric of the program for years it shouldn't be too bad.
