A D III FB program probably brings 70-100 players to campus, plus coaches and support.

When will there be targeted efforts, programs, outreach to recruit more men?

AKA 'business model'?

When is the signing date for hoops?

If true, it's bad. We are in woke times. Imagine Bobby Knight today.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be "alleged"?

Colleges looking for a way to correct this imbalance:

Azusa Pacific:

Male Students: 32%
Female Students: 68%

We have a lot of hoop alums who have had success.

Gus Argenal at DII CSUSB has been successful and previously was an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas, "where he helped lead the Razorbacks to a Sweet Sixteen and an Elite Eight appearance" over two seasons. He won 23 games this year, and 27 last year, only losing the championship game.

Some are high on Brandon Laird, now at Idaho. Local guy.

Danny Yoshikawa has spent 5 years at St. Mary's College. As head coach at West Valley College (Saratoga) he recorded a 144-47 record for a .753 winning percentage over five seasons. He also coached in Japan for two years, and logged time at UCSB and USF. SMC: "He compiled an impressive 100-29 overall record in his four years as a player, and as a senior, was honored as the Conference Player of the Year and UC Davis Athlete of the Year."

There's at least another six promising coaches.

What are his strengths? Nobody has courted him, and I believe he's the only 4 year SA to not make the rotation in decades.

"Les, also a standout guard for BU in the 1980s, had three years left on his Bradley contract when he was fired on March 6 after nine seasons as head coach."

His last year was his worst, he went 12-20 / 4-14. The 4 conference wins and 9th place finish - both his worst marks in nine years.

I believe he returned to Sacramento as he kept his home in Granite Bay.

Let's be fair to Coach Stewart:

- Coach Stewart had the highest winning percentage of any coach in transition history (pre UCSD)

- "In all, the Aggies won more games than any other four-year transition program with Stewart at the helm"

- Had the lowest budget and coaching salaries in DI

- He taught four PE1 classes per year

- He beat Stanford

- "Stewart made an immediate impact on the Aggie program in 2003-04. Taking over a team that finished three games under .500 the previous season, he guided UC Davis to an 18-9 record and a 15-7 mark in the Division II powerhouse California Collegiate Athletic Association." (UC Davis Athletics)

ABE was 2-3% for both the general student body and athletics. Then the rate doubled for ICA (around 2012) when Warzecka stepped down, we had an interim AD, and ICA bypassed the Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) and went directly to admissions. I believe this was documented by the Academic Senate. I've been told MBB was part of that situation.

The ABE often covers solid student-athletes who are simply short one class, or some other modest hurdle they don't currently meet. We're not recruiting SA in can't fog a mirror and have a 2.3 GPA.

Les has had special (ABE?) admits.

Our record has been mediocre. Les at times has had a lot of player turnover, not typical for Davis. We succeed w a star player. The town, campus, and facilities are solid, and we saw no recruiting bump w the new High Performance facility. The team seems to lack passion, and our assistant coaches aren't in demand.

+1.

We do well when we have a star player - Corey Hawkins (connection), Moneke, TJ Shorts. One or two teammates took questionable medical redshirt to play w Hawkins senior year. But it's unlikely we win many tourney games playing small ball.

69aggie: My colleagues who have met Les don't describe him as likable. Townies mention he still lives in Granite Bay.

Ty had a good year, but I wouldn't put him among our top ever guards.

Site?

One of the benefits of Big guys.

Six million dollars on a newer facility, for a small subset of a small subset.

Who pays the bill if / when an assault occurs?

Safety should be the #1 concern, not posturing. I believe the MU has a gender neutral restroom, the same could have been added at a much smaller cost while still honoring privacy conventions.

Announcers said 4,000 attendance? Cooper came up big rebounding. Ty not a scorer like Hawkins or Payne, opponents have him figured out. Seville also off night.
