Which one?

Ha, forgot a specification was necessary. The Virginia Tech assistant. Former DeMatha head coach, not current.

Congrats to Skinn. Hopefully he does good things at George Mason and keeps moving up.

[BSLZackKiesel]

A few low-level programs are sniffing around Grant Billmeier for open head coaching positions. He’d likely have to take pay cuts for them from what he’s making as a Maryland assistant, but slight possibility he goes elsewhere.

That's what I figured. Though IIRC the current one has roots in Alexandria, which was Dickinson's hometown.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Duane Simpkins named as American’s head coach. He was in play to potentially replace Skinn.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Mike Jones is a top candidate to replace Skinn on Willard’s staff. That would obviously only increase the chances Dickinson chooses Maryland, given the DeMatha connections.

Jones has officially been hired by Willard. This is a huge addition, as he'll bring the same sort of local recruiting star power that Skinn did.

I mean, there's no way Hunter Dickinson can come here after all that's went down, right?  Right?

Mike Mussina and Johnny Damon went to the Yankees...

Dickinson with Reese and Young is a National contender... but man, that is hard to picture. 

Obviously Young and Dickinson have a relationship. 

Seems like MD would be setting themselves up for the ultimate troll job to go and tell Dickinson how much they want him. 

 

Of course if you are Willard, the pitch is pretty simple... 

 

- I wasn't here, of course I want you...

- You get to return home, and play with Young... 

- With you; Reese + Young, and our incoming class.... that's a team that can have real aspirations.

How often do guys transfer within the conference. It can happen and probably has happened but if Dickinson left Mich on good terms that wouldnt go over well there. A kick in the balls on the way out the door.

All the time now. 

[TwentyThirtyFive]

All the time now.

We sure about that

[BaltBird 24]

Evan Smotrycz left Michigan for Maryland, albeit the year before Maryland was in the B10.

[BSLChrisStoner]

We sure about that

Yeah, schools used to be able to limit that and guys had to sit out a year if within the same conference. Not the case now. At least some conferences like the SEC have eliminated that rule.

Miller Kopp did 3 years as a starter at NW and then went right straight to IU for two years

Not sure if it was all conferences, but I think the ACC used to make you sit TWO years to transfer in conference. So it never happened during that time.

Using last year's transfers and however 247Sports ranks players once they're already in school

 

#2 ranked player in the portal went from ISU to Texas

#5 player went from SMU to Memphis

#8 player went from TTU to Kansas

#11 player went from Mizzou to Arkansas

Sulaimon was a weird situation, but he transferred to Maryland from Duke when both teams were still in the ACC.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Fair enough

Nevermind, that was the year MD switched conferences, so not an intra-conference transfer
