Love the hire. What are the chances he brings Ware with him?

Welcome Armon.....let's get some portal guys and get this thing turned around.

 

[NYC-Fool]

Oregon signed a top 10 class with 3 top 35 players this year… and considering we could use all the help we can get, this looks like a big positive going into portal season. Fingers crossed.

This is a good hire. Hopefully we get some continuity w the current staff.

Dana Altman is a good coach and he seems like a good guy to work for. Positive sign for the program to be able to get him here.

I am happy with the hire. Did he come here because he likes working with PM so much or did we give him a significantly higher salary than Oregon, or both?

Porter guy. Knows the grind. No idea on salary. Id guess it’s a raise to leave

Good to know that there are still Porter guys out there that want to come back and work. Hope this means recruiting will be pointing up.

 

[OU92Grad]

He has a long list of jobs. Will be here for Porters last year and then be gone. He won’t be here long enough for us to get attached

You must be a hoot at parties.
