You have to be concerned about out two signees from Michigan, though I believe they are Ingram recruits.

If K does head west, I am perfectly comfortable with Justin Ingram as the next Rocket head coach !!
He could do great things primarily his recruiting contacts and not to mention his playing legacy !!

TK staying, perfectly fine with it. Let’s hit the portal now, guys already committing, time to make our moves to replace some production.

Who knows who to believe right now. Lots of "insiders" giving contradictory "insight". I'm good with TK staying but also OK if he leaves and we elevate our assistant core. Massey is the vet but he has more of a role player personality and function on the staff. Ingram would seem to be the guy most likely to retain continuity and also have a HC approach-he's moving in that direction. Lauf is probably a few years away from being ready but could move up a chair.

If TK stays I wonder how much family (his and that of his assistants) played a role-or maybe USU just went in a different direction. We have a uniquely stable staff w close personal and professional relationships. Maybe TK was good w a move to the small town Rockies but his fam and assistants less sure.

Look forward to some clarity. We got 2 great signees committed and want to keep them. Also need to work the portal and get a good guard or two in place to cushion the portal losses.

Rowland also tweeted that he has spoken to TK and confirmed he is staying.

It took him a week?

Maybe coach only decided today. You don't know.

Glad Coach K is staying!

I hope we can get the backstory to how close TK was to getting offered this job as it sounded from most sources that he was a top candidate. With that drama out of the way, we can get back to the important business of who Toledo is going to get in the Transfer Portal to replace Moss, Maddox, and Wight. There is some optimism regarding Tyler Cochran returning to Toledo but it is not a sure thing.

Looks like the other Tod(d) is staying put, too. I hope Rowland, Briggs, Burwell etc. can get the story on the entire Utah State saga as it pertains to both Tod and Todd.

To me this is good news.

I agree…. Maybe he will be re-energized by the experience. Let’s get to work!!!

TK say we can be better next year- let’s make it happen. I like him and believe he can get us over hump. He’s a worker. Let’s go

Good news! Now let's build the roster.

Totally agree to the naysayers be careful what you wish for you may get it. All of us are frustrated by not getting to the big dance but we will get there very optimistic about next season. Hope we find a big man in the portal.

Does that make EJ Farmer a free agent?

With the transfer portal, I’d say everyone’s a free agent these days!
