Adding Smithpeters to the staff would be huge IMO. To potentially make good on the Wolves and JALC pipeline would be a game changer. Its a shame SIU hasn't been able to tap into the talent in their own back yard.
Whether or not Smithpeters is in the fold, the JALC players will be back in play. That was SOLELY a Hinson issue.
That's really good to hear.

True, not signing a Logan player the past 7 years is solely a Hinson issue. On the other hand, SIU has only signed 1 player from JALC to a scholarship in the last 25 years. He didn’t play much. This according to my memory. 😎
I just don't understand why some folks think everybody we hire has to have an SIU connection. One of the biggest problems at SIU period is the incestuous nature of the University. I would be more than ok if no other SIU grads were on the staff. The head coach is one, thats plenty for me.
why is everyone so insistent on having a Logan pipeline? you don't build a great program off of the back of a juco program. outside of the emergency we are in right now, i hope we don't have to sign any more during his career here.

I don't think people are insistent on having a Logan pipeline, but it's very reasonable to want the ability to recruit a national Juco powerhouse that is 7 miles away. Especially in the short term, Mullins will have to bring in a juco or two to keep things from dropping off more than they undoubtedly will.
Smithpeters coming on the staff wouldn't create a juco pipeleine, it would bring a young energetic coach with local ties that is an EXCELLENT recruiter.

I don't disagree with you in principle. However, when you have an elite Juco sitting in your back yard and they annually send multiple players to D1 schools, it would be nice to be in on that. Hinson burned his bridges there in Year 1. Not a smart move on his part. He could've used some of those guys.
I will let Bryan decide who he wants and be happy with it

Exactly!
Looking forward to and excited to see who he hires as assistant coaches and see if he can recruit some talent

i have heard people say he burned bridges there in year 1. How did he manage that? What happened?
What did Hinson do?
By the way, may not be the correct thread, but does anyone know the actual buyout $$$$ amount for Hinson? I have heard $150K +/- and I have heard $350K +/-. Kill commented on providing the "full amount" but what is that amount? Just wondering.
