Mike Davis

[Titans03]

I don’t believe so, but he did tweet an edit with him and a texas southern logo in the background.

[titanmike]

Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed.

I want to believe this. How would you (or, your sources) explain Antoine's posts about playing for TSU? Still seems like something is not adding up.

[Titans03]

I agree. Not that I don’t trust titanmike, but something seems to not add up. The other 2 juco transfers also show no signs of coming to Detroit on their twitter accounts. Not a follow of the MBB page. Nothing. They both still say TSU commit.

I dont buy it. If this were the case (I wish it was), why all the changes on Twitter? Not even one single mention of us in correlation. Short of getting Davis or Pitino...I'm basically casting us out. Going to lose a lot [more] of the fan base as well if they hire a rebuild guy. Not saying a rebuild guy couldn't win down the road, but I think a lot patience and trust has been lost lately. We want wins now.

To be fair, it’s not like Vowels is leaking anything, or we’re getting much coverage on twitter anyways.

Paterno? I think I could out-coach Joe Paterno now. And, personally, if Rick Pitino shows up then I'll be redirecting all my support to other sports.

[TitanONeill]

Oops. Fixed.

[Titans03]

Any updates?

Any updates?

Calm down. It's only June 5th.

[Titans03]

Why rush it?

June 5, 2018 - Let's be precise so we aren't confused when we scan back from page 651 of this thread to see what was said earlier.

Good point. Hopefully we get a coach this year. As reported on the other board, the official TSU athletics twitter account recently started following UDM MBB and UDM Athletics. Totally weird. What Up With That?

If Davis is the new coach, there could be a delay in the announcement because Davis's college coach at Alabama, C. M. Newton, died yesterday. And they may be waiting for information on any funeral services so Davis can attend.

Per twitter

@TXSOTigers VP/athletics Dr. Charles McClelland says Detroit Mercy (@DetroitMBB) has asked for and received permission to speak with Tigers basketball coach Mike Davis. https://t.co/aqDRpFnK7E

On the other Titan message board, Hyperion posts:

“Have patience grasshoppers. Lighting will strike in very early July, not anytime before that. You have my word.”

Perhaps Davis is contractually bound to TSU thru June 30, 2018, a very common end date for university contracts.

Except that he has already been spoken too.

Note that the TxSU statement does not say when we asked for and received permission to speak with Davis about the head coach job.

Why rush it?

I agree. Assuming that the season starts on the same day as last year, November 18th, then we still have 166 days to go. Plenty of time to form a search committee, interview candidates, make offers, make counter-offers, piss off prospects, interview new candidates, make new offers, make new counter-offers, piss off new prospects, watch scholarship athletes transfer, lose out on incoming transfers, practice together, get players accepted into the University, get Carleton Brundage his 6th year of eligibility, etc.etc.

True.
