    Pure speculation

    I've been wrong before (see my prediction about Ferry staying) and I am doing this strictly based on the conjecture of sportswriters offering their opinions. The next Duquesne MBB coach will be:

    Matt Driscoll (the next step up candidate)
    Mike Rice (the reformation candidate)
    Brandin Knight (the rising star candidate)

    One of the three. I would narrow it further to Driscoll or Rice (with Knight as an associate HC).

    No sources involved here. I may be wrong. Just having a little fun.

    I sure hope you're wrong. Driscoll wouldn't even be on the map if he weren't from Pittsburgh. Being from Pittsburgh should be about 999th on the list of reasons to hire a coach. This guy is Jim Ferry part II.  Two winning seasons in eight years. I'd take either of the other two before him.

    Re: Pure speculation

    Just my opinion, but I would rather have Mike Rice if we can't get King Rice, Joe Dooley, or John Becker.  I agree with duq81 that Driscoll would not be on my list, nor Brandon Knight.  Here is hoping the rumor about King Rice being our top candidate is true.

    Rice (King), Kelsey, and Becker.  Those three.  End of story.

    I'm with you 100%. If by chance you can't get one of those three, I could live with John Groce. Not my first choice but he's kind of similar to Anthony Grant in that he didn't get fired for losing, he got fired for not winning at a high enough level, unlike Tony Barbee who was a total failure at Auburn. I don't know if he could get us to the next level, but I'd be surprised if he was a disaster. I could live with a guy who got us Jim Baron type results, and I think Groce would do that.

    Re: Pure speculation

    Groce would be a great "get" for Duquesne, He won big at OU and as stated, didn't win enough at Illinois.  He would instantly give us a legitimate coach and with great incentive to win big to get back into the P-5.

    I truthfully wouldn't have expected us to be in play for Groce except that I've heard rumblings from OU saying that Groce was in the picture with Duquesne.

    Driscoll lost all 3 games against FGCU, and in the A-Sun tourney he got pounded in the second half once Joe Dooley made the adjustments, btw he also had Atlantic Sun player of the year on his squad.

    Gut feeling - nothing to back it up. Pat Kelsey! Fits everything D. Harper said he wants and has been flying under the radar.

    I agree, really hoping that Driscoll is not in the mix.

    Skip Prossers son is on his staff, the one RE thought was a spy when his AD suggested him.

    Re: Pure speculation

    Damn, you guys are making my speculation look bad! Of course, last time I looked stupid on a prediction, it turned out great for Duquesne.

    So, OK, show me up.

    I think we just want your speculation to be wrong.

    Simms, agreed. If I had to handicap, I would put Kelsey at the top (due to his Xavier/A-10 history), then King Rice followed by John Becker.

    I don't want to put the stinkeye on the program. Kelsey, King Rice, and Becker are all darned fine candidates. I'll sit back and wait to be pleasantly surprised.
