Re: Dru Joyce III - Duquesne's New Head Coach
Congratulations to new head coach Dru Joyce III. May he & the program experience many years of prosperity & winning!
I wonder why PSN/Zach don't have a story yet.

Re: Dru Joyce III - Duquesne's New Head Coach
Good luck Dru.i think he will keep moving Duquesne forward . He can do it with some fundraising to be
competitive with NIL money to offer players and fans showing up the Coop.

Re: Dru Joyce III - Duquesne's New Head Coach
Here's hoping that the coaching announcement & Adou Thiero's entering the portal on the same day is not a coincidence. Go get him Dru! Steal him from Pitt!

Re: Dru Joyce III - Duquesne's New Head Coach
Great news and well deserved hire by the Dukes. Now let's go out and get more A-10 banners to hang in the Coop. Adding LeBron James as a source of NIL funding is a huge plus moving forward for Dru and Duquesne basketball. This hiring will allow Dru to hit the ground running and get after it, as soon as possible.
GO Dukes!

Re: Dru Joyce III - Duquesne's New Head Coach
These last two years he has been on staff have been the best two years back to back in 50 years. You got to believe he had a contribution to that turnaround. He has some work to do filling in the missing pieces, but after this late season success, he has some tools to work with. We all are excited and are behind him. Go Dru !

Re: Dru Joyce III - Duquesne's New Head Coach
MY WISH LIST:
1. Experienced, 6'2" or taller starting PG with at least 2 years of eligibility
2. Master recruiter with deep east coast & southern ties from a high level program
3. Knock-down 3pt shooting preferably from new players & improvements on the part of Hronsky, Jake, Rozier, & Necas.
4. Physical & mental development from Chabi & Dixon that forces DJ to have them on the court 25-27 minutes per game.
5. At least one portal stud of the quality that the program has not previously been able to get; the best player Lebron's money can buy!
6. A modern offense that utilizes player movement, ball movement, drive/kick technique, & outstanding execution.
7. Very thorough evaluation of for fit for the 2 commits from the previous regime. For different reasons, I have questions about both Dom A. & Brandon H.
8. If current scholarship players are entering the portal or being encouraged to do so they need to do that ASAP.
