Sweeney and Quinn getting mentioned seems good…get Ott and Hetzel out of there.
Yeah, I can't even explain the let down I'll feel if they do the MSU thing again.

That’s not sourced info though…just stein connecting the same dots…my hope is Gregory doesn’t care as much about the MSU connection and he’ll pick the right guy. He hasn’t been at MSU in 20 years

So it sounds like it’s gonna be down to three white guys…Quinn, Sweeney, and Ott. There was talk that they wanted a former player and only Quinn fits that criteria, so it better be him.

Because I mentioned they’re all white? I mean for all the claims of Sarver being a racist, Ishbia has fired the black head coach and black GM that Sarver hired, and hired three white head coaches and a white GM to replace them.

Geez that’s a stretch…. Does it look bad? Sure…. Do you have proof other than optics? It’s dangerous lobbing the racist claim without proof and marginalizes real racist actions.

Don't forget that we also traded Deandre Ayton for two (2!) white guys. That is the sink that I really think we need to let in

I think Gambo said it once…but that was before Gregory was hired and maybe even before Bud was fired.

I don't even know if it was said as a matter of fact, I think it was more of a who can relate to today's players type of suggestion. They've had to 2 dinos who can't so they listed archetypes who might better fit.

I’m not trying to lob a racism claim. Basically just saying it’s something to watch moving forward.

I have no idea what he is, so I’m not making any claims, just saying that it doesn’t look great.
Perhaps it’s also just a coincidence that he’s bringing in all these people from Michigan State?

Come on, man. Those are two totally different things. Isiah Thomas would be our GM right now if it wasn't for the push back Ishbia immediately got.

No. It’s really not. Unless you want to make everything about that and look for problems that aren’t there.
