Let’s use this thread to discuss Paulsen’s staff. Three assistants plus a DOBO.
Four names I’ll throw out:
Bryson Johnson — UVM assistant
John Carroll — former longtime NMH coach (Jared, your thoughts?)
Zack Curran — Air Force assistant (worked with HCDP at Mason)
Cameron Ayers — Lafayette assistant
Might he retain RJ Evans?

Let's see if this changes in the next few days I noticed that, it also still has Bo on the roster as a senior...... very intriguing I'd assume he is still in school, still on scholarship, until he withdraws from school...He has not committed anyplace..I'm hopeful he will return for his senior season.....However, I'd understand if he still left and got 2 seasons in that will earn him an undergrad and a masters degree (he gets a covid season, so he has 2 years of play left)..

As others have pointed out, can you get a BA/BS degree while only attending a school for your senior year. I don't think you can at HC.

Yes you can get a BA/BS degree from many schools attending only one year, IF the school accepts your credits and has no rules prohibiting one year of attendance...I understand HC requires at minimum 2 years of in person attendance....

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Brian Blaney as AHC.

Believe he’s headed to DC with Cooley.

Believe he’s headed to DC with Cooley. He definitely is, along with the rest of the staff.

Guess who qualifies to spend one year at HC and walk at graduation with a diploma in hand? Joe P, Luc, Drew Lowder, Jud Martindale, Bubba, RJ, etc. Some decent firepower in the group. But how does the new HC coaching staff initiate contact if they are interested in discussing this with a player?

I don't think so. Especially since other than Pridgen and Lowder, the people you listed signed up to play for that historically bad w-l record. Also, nothing changed in the place they signed up for after the transfer. I would think the guys who transferred in to HC would have a more legitimate shot at a waiver. Next season won't be what they signed up for. The last time I looked at the rule on the NCAA website, there was a FAQ section on the new rule. It specifically mentioned people like Dorsey and Octave that they cannot transfer a second time without the sit out year, even if there is a new coach. In my opinion, a new coach whom I've never met at my old school does not and should not merit a waiver

It is my understanding that a lot of coaches have inquired about joining DP’s staff.

How about former HC player Bubba Humphrey who played two years at HC and then spent this past season playing for a Community College? He hasn't played for another four year school since leaving Holy Cross. What if he smartly applied for a one year leave of absence last Spring, leaving the door open to return if he suffered a basketball career ending injury or something, and doesn’t even need to apply for a transfer if he wants to return?

I don't know who the best trio of assistants would be, but I'm glad we have a coach who won't be forming a staff for the first time. The usual benefit of keeping one member of the former staff to make the roster comfortable may not be as important this time. It is hard to know if any of the former assistants is one of the top three candidates available in the country. But DP should definitely know how to knit together a good staff by now.

Fair point. I believe Humphrey, having not attended another four year school, would be eligible to play next year at Holy Cross - or any other D-I school

It's possible DP doesn't evaluate him as one of the best available players in the country. I'd love to see the player departures from HC cease and think Bo is a qualified PL rising senior, but that may not be a factor to our new coach.

Actually I think I did see this on Crossports.😬 Thanks. That's good interest for Bo. But if Dave wants him, it would appear from the outside to be less complicated to stay and graduate from HC next Spring. No asterisks needed when describing your college basketball career for the next sixty years.

To get back to the original topic of this thread for a second, I thought it was interesting that RJ got a shout out today.
