TJ Going to UNLV?

[UWMandSDSU]

I heard from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another that DJJ was not happy to hear Otz was leaving? Not that there was a fallout, but that he transferred there for him, and sat out a year, and now he's leaving.

Again...this is all 3rd hand information. Take it for what it's worth.

See article link in a different thread. Las Vegas news article said their relationship was not good.
*DJJ refutes those claims on his Twitter page.

Otz should be able to tell new recruits that Ames is the end of the road for him. He landed the Big 12 job he wanted 5 years ago. Otz did it on the fast track with 2 stops on the 5 year road. He hit the goal for now. He does a great job of bringing in talent. SDSU and UNLV should both realize their place in his ascension. Both programs have good coaches on the bench to follow his movement. The Jackrabbits did not have as much attrition as UNLV which was well illustrated the past 2 years continued at the top of the Summit.

A Coach fall out?

DJJ won't be going to Iowa State. Who knows where he will go, but it won't be Iowa State.

Will these two make a splash at ISU? I have my doubts.

I was waiting for you to wax poetic with ..."B/c if they did they'd be 'waterspouts'"

You wouldn't think they would give him a second "no sit" transfer. If Jenkins decides to transfer, he should be eligible right away as he sat out a season after leaving here.

That's what I thought too (re. Grill).

Report is that's TBD in April (with same report suggesting NCAA is leaning toward approving exception to allow first time transfer to play immediately). Where it gets tricky for him is that report from The Athletic suggests athletes who will have transferred twice may have to sit a year.

That kid must have whiplash. Does he have to sit out a year? Does anyone have to sit out next year?

Grill enters transfer portal. I would assume heading back to ISU.

Officially, official from Iowa State that TJ is their next head coach.

Really a mess. I would not want to be the bookeeper with 30 million deficit and handling the buyout can’t be easy .

I haven't seen anything mentioned like Pitino's contract stipulation with the Gophers whereby the buyout is nullified when hired for "comparable employment" by another team, although it seems like something TJ should expect in his contract given expedited moves between teams.

Well, don't they say "Ames is the Vegas of the Prairie" (so some might follow him there)?
