Fee is Gone

I'd say it's obvious he wants to be a D1 HC.

Hiring a D1 assistant is always way safer for an AD than hiring a risky D2 coach. This was the right move if the end goal was to get his own D1 program.

he's made it very known that's his goal (even in his farewell message he said " as i take another step toward my professional goal"

Jakus is making more than Dusty was (per year), so I'd assume Fee is up, too.

In 2022 (the newest data available), the highest paid assistant men's basketball coach at FAU made a little over $90k. I imagine he was able to get north of $100k.

Yes I posted right when he left that he was going there lol I was just saying it was officially announced

That would fit the Florida mode. The amount of development going on there is unbelievable. I'd be surprised if that state isn't an environmental disaster within 15-20 years. They've gone from a state that had fewer people than Pennsylvania when I worked there in the early '70s to about 23 million now.

The way the ocean is rising, the only thing left in about 50 years will be Disney World...It's in one of the highest spots in the state.

As anticipated, Fee was announced as FAU assistant coach.

Jakus is officially introduced (to everyone) as HC at FAU tomorrow. It is expected Fee will be named an assistant in the next 2 weeks.

Nova is in a different world than most D2 schools, certainly than most of those in the PSAC. During the title game, it was announced that enrollment there is 20,000. That's larger than a helluva lot of schools playing D1 ball. Minnesota State's enrollment is 14,000. These are basically large colleges playing small-college ball.

Nova Southeastern has been very successful in the online world similar to Liberty and Southern New Hampshire but at a smaller scale. In Fall 2022, they reported almost 21,000 students - but just 6,971 undergrads.

I'd venture to guess they'll be moving up soon.

Going to school there (compared to our campuses) is just on a different level.

I did...But there is a HUGE difference between leaving WLU to go to the warmth and sunshine of South Florida (not to mention the nearly unlimited (in DII terms) at Nova) and leaving WLU to go to the frozen shores of Lake Erie!!! I lived a couple of years up by lake Erie...NOT somthing I want to repeat and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!

Speaking of 'gone', the Tropicana (Vegas) closed yesterday. Talk about the end of an era.

It's one of the last dinosaurs on the strip and will soon be demolished.

Whitley and Omojafo just went in the Portal.

However, they were KJ recruits.

Rumors are Omajafo is eyeing D1. I just don't think he'll fare well at that level. He was a very good D2 player, but not dominant.

Whitley and Omojafo just went in the Portal.

However, they were KJ recruits.

Whitley is not a great loss but Obojafo was a starter who averaged 20 PPG. Actually four of the five starters will not be back next year (three grad transfers plus Obojafo). Only returning starter is James. The other 8 returners collectively had 5 starts and averaged between 8 and 1.4 PPG.

Fee KILLED it in the Grad Transfer "portal."
