Sounds like Calipari, Turgeon, Self, and Wright really bent Orsini's and the big money donors ears. That is after everyone else turned us down LOL. But it was a good situation because he had no place to go and we had no other major candidates. Looks like it may have just been divine fate.

So Markus left Villanova for SMU, we all know that. I guess his buddy and friend Jay was cool with it. I wonder how that conversation went. ?

Markus was about 290 and not very agile back then so Jay Wright probably had no issues with him leaving.


Jay wanted him to stay. Markus had a pretty good frosh year, despite being stuck behind a very productive incumbent big in yarou

Glad Jay at least had no issues with him coming to SMU.

Really really nice show for LB, SMU, and SMU B-Ball. I've always liked LB, like him more every time I hear him speak. I can see why young guns want to play for him. 8 more years would be nice, but probably not realistic ... not that he would leave and he is a young 73, but 8 more years at 73 ... a lot goes on in that time. I'm happy for today ... and if LB the and Good Lord give us tomorrow ... bonus time baby

Interesting. I bet they wish he had stayed...according to the piece, Markus followed LB from his relationship in practice. Pretty cool

That was a great piece.
Pinching myself to see our campus & school on national TV like that.
Larry being here truly seems meant to be.

Yeah, I am salivating to watch it, but not currently in a part of the world that has HBO so any tips on where to find it online would be greatly appreciated.

HBO Go app ... Just find a buddy willing to lend you his login. Or call your provider. They usually do three months free.

Still cannot believe that Orsini didn't give Larry a "courtesy" interview. How stupid can you be? Not like he was playing it close to the vest trying to interview every other employed coach in the country.
