Comings and Goings

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) – Lotsa people comin’ and goin’ in and around Flyerland. Let’s get to it:

-- Welcome to the Dayton family, future Flyer footballer and hoops walk-on Lee Bailey from Detroit Country Day HS, right here in Beverly Hills, MI. Here’s a great story about Lee from his sophomore year, courtesy of Next Generation Hoops:

-- Here’s some video from the All-Michigan Classic, provided by UMHoops.com. It features UM recruit Carlton Brundidge but you can see erstwhile Flyer recruit Percy Gibson (#24 in green) making a left-handed layup and the aforementioned Lee Bailey is probably on there somewhere, too:

BTW, the good lookin’ guy sitting on the first row of the bleachers off to the left at the :02 mark is me.

-- Archie Miller was in Muncie, IN this week to watch 2012 big man Nick Osborne:

-- Archie and the new Flyer hoops staff have recently offered Terry Rozier, a 6’0” 2012 PG recruit from Shaker Heights. This is an interview with him from the Pittsburgh Jam Fest:

-- Have to think that Archie will be among the crowd of coaches looking at 2011 SG Remy Abell from Kentucky who just got his release from his LOI with Bradley:

-- And the recently released Markus Crider of Wayne HS is only a short drive away from UD Arena:

-- Congrats to former UD Assistant Coach Cornell Mann on his new gig at Iowa State. Now stay the heck out of the State of Michigan, Corn! To no one’s surprise, one of the players he recruited to UD, LaDontae “Buckets” Henton is headed to ISU for an official visit this weekend. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

-- Tom Izzo surprised a lot of folks when he hired IPFW Head Coach Dane Fife to replace Mark Montgomery in Spartyland. According to a Tweet by Jim Comparoni at Michigan Prep Stars, the other interviewees were Oakland U assistant Saddi Washington, Adrian College Head Coach Mark White and… former Dayton Associate Head Coach Billy Schmidt!

The Indy Star thinks it’s a good move on Fife’s part:

-- Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports with an updated list of all the coaching staffs at schools who have undergone changes:

-- Mitch McGary the 6’ 10” big man from Chesterton, IN by way of Brewster Academy has gone super big-time. He was on BG’s recruiting radar but Flyer fans can forget about him now, as he has offers from Indiana, Purdue, Miami, Marquette, Maryland, Cincinnati, and Oregon State and interest from Duke, Texas, Florida, FSU, Arizona, Michigan, Illinois, UCONN, and West Virginia. Video highlights:

-- Some great video from the Pittsburgh Jam Fest of Jamar Ergas, the dunkingest 8th grader you will see all week:

-- Yet another article on the problems that the social media create for college coaches, this one from The New York Times:

-- If you’re like me and hate to pay to watch a sporting event -- any sporting event—online, then here’s your replacement for the dearly departed Channelsurfing. net:

Hopefully it is still fully functional when the 2011-12 Flyers hoops season rolls around.

-- My pre-NFL Draft guilty pleasure? Watching episodes of the “Gruden QB Camp” on ESPNU and thinking that crazy, blonde, Chucky-lookin’ mofo who is the President of the “Fired Football Coaches Association” is one of us -- he’s a Flyer!

-- You gotta love The Onion. Here’s a fake story about Butler’s Brad Stevens getting fired for losing two NCAA Championship games in a row:

-- My UD roommate Steve Downes emailed me this the other day -- the purported ‘greatest sports video ever’:

-- This right here is some addictive sh*t -- a live web cam in an eagle’s nest in Decorah, Iowa:

-- So, it turns out that Jack the Ripper probably wasn’t English after all. Most likely he was a German merchant sailor named Carl Feigenbaum, according to research done by this former British murder investigator:

-- Finally, “The Sweet Tweet of the Week” goes to Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com:

“New Pittsburgh assistant Bill Barton starts officially today. Long way from his days at Notre Dame Prep in lovely Fitchburg, Mass.”

Easy there, Goodman…that’s my alma mater you’re talkin’ about there, buddy!

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
