'16 Australia PF Harry Froling (Verbal to SMU)

Given he has family there, it isn't a surprise. Still, not sure I would personally go to a school that I know is one slip up away from another post season ban.
Well that was fun

Larry Brown is 73. I would question if he is going to be coaching me at age 77 if I were to sign at SMU.

I'll be 77 in June ... workout three times a week and walk the dog 2 1/2 miles every day ... still working and feeling great. Age is a number.
I agree with you about questioning if Larry is still there in 4 years, especially with sanctions coming down eventually.
Also worth considering though if Froling expects to be there in 4 years. Big man with some touch and athletic enough play a 4 or a 5. He may be expect to be in the NBA long before Larry is 77.
Hi. I noticed your roof recently was damaged in a hail storm. I can be over there tomorrow with a crew and we will replace the entire roof for 1/3 the cost of anyone. Great deal right? Just need a Paypal payment of 1152.21 so I can buy the materials to get started. Let me know, I have 6 other offers on the books and others are pouring in! Start tomorrow?

Thanks, but I have a composite roof that hall stones just bounce off of ... but you are welcome to climb up and jump off of it ... Go Buffs
Actually, Larry is 75 and will be turning 76 when Mr. Froling steps on campus next September. I'm surprised this hasn't hurt recruiting more, but this may be the last year it doesn't.

It's not so much Larry Brown's age but the fact that he hasn't lasted more than 6 yrs at any coaching job in his 44 yrs of being a head coach. Next season will be LB's 5th season at SMU. If he stays for all of Froling's career, it will be his longest tenured HC job ever. Now add in the loss of scholarships, probation, & his age.
You know, I'm sure that every program that goes up against SMU negative recruits on Larry's age. And he's had no trouble getting dudes. Obviously he and the program have a good answer for this. Probably related to his bench coach being the heir apparent and leaving a head coach job for this position at SMU.

Or maybe just "I'm the greatest living basketball coach on the planet and you may be the last player to ever play for me"?
Or the $.
I debated whether or not to go with the sarcasm font.
Yeah, the number they're engraving on your tombstone in preparation for your eminent demise...
Larry is old.
