Nice story about Ron Everhart, who used to be HC at Duquesne, and his role with Huggins.

Related story about the program at the bottom that continues the saga about the Dukes program and lack of vision. Can keep hiring and firing coaches like this who are good men and good mentors but you got to fix the vision before subjecting another good coach to a bad program never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

In 2000 Danny Nee got dumped at Nebraska and found a home at Robert Morris. He proceeds to go 7-22 and then Duquesne buys him out of his contract. He then goes 41-103 there.

They're looking to re-create those models but I think Duquesne is just a different deal. Last NCAA appearance was 1976. Everhart probably did the best job of anyone in the last 35 years. Too much heavy lifting required. Even Dambrot wouldn't touch this job. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

I have a friend who is a Duquesne grad (and an Ohio PHd student whom you met with me in Indy last year) who can attest to the lack of vision that occurs for the Dukes from above. It's too bad, because they're in a place where they could do really well with a little winning and better job of selling the program to the city.

The campus experience is not great. It's in the city but is sequestered and not that walkable to where kids would want to go. Pittsburgh, for some reason, does not have a lot of DI basketball talent. They play second fiddle to Pitt in the area and the media. Pitt gets NBA type box scores and front page stories, even commentary about the state of the program. Duquesne is buried in the media, barely getting a mention overall. Since they fired Ferry, not one story about potential candidates. If it were Pitt there would be a story almost every day. I'm not sure how to change it. They paid Ferry 600k. Maybe if they doubled that and brought in a name guy. Unlikely.
