Reports from Boston.com have surfaced about the apparent hiring of ex-Cornell coach Steve Donohue as the new Eagles basketball coach. The deal is not official but ESPN describes that he will take the job unless a bomb erupts during final negotiations. I have to say out of all the coaches that were left on the MArket he was the best available. I would have loved Mooney but I am happy BC didn't revert back to a Al Skinner assistant. Hopefully Donohue's success from Cornell's Sweet 16 run will carry over into the ACC. Now the question is will he be able to recruit better or even as good as Skinner? Al Skinner MAy not have brought in blue-chippers but he brought in NBA type talent as shown by Craig Smith and Jared Dudley. I pray that Donohue experiences at least the same level of success as Skinner or else this whole ordeal was a waste.
