I'm assuming the Ruland comments are facetious; I'm definitely hoping they are. 😀 Definitely funny if it's a joke.

So you want the AD to call a press conference to state the obvious? +1 By far the most literate, coherent, and succinct post ever by '70!

We’re about to enter the last month of the regular season and still no further word about Cluess. Seems like if he’s going to be back or not we should be hearing something soon.

Have not heard any recent news about TC, but if he does return during the regular season, the following two games make sense to me:
1. Manhattan, because it's Manhattan. 2. Rider, because we'll be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Louisville game.
Naturally, his health will determine whether he'll be able to resume his coaching duties.

At this point I would assume Cluess will not return this year and be happily surprised if he does. No point in keeping a watch.

Enough talk about TC jeez! We've covered this topic here numerous times. I wish him a full recovery & the best of everything. He's not issuing a statement so why bother keep talking about him... Lets focus our attn on winning these last remaining games with Tra & getting that #3 seed & 1st round bye in Maac Tourney.

Even if Cluess did return this season, which I doubt, would have to think he would return before game day and actually practice with the team before actually coaching a game with a announcement being made. At this point just get healthy and recruit..recruit..recruit

This is one of my first posts on the board but have followed it for years, big Iona fan since mid-2000's. Wasn't sure where to put this but just had a thought I would like your guys' opinion on. I'm not trying to nitpick any one player's performance over the years but since 2012, our at-large year I can't help but notice the trend of our big man in our typical 4-1 lineup with one true bigman. Starting then we had Mike Glover, then David Laury for two years(14 and 15), then Jordan Washington for two years(16 and 17), then Roland Griffin even though that year was more of a by comittee type deal but I know we all had fairly high expectations for Griffin the next year before the unfortunate incident, and now Tajuan Agee the last two. I guess what I was wondering was how you guys would rank these big men over the years and how it compared to our success as a team. Again, I know every one of these players left a sustained impact on the program and I'm not trying to take away from any of that, just curious of your guys' thoughts. I have been following this board very consistently since Cluess took over and just interested in conversation!

I thought Optimus prime was the most dominant and dynamic of that group.

Yea T.K Edogi played 1 year as a grad transfer from Tulsa the same year as Griffin, that is part of the reason why I put committee I just said Griffin because I felt he better fit the mold of the players I was referring to and he had a dominant MAAC tournament including 29 in the championship game vs Fairfield I believe.

I have been following this board very consistently since Cluess took over and just interested in conversation! Interesting post, I’ll go: 1. Laury- I think the best because he did everything. 2. Glover- as close a second as someone could possibly be. his senior year just wasn’t quite as strong as his junior year 3. Washington- never played enough minutes to be higher, but his two NCAA games were dominant, and he played very well in the Maac tourneys as well. 4. Agee- has had moments of brilliance, his story isn’t over, but nearly impossible to overtake the 3 above him. 5. Griffin/Edogi- Griffin wasn’t the true solo big man and his great play was very short lived, but the Duke and Maac championship game he was as good as any Iona big man in the Cluess era.
