Cornell Mann got a head coaching job
- Thread starter clonehenge
- Start date
I used to live in the western outskirts of that area for a few months a number of years ago. It is a nice city and a nice area. I even went to a few games at GVSU; good sized school for being DII. I used to know Cornell a bit personally when he was an assistant coach at Central Michigan University. He knows the state well.

Unsure about "main" recruiter.
Perhaps Prohm should have kept him on staff. I realize you need your own people and can't remember how that all went down in 2015 or so.

If he truly was the difference maker with Monte, Abdel, Georges, and Royce he probably should have been retained.
I mean, Michael Porter Jr. committed to Mizzou once his dad was hired, so I’d take those bullet points with a grain of salt.
I admit I don't know inner-workings & terminology for recruiting. Morris recruitment happens to be in his profile on cyclones.com.
Ric had a nice 18 year run at Grand Valley and decided it was time to move on. Not sure what his plans are, but he's fortunate to be one of the few college coaches who gets to leave on his own terms.
