Kinda sounds like what Butch did in hiring coach Smith. ... Don's know if someone jumped the gun on the release...see that Ketlehut is referred to as "former" AU coach.

slot canyon 1,328 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 By my calculation he is 62; hate to see you refer to that as "advanced age".😁 Guess it depends on which side of 62 you are standing on.🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnphan 6,050 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Looks like he recruited California and the Midwest. Hopefully can keep our Bandit commits and get us back in California recruiting game. There are some good players on that DePaul roster too. Maybe some of them might wanna reunite with the ole ball coach.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his exit according to reports from those in that area, was strange. He suddenly retires and his coaching staff is fired immediately. I am wondering if he had been forced out bc of some issues regarding his wife's involvement with her company in securing naming rights for their Arena. Many felt there was a conflict of interest, bc of the family ties to DePaul with the Lentis. Whats even more strange, the AD was his sister. He does bring a great pedigree, and he is a legend up in those parts. I also read after he retired, that many many explayers and parents of explayers had glowing remarks about him as their coach. Sounds like a good hire, if it is made official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wde21 344 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Softball America has confirmed that Taylon Snow is transferring. Is this unexpected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I just read that myself. I'm not too surprised, as Taylon was the #1 or #2 prospect in the country when she signed with Myers. Then the disaster hit, and the situation was no longer what she had bargained for. The presence of Tannon is probably what kept her here this long. I'm very sorry to see it, but hard to blame her. Tannon has already transferred once, so I'd think she'll play out her senior year at Auburn. Of the 8 freshmen who reported in the fall of 2017, there are two left; Tissier and Dowell.

auburnfan247 27 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 We need Eugene Lenti the HOF coach we just hired as an assistant to become our actual HC. Way too many transfers in a period of a year! Allen Greene needs to sit down and talk with coach Dean and figure out what’s going on with the program and at least start looking at available HC’s.

swimmama 45 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 This is sad that this program is a major dumpster fire. So sad for these girls. Allen needs to take a hard look at this program. It was once so much fun to go to games. I hope that he’s really looking into this new assistant coach hiring not sure we know all the details about him.
