Southern Illinois hires Scott Nagy

[So iLL 24]

I was told the coaches anticipated another commitment yesterday. Haven't heard if it fell through.

SIU still needs another scoring option and we definitely need an experienced PG. Hearing that a few of those targets went elsewhere. Hearing anything new on those needs ? The commitment I heard was another big man.

Big addition. He visited Drake recently and had several other quality programs after him.

Dibba was second-team all-WAC and is an explosive athlete. Would not be surprised if he's SIU's leading scorer next year.

That's a huge addition. The WAC was the #14 conference last season. He'll be a top-10 MVC player.

I think SIU is a 4-seed next year.

A 3/4 would be amazing given the turnover we've had. Though few schools in the league have not had that scenario.

Yeah, I’m impressed with what Nagy and staff have pulled together for SIU. I think he’s a good coach to begin with, and them pulling some talent together on a tight timeline like this is a good sign too.
