    Appears to be a good hire. Don't know much about him, though. Recruiting at UNO is different than recruiting at Tech, but I like the Louisiana ties. PLUS, he knows how to coach with is different than our last one.

    I know Derrick, if you look up the word First Class, his picture is beside it. I think he will do a great job for us. He knows a lot of people Lafayette and south which will be good for us.

    Anyone who is able to recruit well in south Louisiana should be a huge asset.

    Glad to have Coach Jones on board.

    Re: Rupp adds assistant Derrick Jones

    Looks like a home run hire to me all around. I love the fact he coached HS in NO area and has been recruiting in LA already. We haven't signed a lot of S LA kids under anyone so his experience should help.

    Welcome aboard Coach Jones!

    At one point it appeared that the mens program was imploding.

    Now we have a good recruiting class and a first class hire.

    This huge emotional swings are going to give me grey hair prematurely.

    Fits nicely as no budget increases. Unless LSU, won't get them approved.

    Kind reminds me of football a couple of months ago.

    I'm glad to be a fan of an institution who's athletic department is consistently improving.

    I understand this is a Louisiana guy, I'm researching to find the big recruits this guy has landed. Can anyone shed any light on what big Louisiana recruits has he recruited in the past?

    He is replacing the ex lead recruiter/associate head coach.

    I went to elementary and high school with DJ, he was 2 years younger than me. He signed with MS St. out of high school, was a heck of a basketball player. Truly, a classy guy...looks like his ties to south LA should help us...

    Great to hear, but from looking at UNO's record and the Louisiana players on the team, I don't see the evidence that this guy is a big time recruiter in Lousiana or nationally.
