That said, do not for a moment believe all the SJU folks who will inevitably appear here to run the guy the down. That program was in disarray long before Mike got there and will be so long after. There is at SJU a failure of leadership at the highest levels which will ensure continuing problems. They are still crying about Jarvis five years later while their program wallows in mediocrity under another coach with his recruits. GW was able to return to the NCAAs within 3 years after the Penders debacle that left them in far worse shape than SJU (with just 8 scholarship players eligible that first year). There is not one player on the SJU roster anymore that Mike Jarvis recruited. Don't buy their nonsense for a moment. Mike got caught up in something that wasn't his doing and those who state otherwise are either ignorant or looking for a scapegoat to explain away why their program continues to struggle.
Anyway, congrats on the great hire. I know several of us up here are planning to adopt FAU as our second team and we will be attending games. We look forward to watching FAU become a very good program.

Re: Great Hire
Not only will Jarvis find a way to keep the current players, I think he may prove to be a "father figure" to a couple of our current players who are still trying to find themselves. Excellent hire. In my judgment this makes 3 in a row. FAU's basketball trajectory is the equal of any program in the country.
