Clearing the notebook of several Marshall Thundering Herd men's basketball items being reported or rumored. ...

Head coach Tom Herrion hasn't announced a replacement for assistant coach Jorge Fernandez, who cited family reasons for resigning in May, and now it looks as though there is another vacancy.

CBSSports.com reported that Marshall director of basketball operations Mike Brown also left to take an assistant's job at New Jersey Institute of Technology, better known as NJIT.

Isaiah Williams, a 6-foot-7 wing player from Newark, N.J., who sat out the 2011-12 school year at Marshall for academic reasons, signed to play at Florida junior college.

The recruiting website ZagsBlog.com reported Williams has committed to Iona College for the Class of 2013, but will spend at least one year at the State College of Florida-Manatee. The Recruit Scoop also had a Twitter report about Williams leaving Marshall for a junior college.

"Herrion has said he also is tinkering with using a bigger front court featuring forwards Dennis Tinnon, Robert Goff and 6-foot-10 center Nigel Spikes."

Sounds like Herrion is optimistic Tinnon’s appeal will be successful. I doubt he’d be making plans involving Tinnon or talking publicly about it if he wasn’t expecting to have Tinnon in the line up.

Someone from the athletic department told me on Wednesday that they were optimistic that a ruling on Tinnon would be handed down "within two weeks."

Obviously they have confused Danny's age with Mike's. They say Danny is 61. That is Mike's age. Not sure of Danny's but I would say about 65. He graduated from MU in 1969.

playing Cincy in Charleston is a joke.

not playing Cincy would be a joke. Since it was Charleston or nothing, its a great scheduling decision.

Stop whining and drive an hour to see a great opponent.

exactly.  some people just don't get it.  it's either don't play UC, or play them a no return game in Cincy, or play them at Cincy and return in Charleston.  NO OPTION FOR Hton.  it's a 45 minute drive.
