Weekly Answers, Pt. 3

Check out the latest batch of weekly answers…

1) Is Datone Jones coming back next year? – 909Bruin
He said he’s 95 percent sure he’s coming back.

2) March 1, 2012, is DG still the AD? – Mayor McCheese
Yes.

3) Hey Jon — does the Mora hiring change you prediction for next year’s season? IIRC, you thought Neu would be on track for an 8-4 season. Obviously without knowing anything about anything that Mora wants to do, would you expect him to do better, worse, or about the same than that 8-4 mark? Thanks – Anonymous
I’d need to see a few practices to make an accurate judgment, but based on the talent projected to return, eight wins is about what I’d expect.

4) Is Mora really an upgrade on Neuhesial? I mean, Neuhesial seemed to be recruiting well — if Mora can’t at least match that, does it matter if he’s a better coach? – BruinBall
Yes, recruiting is only a portion of the game.

5) Jon, will there ever come a time when we will no longer have to tolerate the rancor which is encouraged by allowing the anonymous posting option? Wouldn’t we all be better served to, at a minimum, require some sort of registration so that even with a pseudonym a poster’s behavior begins to produce a pattern? – MichaelRyerson
Most newspapers seem to be trending that way, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we eventually did that, too. I hope so, at least.
