Not great timing, but perhaps he's been gone for a while with no announcement?  As of today, he's still listed on the men's basketball staff page of the ORU Athletics website, which might lead one to surmise a move on his own accord and not a dismissal at season's end a month ago.

Either way, perhaps a partial explanation of why this recruiting cycle for ORU has been so...quiet?  Curious to see if any kids from this region end up signing in the coming days/weeks with Longwood... 🤔

Funny enough two days later he's still on the website and his twitter bio hasn't changed 🤔. Wonder if a"guru" jumped the gun?

The website is not updating properly right now for some reason.

Doc says we have hit the storage limit for the website - so he contacted the hosting site to increase capacity.  Should be fixed soon.

God Bless Doc....but isn't it easier just to delete all posts by ORUSwagger and ORUVoice??? 😛

Deserving of much more than a "Like" (referring of course to how much Doc Cornelius is/should be appreciated for keeping aloft this sordid collection of hot air and bad takes).

LOL! Good one! And in reality, probably not a bad idea for a couple of reasons...

We have more coaches and grad assistants than player on the roster.

“…and Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead!!”  (Google it)

Seriously:  Donovan Williams is STILL listed on the ORU men’s basketball website.

And no replacement has been announced. 

But that’s OK; the only things assistant coaches do this time of year is recruit and schedule games, it’s not like those two areas are lacking right now in this program…

Donovan William went back to Longwood University, where he was before ORU.  That position will not be replaced in the upcoming season.

That's why they decided they weren't going to fill the position.  They read your resume and decided that it wasn't worth an age discrimination suit being filed against them. 😄

🤔 🤔 🤔

Everyone knows Williams returned to Longwood; that fact was the purpose of this thread in the first place. 

What, however, is NOT so obvious is why a Division 1 athletic program trying to extricate itself from the deepest slump in school history thinks it’s “business as usual” to enter battle without at least a minimal complement of officers at the helm.

"Hearing" that he is returning and seeing that he has returned are two different things.  Donovan's posts have shown his return to Longwood is confirmed but it wasn't until long after the 4/14 post above.

In any event, how many "suits" (if they wore suits these days) or officers would be enough on the bench?  Usually there are more "suits" than there are dressed players some games.  Why they haven't taken Donovan's picture off the website is because they haven't put up the roster for the 2026-27 season (where he won't be included), but he was a coach for the 2025-26 season.
