Hasn't Rutgers only had 1 good yr recruiting? I think the idea is to stack top classes on top of eachother....
I don’t think you can really stack classes in basketball unless you’re a blue blood. You can try to develop 4* recruits but that is a tough model in the NIL era. Elite recruits are one year rentals.
NIL has made money and coaching acumen the primary traits for success, IMO.
That list was incredibly uninspiring
20 men's basketball coaches ready to make the jump to power conferences
With a lot of big programs opening this coaching cycle, who are the next big coaching stars to get the chance?www.espn.com
There’s a lot of names on this list that would’ve made a better choice than Lucas. Just my opinion.
Only upside was learning about a dozen schools for the first time. I like Mitch Henderson out of Princeton

Yes, to two guys (you and cookiestoss) who have already boarded the Lucas Train and are busy ****ting on anyone/everyone with a differing opinion.
Yeah, that list was ****. Who would hire a guy from, what was it, "George Mason"? Sounds like a made-up school name...
I like Tony Skinn a lot
Listen here toolbag - I have never once said that Lucas was my first (Will Wade was) or even 3rd or 4th choice.
That said, we were never poaching a TJ Oetzelberger or even Chris Jans/Chris Beard. Richard Pitino would have been equally polarizing and ‘uninspiring’ to most.
This is a high risk/high reward swing but I’d much rather be going this route over a sitting mid major HC who has never coached in the conference or navigated the current NIL landscape.

Watch FSU make a better hire despite being broke as F. If that’s their list, it’s already better than what Rad allegedly did.
lol no it’s not
With the program on life support (per your description), you would suggest a head coach whose tournament tested & deeply experienced…. Good call
Dude can't decide what side of the fence he's on.

Just bizarre behavior.
