Breaking: FSU admits they are a poverty program - will hire Luke Loucks as HC

Wonder if Cassell passed on the job. Interesting.

He will be the third head coach, if Christie keeps the Kings job as that’s currently being reported, to emerge from Mike Brown’s Kings staff.

My wife won't listen to me complain, so I have to vent somewhere.

If I didn't care so much about Miami basketball I wouldn't post anything.

It's also interesting that we have 2 other very knowledgeable basketball posters that aren't exactly excited over the hire either in @AmherstCane and @Canedude08 . I would put those 2 posters against anyone on this board from a pure basketball and this program knowledge.

We should be a NCAA tournament team in 2-3 years if this hire is as great as some of you think.

Sam is likely to get an NBA HC job soon, so it makes sense, especially if he knows FSU isn’t serious about funding and supporting their program, which they obviously aren’t. Serious programs don’t make these hires.

I think Jai is a terrific person.

I don’t think he is fully prepared to step in as the HC of a P5 team.

In his interview with Joe Z he talked about prioritizing defense… but also pushing tempo offensively and scoring in the 80s.

That sounds AMAZING… except it is *almost* impossible to do in the real world.

Sure, it works with Cooper Flag and 4 other top-20 recruits… but that’s not a realistic roster for us in the next 3-5 years (if ever).

So… those comments unfortunately reinforce my fundamental concerns that the guy is gonna have to figure out what his style and strategy is while also learning to be a head coach.
 
I'm completely on board on the surface. Network, recruiting, young, bloodline, hopefully UM is ready to support.

But 2 years in this era with the portal you can be a .500ish team next year and then 20+ wins and tourney bound or very very close in year 2. If we dont make the tourney we can at least look at what he's done and go "oh boy year 3 is going to be fun"

I also hope we land one shocker big time recruit. Just as some proof that he can recruit and our NIL is ready to roll.
