Jai Lucas set to become next men’s basketball coach

[cway313]

Pretty sad that FSU can’t outbid George Mason for a coach

Yall let this side?

No idea if anything actually comes of this but this is exactly why you have to give the guy a little while to get on campus, hire a staff and ops group, hit the portal, and see what he can do about recruiting before making any conclusions about the guy as our head coach. There are a lot of definitive takes on this thread that seem to be very premature.

Still think there were better options out there. Hope I’m wrong and he has great success at the U. Time will tell. GO CANES!!!

They just did the duke brotherhood podcast

What they say?

From what I’m hearing, it is. Entire budget got increased. Not just NIL.

Jeff Goodman calls it an interesting hire

We've seen guys get TATTOOS for one school, and then they flip to a rival school.

Let's see what happens. Anything is possible.

Lol it’s hard to say that in basketball and Duke

They will have a tough decision to make

Lol why the head person still at Duke

Miami is going to hire their high school coach

And yet Miami finished a very close second to Duke in the recruitment of the Boozer twins.

Again, anything is possible here.

And yet a non-Dookie (Coacl Larranaga) almost beat out Scheyer to sign the twins.

Wake up.

why would they leave

 

[hill33]

“Miami is expected to have high NIL for Lucas. Not sure the number yet, but Canes will be extremely competitive”
“I will say this. Several people I’ve talked to privately do not like the hire. They don’t because he does not have ties to the area and has never been a head coach before. I actually like the hire. Duke head coach Jon Scheyer gave Lucas the freedom to help coach the team and let his voice be heard. Scheyer and Calipari showed him the ropes. He will need a killer staff but I think Lucas succeeds in South Beach.”

The word going around down here is new staff will go after Boozers. Not sure how realistic it is though. A coach leaving a program for a new job midway thru the season is unheard of for me, particularly when it’s within the conference. I’d have to imagine part of the deal to let Lucas go now was that he wouldn’t wouldn’t take any prominent players with him. Just my take

Can they recruit them if they hire the high school coach?
