Good hire for NC State if they can finalize a deal

100% however I don't think they have the same financial power (Indiana) or local appeal (Iowa).

I could see them going for Josh Schertz, Drew Valentine, Chris Mack, or maybe Sean Miller.

Agree. McCollum likely would prefer Iowa job.

Rumored candidates for Minnesota include Niko Medved (CO St., from MN), Ben Jacobson (N. Iowa), Ryan Saunders (Flip’s son & former TWolves head coach), McCollum & Darian DeVries (WV, from Iowa)

DeVries has a $9.3 million buyout & is making $2.9 million/yr. I bet he wishes he would have stayed another year at Drake but he couldn’t turn down a big contract. He may have been able to pick between Iowa & Minnesota if he waited.

Medved would be a slam dunk. Huge fan of his. Mountain West is a great conference.

Honestly good for the ACC conference as well. We need to be a better conference, us included.

McCollum has been rumored for the Iowa job for a couple months. Not sure how our local news guys picked up on, but I have read it more than once.

He must have something on someone.

Maybe they just realized that with the support they have committed to he’ll have the support he needs to be competitive. In the end it’s all about money, and support staff, and let coaches coach.

 

[2B20Again]

Wow, Will Wade at NC state will be a problem. Should we go after Chris Beard next season? We’re gonna need a splash hire.

There will be no splash hires. SU needs to show administrative and significant $$$ support to be relevant. The splash SU needs is players people want to pay to go see. Simple as that. Players that want to be at SU.

Pipe dream 100% but JW gives this guy whatever he wants to be on the staff in an advisory/assistant role.

2 Frans >>>>> 1...just saying

You do realize that Fran McCaffrey has never had a team play defense, not ever?

 

[Dinkyspond]

wow, is he gonna not coach McNeese in the NCAAs? Not very honorable or showing much integrity by Wade.
