Doesn’t travel to away gamesNo Phil Jackson?
Same. I don’t see them hiring Devo, Blackwell or any of those guys. It’ll be an experienced, plugged in assistant coach with national recruiting chops.Be shocked if it isnt an outside the fam hire with northeast recruiting chops
We don’t need a hs coach. We need someone with major recruiting connections.Blackwell is killing it at Liverpool. Not sure why people are dismissive of him.

HC AA needs to prioritize the defensive side of the ball with his 1st hire. A disciple of Tony Bennett or Kelvin Sampson- the 2 best defensive coaches in the game- would be ideal. Recruiting track record should be second to this.
I hate Calipari and I think he is a terrible coach but his deficiencies are covered well by those 5 stars. I don't think you should ever turn down getting the next generation of NBA talent. The guys on the bench clearly can improve players skills, get a recruiter who can get the top players in and lets worry about the rest after.It does not have to be some hotshot recruiter. I’d rather have someone that can develop players and teach fundamental offense and defense.
Red will be able to recruit talented kids. I have no doubt. He has the background and personality to connect with them. He has already closed on the best portal player out there.
You can bring in all the 5 stars you want a la Calipari but if you can’t teach them the fundamentals or how to shoot properly it won’t matter.
Not so much the last few years. His major edge is gone since it’s all legal now,I hate Calipari and I think he is a terrible coach but his deficiencies are covered well by those 5 stars.

I agree!!!Are his deficiencies covered though? He has one title out of what seems like 20 number one recruiting classes. And he only has that one because of Anthony Davis. He returned the national player of the year as well as a great recruiting class plus portal players and still has underwhelmed this season.
I absolutely do not want an NBA factory for a team. I want Virginia/Villanova type teams. Good strong loyal players who stick around. Good fundamental offense and defense. Build up a strong foundation of players and build off that.
I would take a team of 3 star seniors over a team of 5 star freshman any day of the week.
