NoJimmy Boeheim has to be in consideration, at some point, as a Graduate Assistant type hire. I thought there was some whispers he wants to get into coaching

DC could also play on the perimeter, and handle the ball and pass. Patrick is strictly a center.If we want that. Ewing is the most qualified.
especially if he delivers Ash?Blackwell is killing it at Liverpool. Not sure why people are dismissive of him.

Is he going to play with Jayhawks again? Big summer for Andreo. Can he play on the wing or is a slightly undersized 4. To me same type of kid as Frankie Policelli from Utica Area. Once Frankie got a little stronger he was a good player for Stoney Brook. Unless Ash develops a perimeter game or grows 3 inches he might be better at an A10 type school. IMO.I watch most their games. Not sure Ash can play at this level.

Recruiter like Bino RansonSo if I understand correctly Red will need to hire 3 more coaches but only 1 can go out recruiting.
Then you hire
1- The single best recruiter you can find and afford.
1- Hire a teacher of the game. Someone who can work with the kids on a daily basis to refine their individual skills. Develope drills to help improve the fundamentals.
1- Hire either an offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator which ever one Red and his current staff feel they would want someone to lead that side of the ball.
With how much Jesse improved over his career what makes Griff a bad big man coach? If we could get that improvement from every position the past decade we’d have 4 titles.I love griff but need a actual big man to coach the bigs . Really think Red will do good recruiting so a Big man coach are any alum bigs that coach
Good question...not alot of "numbers" to say one way or another.With how much Jesse improved over his career what makes Griff a bad big man coach? If we could get that improvement from every position the past decade we’d have 4 titles.
And a big coach to recruit big prospects.I love griff but need a actual big man to coach the bigs . Really think Red will do good recruiting so a Big man coach are any alum bigs that coach
He lost a lot of his edge when Duke decided to go the one-and-done route.Not so much the last few years. His major edge is gone since it’s all legal now,
He’s recruited nobody. Not the time to break someone in.Blackwell is killing it at Liverpool. Not sure why people are dismissive of him.
How about Edwards positioning, footwork, ball positioning, & post moves & numbers against practically anyone bigger than him?With how much Jesse improved over his career what makes Griff a bad big man coach? If we could get that improvement from every position the past decade we’d have 4 titles.
I know it's an "out of left field" idea, but does anyone think Etan Thomas would be interested? I would love to have an actual big man coaching the bigs on the roster.I love griff but need a actual big man to coach the bigs .

Etan does a lot of things. Doesn’t seem like coaching is one of them, as far as I know?I know it's an "out of left field" idea, but does anyone think Etan Thomas would be interested? I would love to have an actual big man coaching the bigs on the roster.
I know he doesn't have any coaching experience, but with his NBA experience and his profile in the community, I think he would be a great recruiter.
Lol, dude went from the second IMG team to one of the best centers in the ACC.How about Edwards positioning, footwork, ball positioning, & post moves & numbers against practically anyone bigger than him?
Fine, let Griffin coach bigs til the cows come home, even though he would probably rather coach guards.
Anyhow, what we need is the absolute brightest star in recruiting we can get. Would be interesting if that just so happened to be another Boeheim coached player, but I would be fine if it were someone completely different.
Besides watching the movie moneyball, I am not sure what an analytics person could do for college basketball, but hire that too.
Maybe a 'bench coach' too, whatever it is they do.
Red is sealing some deals with JJ, GMAC, Griff, & hopefully Mintz, Jesse, Joe, but at some point he is going to have to put his thinking cap on for these other choices, which are more difficult.
Not one of those guys was a top 100 guy, if they were they closer to 100. Anselem still isn’t doing anythingGood question...not alot of "numbers" to say one way or another.
Griffin helped coach Chukwu, Anselem, Dolezaj Sidebe Ajok(?).
It's almost like the Rakeem Christmas story. Not much for the first 3 seasons
because we weren't running the offense through a "5" much. Then BANG!!
Rak or Jesse becomes a prime option on offense.
But I will say the recruiting of bigs the last 6 years hasn't been that good.
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.
Here's a question...
If say... Pitino takes St. Johns (after Iona tourney run end) and Gerry gets the call/offer from Iona, does he take it??
Etan does a lot of things. Doesn’t seem like coaching is one of them, as far as I know?
With a new head coach, SU needs to be hiring assistants that have already been assistants, IMO.
