Coach Search Options after Autry

I also don’t think people realize how quick this program can be turned around. Kids still want to play here….its not like we are getting no talent. Hell, Freeman was a top 10 recruit, Anthony (who was gonna come here no matter what), Sadiq, Starling (obviously local connection) are all top 40 recruits. Kids still want to play here. What kid would not want to play in front of 30,000+ fans, show them videos of the Dome rocking. The Duke-Cuse game in 2013…Melo played here, you have the Melo center, rich history, it’s obviously proven you can win alottttt here and win a championship and get drafted. We are a dormant giant right now and I think most people around college basketball know that. Just need the right coach. Schertz and Hodgson would be that….yoh get either one of those and I bet we are a top 25 team literally next year. Hell Tai Bell is a top point guard in the 2028 class and I’m sure he knows Autry is not gonna be here and he’s still visiting next week. This program can be turned around real quick. It’s just really stale and dormant and no energy right now. Just needs a shot in the arm

Facts….like riding a bike. Need that initial spark/winning year and it will be back

We also need to start playing games at MSG every year again.

And I read that USF offered Bell…

If Hodgson ends up here. We are going to get serious talent. He’s a really good recruiter. We’ll see what assistants he gets too. He needs at least one closer on staff. If we keep ONE person on this staff I wouldn’t mind it being Straughn. He is a young coach and a really solid recruiter.

Also I’m good with getting rid of EVERYONE else. But wouldn’t mind if we kept Anthony (just perception wise would look bad if Melos kid transferred). Keep White as he’s an athletic freak ooozing potential with the right coach would killlll it. White is also a good defender, hustled and brings the energy which we need in this program. And keep Kingz if he gets another year. Everyone else, respectfully I’m fine if they leave

And Kingz if he can get a waiver.

We can dream.

It’s all right there for a relatively quick turnaround while also having massive upside.

It’s just scary thinking there’s a very good chance we are stuck with more of the same crap of the last decade.

If it is Hodge, he will bring in his own staff of assistants. If he keeps anyone from the current staff, I hope it's Kline.
 
Seeing that we are struggling to finish out against a bad Wake squad can’t make it more obvious that we have to have a coach the understands and teaches kids how to win and knows how to recruit kids that have winning DNA. You don’t just need $$ for that.

You can just see we have a team and staff full of guys that lack that DNA. Hop in 7 years never once showed off that he could bring that in. BH for example might use analytics but he also knows how to win and has proven he can teach it as a coach and instill that mindset in his program.
