I think the fan base - still getting good crowds after a decade of bad basketball. We've historically travelled very well. I think a coach who know college basketball would know that he could have great support.

Proximity to recruits. I don't follow that much, but even CNY has produced high major recruits. We are close to a lot of major recruiting hotbeds.

I've used the example that we're Tennessee. We have a huge stadium that a good coach will fill. FSU just went 2-10 and looked like dog... all season and their recruiting is still pretty great.

The Melo Center has to be a bit dated at this point, is that even a selling point?

The ACC being horrible is an amazing opportunity for a program to step up and challenge Duke and Carolina.

I have a feeling we could compete with most schools NIL if we had a coach and program our fanbase was excited about. If I had $100,000 to give a year, I would not donate it with Red as the coach. If I'm wrong about NIL, then nothing else matters and the job is terrible. If I'm right, then we have the bones of a very good program that I think would be attractive.
