Doubt we could offer enough $ to match what he could make elsewhere. He and his family’s blood has probably thinned out in the warmer climates too.
I would argue the connections to overseas and the high school circuit are 10X more important than NBA connections. Even though high school recruits aren't as critical... now it's almost more important to build the relationship while they are in high school so you can get them in the portal once they have a resume and you know their true valuation. From a moneyball perspective, this seems like the perfect background for the role, setting aside the person themselves.
And btw Kline with all of his NBA connections got us what?
Announcements about new hires always share the background/resume. What else should it include?
third cousin once removed?
This is freaking hilarious. I was thinking he looked a bit like he either has horrible allergies, has a bad case of the sads, or just needs to eat some more fruits and veggies (btw the way - nutritional advice FROM ME is the biggest joke of all) and this comment floored me.
Good luck finding a lead guard that will beat out Dual for the starting job. And I'm for them getting a third guard. But it's not going to be easy for that guard to beat out Dual and Moesch is going to be a tough competition for them as well, that is really only a 4 star vs a 5 star due to height.
I really don’t see Moesch getting much time this year outside of some OOC games.
I don't either, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. And Gerry hit very big on an under the radar recruit that is ready to contribute on a good team year 1. Braden Smith 2.0.
I don't believe Gerry ever said that. That was the word around the program but I don't think it was Gerry's word. Also, I am hearing some good things about the hire. Of course, it would be odd to hear someone say, this kid is a stiff. He does have experience with NIL. Something Kline didn't have.
when i first saw the hire my first thoughts were "who" "huh". but after some research and watching the videos above, this could be a great hire. has connections in the northeast and the dmv. has international connections. understands nil and looks at it analytically. could be interesting. also, i trust gmac. hes put together a great staff, so i don't think this would be a throw away. he must think it's a great hire.
I mean, you might not be wrong about Ryan Moesch. I was thinking about this yesterday. Braden Smith was a 3-star, 198th ranked prospect who had an immediate impact at Purdue and has become an all-conference player and one of the best PGs in college basketball the past few years.
