Good hire in my opinion.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Three regular season CAA titles, two tourney titles in three seasons.

That does not seem like your typical NC State coaching hire.

very good hire. When you are third fiddle within 30 miles of your campus, you can't expect to bring in some huge name. Good coach

So who wins the Archie Miller sweepstakes? Alford to Indiana and Archie to UCLA? Could play his brother at least twice a year.

but is he going to play the same style? not sure that would work in the acc. weird hire.

I live within walking distance to UNCW campus so I go to alot of games. Keatts is a good hire. He has a good repor with the kids. I find his interaction with the kids a refreahing change from JBs moaning and groaning approach.

He's a Pitino guy. That style works anywhere.

Good hire for NC State, but wouldn't be a good hire for the upper teams in the ACC, they'll finish middle of the pack in the conference with the new hire. Most coaches stayed away from this job as NC State athletics is very inconsistent and unpredictable

He would be a great hire at any school but he's an especially good hire for State. Great recruiter who is unbelievably plugged in and has great relationships in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

If Alford says no to IU, would they go after Donovan?
