UWs assistant Raphael Chillious is the ace recruiter there. He's from the DMV so he could be available. He had UW on top
Of Immanuel Quickleys list. Would be a great get for Uconn

Took a little research to find out what you were talking about. DM Veloite that is. I thought you meant the department of motor vehicles (?) !!!

Mizzou should hire Lawson's dad from Memphis too. They've got another kid who is top 20 in '19 and it appears they want to leave Memphis

This to me is so ridiculously shady. I don't know if Lawson's dad has a great resume, but I assume he doesn't, because I'm a schmuck and assume the worst.

A quick hook on Killings magic. What is it with your assessment of the guy who has been here only a short time. Maybe I'm missing something.

I haven't seen enough of Killings yet, but I have seen enough of Glen Miller and would axe him first

He was a good AAU coach, maybe because his kids played for him and they were high level recruits. However he was absolutely hired at Memphis to ensure his kids went there. And now Mizzou is getting into this business so why not double down.

If he was his kids AAU coach then he wasn't that good. His kid should me much farther along with that skill set for a big guy than he actually is.

But you're right, a lot of coaches playing that game now kind of surprised at Cuonzo Martin who seems to have this all planned out prior to his change of scenery?
 
Moo made Martin one of the top paid coaches in the country. 7 years 21 million. For that amount of money you damn well better expect he will do everything in his power to bring in some talent.
 
Hypothetical question. Do you think Ollie would hire Porter Sr. to get Porter Jr.? Also, this happens quite often (hiring the dad, aau coach) but does it usually work? Off the top of my head I know it did work for Kansas and Larry Brown when he hired Danny Manning's dad.

I don't think he would, on the one hand it would go hand in hand with the "family" atmosphere aspect, but he's not part of the UConn family.

I think at this point Ollie is hypersensitive to doing anything that would come across as dirty or sneaky, and this falls into that category

EDIT: Though, stealing Killings from Temple might fall into the sneaky column

I'm pretty sure Ollie would have a lot of competition for Porter Sr...

Pastner hired the Lawsons' dad for Memphis as well. It'll probably happen more and more going forward

Kevin Ollie and UCONN should hire Romar. Get rid of Killings and get a killer recruiter like Romar. We need more Markelle Fultzes, Michael Porters, etc at UCONN. This guy knows how to get it done on the recruiting trail.
Expand ...

Sure, let's get rid of the most experienced recruiter on the staff.

Romar is not going to take an assistant job. Plenty of lower level HC jobs available.

Plenty of decent D1 schools would take him. He'll have 20 offers if he wants them.

Definitely not a fan of Killings that part is true.

Why? What is it about his 8 months here that has soured you? I will note, Facey took a jump during hte exact period Killings, who worked on development with guys like Okafor, was here. Was it do to him? No idea, but that's a fact.
