Still can't believe she helped with recruiting.

The art of Photobombing was sorely missed and a big reason for our poor season. The obvious choice is Phil Nolan

Why? What evidence is there that he can build the connections necessary?

Being an NBA player and alum is not enough to to make you a good recruiter.

Yeah and some of the kids he'd be recruiting were running down dads leg when he was a star or in diapers. If he can coach and recruit I'm in. I mean he couldn't be a big mans coach he was a jump shooter? LOL
 
If we're obsessed with getting a former UConn guy in there, then Donyell would be the answer. Big man coach, did an ok job on the bench this year as a HC for CCSU, was a good recruiter in his brief run with Buffalo, and has NBA creds.

But it's not going to be him. It's going to be Chillious.
 
I dont KO is going to select a former UCONN player. I suspect it will be someone with some NBA background in his resume.

That said, i wonder if Khalid will make his way into coaching. I think his playing days are finally over...i think.

Which, given his recruiting abilities, is AWESOME. Crossing my fingers. This is the gun we've needed.
 
Big O - hes already got more rings than most coaches in the running

Not that it is official, who do you want to see?

Tom Moore for me. He would certainly help with the rebounding, and also recruiting. After the Q, he needs to refresh his resume, and if it works, and KO moves on, he's here if needed.
 
What about the Squid? He's available tomorrow for an interview
I heard he has had some success in recruiting some top talent

But why would he leave Kentucky? He's just had a successful season -- 3-4 players to the NBA, and not too many games in March to tire them out before NBA camps.
 
Get me someone not connected to the program so they are easy to let go, if need be.

Chillious seems like a high risk high reward candidate to me. Clearly the dude can straight up recruit, but the Washington teams he was a part of underachieved like nobodies business

That makes it a perfect spot for him, just recruit and get out the way - he won't have to worry about pulling the strings on game day. Bring us some players - please!!!! KO hasn't brought in any program identity guys that Calhoun was so good at getting every 2-3 years from Donyell, to Allen, to Rip, to Butler, to Gay, ........ to Kemba, etc. Shabazz was the last one. Also Calhoun understood the value of role players, guys whose specialty was shooting, rebounding, defense, etc. Not just a bunch of guys vying with each other to be the man or to jack the next shot. We hardly saw the ball movement and cohesion of the last NC team that started Phil Nolan, Olander, and Giffey (partial stud, partial role player).
