Who are we going to target for our new assistant

[hhcmatt]

Gentlemen, the name-dropping thread that some of you have waited for has arrived.

Throw out names, areas to recruit, etc

 

The coaching staff we currently have:

 

HC: Tim Miles: Ties to Minnesota/Midwest

AC: Kenya Hunter: Ties to Virginia/East Coast

AC: Jim Molinari: Ties to Illinois/Midwest

AC: TBD

 

 

Are we going to try and hook back into Texas? Spread out towards the West Coast? Stay in the B1G footprint? Look in the Southeast towards and cut the kudzu towards SEC country? Go international again?

 

Start firing

[FredsSlacks]

Thon Maker's dad...

 

but seriously anyone that has ties to big men.

[colhusker]

Is the SEC territory as fertile basketball wise as it is in football?  I don't think we should get another Midwest guy, be nice to find a Texas/west coast type recruiter.

[The Coach]

How about Russell Springmann?

[Huskerpapa]

Hmm, tough question.  I personally have no real preference.  We need coaches that can teach and recruit.  Do we go the route of an AAU type coach?  Do we turn to a program like Simeon and hire that HC?  Do we go with a JUCO coach?  I am not certain I can identify a specific person...so many options, so little time.

[twinswingohuskers]

hopefully one with a big man in his hip pocket

Two. Two big men. We have room for two.

Mike Dunlap (let's all dream a little!)-

Make him one of the highest paid assistants in the B1G and give LMU a 'buyout' home and home series. Dunlap keeps international ties in the program and instantly becomes our go to bench coach. The guy can flat out coach and recruit.

You know how every good AD keeps a shortlist of potential HC...Dunlap is on mine for Nebrasketball. Might as will make him an assistant and help Miles and Co. take us to the next level.

[Blackshirt83]

DeMarlo Slocom for west coast recruiting will probably be a hot name.

Jim Corrigan would be one I'd like to see us try to hire. He's kind of a combo of Harriman's recruiting and Smith's x's and o's and would be at least an interesting fit Imo.

Marv,

I was about to go to bed...however, before I go, can I have one of whatever you are drinking?

It's good stuff.

Slocom was an assistant under Miles for 3 years at CSU

[Huskerpapa]

When is someone going to start mentioning ex-husker players ...oh, I guess it is me

[colhusker]

Well given the lack of height Miles will be dealing with, I think I am qualified to help coach given the size team I had the last two years of coaching CYBA ball.

[jimmykc]

Brynjar Brynjarsson would probably give us the inside track on any prospect from Iceland.

For a split second I was going to ask how the President of Nelnet would make a good Assistant Coach.  I wouldn't trust the guy at all.

First name that popped into my mind was Chin Coleman.

 

But that would probably be quite the long shot.

Actually, Miles just coached with him at the Final 4, he is currently unemployed, and we pay well. I think we could land him in a second. Do we need another guy covering Chicago though?

Just asking to ask but why do we want/need Chin? Miles had one chance to put him on staff already and we are having recruiting success in Chicago without him.

[colhusker]

Who would be better in Chicago?

Which is part of the reason why I figure it's a long shot.

 

But you never know, Chicago is huge for hoops recruiting.  Kinda like Texas for football.

Here's the other thing with Coleman: we didn't make him an assistant last time. What has changed that we would now?

[King James]

I kinda figured Chin would be the natural pick as well. That all changes when ai found out that Hunter was credited with landing the 2 kids from Chicago. Since Hunter obviously has some relationships there and we know Mo has ties there as well, it would almost seem foolish to put another Chicago guy on the staff.
