I think we all have an idea of who's on our "A list." Guys like Archie Miller, Greg Marshall, Fred Hoiberg, Tony Bennett, etc. I think most of us can also probably agree they're all longshots.
Assuming we miss out on all of those guys, I'm curious to know what everyone's opinion would be on Mark Gottfried. Ordinarily, I wouldn't be all that excited about a guy who just got canned from a major program, but I think he got a raw deal. He had that program in a MUCH better place than UI has been for the last 5+ years. He's shown an ability to recruit, and to do it in Duke and UNC's backyard.
I think we could definitely end up with worse hires than him. Thoughts?
