To throw a little bit of cold water on it, his tenure coincides with the ACC completely falling apart and becoming a shell of it's former self. UNC is the only program even coming close to matching them in NIL resources.
The Bulls need a hard factory reset at all levels of the organization from top down.
While what he has done is no where close to what Stevens did, I'd say the managing Dukes resources/NBA talent/personalities in the NIL age would in theory be better preparation for an NBA job. Stevens is just a unicorn but not surprised a dumpster fire org like the Bulls would be interested in a local boy. I certainly wouldn't be excited but have resigned myself that nothing positive can happen until Jerry dies so why not give him a shot. Worse comes to worse we stay a dumpster fire and Duke is forced to try to catch lighting in a bottle twice and also churns the carrousel that potentially weakens other programs we're competing with.
Yeah. He didn’t trash the Bentley. He had it serviced routinely. He even kept it filled up with gas. He even changed a couple fuses himself. But it was handed to him by his rich daddy.
Correct. Now, I don't know if the plan here is to hire Scheyer as a 38 year old with no NBA experience as the HC/GM, an impossible role no one has held in the league in years, or as just the head coach under the Karnisovas/Eversley regime, the worst front office in the league by a country mile with no credibility, no assets, and on the verge of being fired themselves.
Super impressed with Lucas. That dude is absolutely going to be a star.
This post is blasphemy. That was absolutely Coach K's philosophy and Scheyer has done a great job continuing it.
Surprised McCasland is not on this list.
Basketball wise yes, byt the last few off the court things that have happened under his watch have some programs uneasy
Tech is a weird spot now because of NIL.....they have tons of money currently
Kyrie and Austin Rivers were one and done recruits before Scheyer ever got there. Jabari Parker committed before Scheyer got there. Okafor and Tyus Jones signed before Scheyer was a full assistant.
I believe Kyrie Irving was the first one-and-done K ever had and as of Scheyer's hiring there had only been a couple. Even with recruiting services colossally, laughably overrating Duke's signees every year, they were no longer competing for the tippy-top caliber of player most of the time in the late aughts early 2010's as the Calipari's of the world reinvented the recruiting game.
Scheyer has done well following a legend, but Stevens was Cignetti before Cignetti.
He's only the 15th best coach remaining in the tournament
I'm underwhelmed by Scheyer as a fit in the NBA. He's thrived by having the most NIL and the most talent, he's not getting that with the Bulls.
There's the double down. He had 5 one and dones before Scheyer had anything to do with recruiting. Okafor, Jones, Parker, Rivers, Irving.
