Agreed. Helped land some top 20 classes.
Like the New York background and that he's coached in the Big Ten with Minnesota. Could be a great fit. With him and Frazier, seems like we have guard coaching...would need the third assistant to work with bigs?
And a relationship with Kofi as well wouldn't hurt
If Kofi doesn't return, or even if he does, any chance he'd be able to get Samson Johnson to follow him?And a relationship with Kofi as well wouldn't hurt
Yeah that was my point — that even if he felt the local pull, Oregon can throw enough money at him to deaden that feeling. And with Stubblefield gone already they’re even more likely to open up the Nike vault. If he was still there, they might only have looked into Nike’s petty cash drawer to keep Mennenga.
? Cpl? No thanks. Big world out there!
Just because an organization can throw money at someone it doesn’t mean they will. Every employee has a perceived “value”, which is highly subjective. That’s why people change jobs. Sometimes people feel the organization doesn’t offer what they perceive to be their true worth. Sometimes that value isn’t even about money, but the trust to work on the best and coolest stuff or some other intangible thing(s). Just saying that you can’t lose for trying.
See "Uncut Gems"........I believe he already has his new hobby.
Damn, so salty. In a way, I feel sorry for them.
Tyler as a GA wouldn't help for recruiting, but would give us someone who knows our system (& players) and doesn't count against the AC staff. Inexpensive way to "add a coach."
If Chester can coach players to have at least 10% of the grit and defensive intensity that he himself played with, we'll be in great shape. All indications are that he can.
They're getting desperate. OA and Chin will have their work cut out for them. That roster is pretty far from being functional. If Carr isn't buying what UK is selling and/or some quality PGs don't look their way after pulling out of the draft, they could easily have a repeat of last year.
Good point. I'll start digging into the coaching acumen of 25 potential assistants.
We can call it Loyalty Shurades. Loved him in Uncut Gems
If they are chasing a guy like Mennega, Gentry surely won't be the #1 assistant.
(Mennenga is still listed as an assistant.) If Oregon wants keep Mennenga he will be expensive as Phil Knight will likely spend the money to keep him.
