https://kuathletics.com/coach/jerrance-howard/ Self lifer from playing for him at Illinois to being at KU for ~8 years it looks like, very good recruiting chops.

Possible, but the guy interviewed with the Clippers, Pacers, and Bulls last year alone and I believe had more the previous year. Could he be more Patrick Ewing than Juwan Howard? Absolutely. But he's a relatively younger guy with a lot of at least perceived NBA upside that I would rather they didn't have in this hire right after Beard. Woj is definitely always going to carry water for his NBA sources though, of which I'd assume Ham's agent was for this tweet.

Rough week in Lubbock, can't even convince their alumni to come back to that shithole

Would be interesting to see who they reached out to, I'm sure the Stevens/Few/Wright types turned them down which should hopefully quiet the people who wanted us to make them say no

UNC hiring Hubert Davis as their HC, I'd be very disappointed if I were a fan of theirs, especially with how the national media called it the best coaching job in the country. Think all of their coaches since Dean Smith have had strong ties to the program but hate the mindset that they have to hire their own.

I've heard some people like Sam Vecenie believe that he'll have a good shot at a 2 way contract this year which tracks with being in the Payton Pritchard/Malachi Flynn mold of senior undersized PG "good leader, tough, good shooter" mold

Basketball players don't redshirt unless there are extreme conditions Top 50 recruits NEVER redshirt What you guys are saying is absolute fantasy, and he'd be fine physically

Ham has been one of the most on the cusp coaches for an NBA head job the last couple years, frankly I would rather they didn't hire someone with that much upside and ability

Rumor is it's a Harbaugh deal where they can basically get rid of him at their leisure if they find something better. Maryland is definitely a basketball school, they'll find someone at some point.

Tweetdeck is one page, I'd assume he uses it since it's much quicker than normal Twitter

It sounds like we're hiring his dad (who was with Beard already) for those out of the loop

Ya Kellyanne's weight loss doesn't look healthy. Damn shame. I absolutely loved Aneesa just flopping on the 1st challenge then puffing her chest in confessionals talking about how she'll stomp other girls, underdelivering is way more her brand than "paving the way for the Challenge to exist in its current format".

They aren't all-stars, but they also have Caruso and House in the league solidly, they've been fine at putting guys in the NBA, but all their guys are rotation+ players

This is without a doubt my favorite quote of today, just absolute dogshit supervillain nobody cares about vibes "YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU WALKED AWAY FROM UNITED SUPERMARKETS ARENA"

Coaching in basketball is way different than football. The head coach sets the philosophy and style of play on both the offensive and defensive end and assistants execute the vision, they're not like a Kwiatkowski who we know is going to be bringing in his defense. That's part of why the Clippers are willing to hire Ty Lue after canning Doc Rivers, Lue wasn't responsible for the offensive style and it's changed (a bit) under him. There are some exceptions like a Yaklich, but even that is blended into the head coaches style to a degree. All we can really know about assistants are who they coached under which may influence how they think, who they are leads for recruiting, and maybe a positional group they specialize in working with which can also be fluid. I'm surprised more teams haven't brought in specific shooting coaches though, there's plenty that work with NBA players independently and if you have a guy fixing players forms I'd think that's probably the biggest advantage you could get in the college game. Someone can be free to correct me though if I'm speaking from my ass on any part of this.

There's literally hundreds of players in the transfer portal just from P6 conferences, he'll be able to get talent. There's no excuse for not being able to get guys to play here while being able to guarantee significant playing time. I know this sounds entitled but it's factual. Minutes+high profile team are the best combo you can have for finding transfers.

The most shocking part of this news is that I am learning that there was a contingent of Maryland fans that thought they were going to get Beard despite still not having gotten rid of Turgeon.

Eh, I wouldn't feel bad about that, every fanbase has people who would respond like that. I would bet I could find people as pissed Shaka "left Texas".

That sounds like a you problem, Goodman is one of the big national guys, and you've heard of FCB

Rough look for Tech fans when this really was the case

Is this good

I'm more in this camp, but at the same time, it isn't a surprise to them and there hadn't been leaks/names thrown out as potential successors

Just browsing the UNC boards and they're even more delusional than us, maybe for good reason. Few, Wright, and Stevens are reasonable candidates to them.
