LA Tech

I hear Michael White is "high" on our list.

Probably ought to get moving now that Bama is in play. Their whole fan base wants White.

We'll know later tonight, but I imagine both Prohm and White will be in the NIT, so their seasons are not probably not over.

 

[Peacone36]

They will be. Regular season conference winners that don't make the NCAAT get auto bids to the NIT

Ben Jacobson is being interviewed on CBS right now. Impressive.

Prohm is my number one, but Michael White is just ever so slightly behind him. I truly think both of these guys will be outstanding and home runs. I guess we will see.

So Gregory is gone @Eric

I like Michael white a lot. Prohm would be a solid choice as well, but I hope whoever we hire can recruit and I hope they won't use us as a stepping stone if they have success in the first 3-5 years

At this point I don't really care if we are a stepping stone for somebody. If someone wants to hire our guy away that means we are probably doing pretty well, and we'd then be hiring from a better place, both in terms of how favorably our job is viewed and financially as well. Yes, the ideal is for the next guy to succeed and stick around but at this point we have to take what we can get.

True, I guess that's a good point.

I like Michael White and Ron Hunter. Hunter is perhaps my favorite. I think he has charisma, energy, enthusiasm, HC experience, recruits well and coaches well. I really like what he's done at Georgia State in a short period of time. Although he might be a hot name after GSU won the SunBelt Tourney and the Regular Season, I would think we cn make the money work. Even with a bonus for gerring an invte to The Dance, Hunter is making around $600,000. I think there is no buyout. Don't know of course, if we can get him, but it would be crazy not to at least have a conversation. While GSU is a good program, Georgia Tech is, of course, in the ACC. Maybe its just me (probably is) but Hunter and Georgia Tech would almost seem to be a match made in heaven.

Interesting twitter convo from doing a search on Brian Gregory

 

[Eric]

Fwiw, that backs up what I've heard.

I actually talked to @dtm1997 about that earlier today.

 

[Eric]

So Gregory is gone @Eric

Not "officially"

BTW, I recommend clicking through to this entire twitter conversation. Interesting commentary about White not winning the big game at LA Tech. The mitigant I'd point out is that if he's able to translate his win totals to a job like ours, the sheer inertia of the ACC would carry us in to the tournament regularly.

 

[orientalnc]

White cannot win the big game? Hell, our coach can't seem to win the little games.

Totally agree. I just wanted to make sure folks saw all of the information associated with those tweets.

 

[orientalnc]

I wonder how many Tech fans are like me? I normally have my notifications silent, but today I have them turned up all the way. I do not want to miss the announcement.
