Jay Young expected to join staff per Carino

[AshCatchEm]

this was already the best staff we had when we hired hobbs...now its exception. if knight joins my head is going to explode.

 

[NYKnightFan]

I confirmed Knight coming in very early also! Come on people! If you can't trust some random, anonymous schmuck who has been posting here less than two weeks, who can you trust?!?!?!?!

That would be 2 former Associate Head Coaches and a former Head Coach on the Staff. @Russ Wood mentioned how Rutgers should be able to attract a HM staff with the increased salary money available. I think this fits the bill.

Good staff....but, where's the young gun that can easily appeal to 18 young old kids ?

are you joking with this because you were an avid fan of the last guy whose young gun was Bhatia

 

[Local Shill]

Who has a better chance of working for a major program again, Dhalip Batia or Jimmy Martelli?

Trick question

Knight is only 2yrs older than Bhatia, but was the Big East Player of the Year in College, as opposed to a random accounting student..

Didn't Jay Young go to Marist?

No bonehead, like Brandin Knight.... he was 26 when he became a full rime assistant coach at Pitt. ruman mentioned he was only 34, so he still fits the description as a young gun.

or Karl Hobbs, who became a UCONN assistant at 28ish.

 

[OntheBanks]

I can see it now. People will be posting "Why didn't we hire more older seasoned coaches".
Hiring Hobbs as an assistant coach in itself makes it a better staff than what we had.

With his dad's connections and good PR claiming he learned his lesson , Jimmy has a better chance.
But I hope Dhalip gets a chance to shine and start moving up the coaching ladder .

RU closing in on Knight..... would be the final step.....times are changing already, this "step-back 3 pointer" would be the trifecta (Young, Knight, Hobbs).....

That would be a remarkable staff. Very unlike RU, especially for basketball.

Not sure why you are calling me the bonehead when you were the one asking where the young gun was

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Well?

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Well?

whats up my man......hopefully this gets wrapped up soon......

Good to hear Hawk, good to hear!

Originally, Knight did not fit my view of a young gun because he has been around and is an associate HC....then ruman reminded me that he is still only 34. He may still fit the bill as a young gun. But, he was a true young gun when he was an assistant at 26. A guy who can easily relate to 17-18 young old kids.

You're like those guys on the football board talking about Flood every day for months after he was gone. Here's a suggestion, talk about Pikiell. He's the only coach I'm talking about on this board.....I'm not wasting time making fun of Bhatia.
