He was Siena HC from 2001-05. Didn't work out but he's been the top assistant under Rick Barnes at Texas and Tennessee. Still young.Always liked him. He's been an assistant for a looong time. Credentials would point to him becoming a HC by now. Why not?
I'd put him on the list. Any interest?
Bob Lanier? wasn't he the guy leaking information to the press about Bannon...and he failed at Siena after winning with the previous coaches players they finished 6-24 his last season.
"Recruiting" and "Recruiting at Rutgers" are two different things. The only coaches who would succeed here in the normal "Recruiting" sense are people like Izzo and Pitino and Calapari and Boeheim, etc. Anyone else is a crap-shoot, even if conventional wisdom says the candidate is a good recruiter.Yes covering for Bannon would've be the right career move.
Not saying he's good but a name to consider. He's one of the best recruiters in the country according to coaching circles
"Recruiting" and "Recruiting at Rutgers" are two different things.
If it ever came down to a Hurley, I would take Bobby over Danny. He seems calm on the bench and his team at Arizona State is doing quite well.
Danny Hurley:
- can recruit
- can coach
- will attract local kids
- has the "it" factor that will sway kids
- has RU roots
- has the Hurley pipeline... St Anthony's..
- has Street Cred
- And MOST IMPORTANTLY, Hobbs must have a fondness for him given their SHU ties......
Making things complicated, if we are to pry him - we need to do it after this season - given I'm sure other larger schools will target him.....
I am big fan of Mike Lonergan from GW he takes bad programs and turns them aroundt
