Still early but thought it might be interesting to think of some names that could help with offense/recruiting moving forward in the event any of our guys get promotions or move elsewhere. Some good options might be out there who have East Coast ties and fit our needs. Feel free to throw out any other names:
Matt Brady, Maryland: From South Jersey, nicknamed the "shot doctor", might need a new gig with Turgeon gone; https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports...0211124-ubknachy2zattadsevpieip7my-story.html
Keith Urgo, Fordham: DC native who played at Fairfield and has extensive high level experience at Villanova and Penn State. Stud recruiter who is first assistant at Fordham but should really be coaching at a P5 school. https://victorybellrings.com/2021/04/16/ex-psu-basketball-coach-keith-urgo-fordhams-pat-chambers/
Matt Abdelmassih, Nebraska: Stud recruiter at a program which seems likely to make a change at HC (or at least should). Previously at St. John's and was named the top transfer recruiter in the country by ESPN when they brought in Figueroa & co. Not sure if the recruiting rumors at Nebraska would make him less likely to get hired here.
Mike Pegues, Louisville: Another DC native who played at UDel and is now the Louisville interim HC. Big man specialist who has basically followed Chris Mack over the years. If Mack is unemployed, he could be a good option to fill the Jay Young role and develop Cliff and Dean/build some inroads in Maryland territory.
Tray Woodall, Fordham: Another Fordham coach with significant connections to NJ and RU. Played for Bob Hurley at St. Anthony's and played for Brandin Knight at Pitt. Was an assistant at St. Bonaventure where they always seem to overachieve and find/develop diamonds in the rough.
Brett MacConnell, Princeton: Obvious connections to NJ and Rutgers. Regarded as an up-and-comer and was on our hot board previously.
Bryan Dougher, Fairfield: Don't think we'd look to poach him from Young but obviously very familiar with Pike and the program.
