Staley is not coming to the Hornets.

 

She probably goes back to Virginia if anything.

She will not coach another college team except SC for a long time. Not sure if you are familiar with college coach contracts but a thing called a ‘buyout’ exists. There’s not a school in America that would touch her buyout right now.

It’s either the NBA or South Carolina.

NBA is not a option.

 

If they hire a woman HC it will be Hammon who gets that first opportunity.

Disagree, especially from the Hornets perspective, Staley has proven success has a head coach, Hammon does not.

Not to mention Staley is a local. She led the Sting to the WNBA Finals.

Staley has a much better chance of becoming the Hornets HC than Hammon, though I do agree, it’s unlikely Staley will be the HC of the Hornets.

We can disagree. These are just opinions at the end of the day. None of us really know what will happen.

I mean I do agree it’s unlikely she’s in the NBA, she has a sweet gig, why leave.

If I was her I wouldn’t even want the Hornets job.

Definitely didn't see that one coming. 

I did.

 

Kentucky is a blue blood in college basketball. That team hasn't won a Nat'l championship since 2012 and Calipari has been producing star NBA talent ever since he took over. Some of the best players in the NBA have all came from Kentucky. The fact he only had 1 Nat'l championship despite have the best recruiting classes was a red flag. Kentucky was ready to move on and Calipari obviously felt that pressure to leave.

Calipari hasn't been "producing" poo in terms of NBA talent. They just can't go straight to the draft out of HS so they have to stop in Lexington or Durham for a cup of coffee first.

I now believe you when you say you don't watch NBA basketball.

 

There is no other HC in college basketball who has produced more NBA talent than Calipari.

You're not understanding what I'm saying. Those guys were already high level NBA prospects before they ever stepped foot in Lexington (or Durham). They just weren't draft eligible so they had to play a year of college ball. That year of college ball did nothing for their draft prospects. They were already considered elite prospects. They would've been drafted at pretty much the same spot straight out of HS. Let's be real, you're not doing much development in one year of college basketball. Cal didn't do poo for them. He just took advantage of a system that required those kids to play outside of the NBA for a year post-HS.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
