Unc Basketball thread

Calipari and staff are/have been the best recruiters for quite some time.  It’s amazing the players they have been able to get over the years.  This is huge 

Just a few notes. 

Malone's coaching salary pool is 4m, so UNC is paying the basketball staff 12.3m a season now. 

Another one to look for is Brandin Knight from Rutgers, "was the lead recruiter for Ace Bailey and Ron Harper Jr." 

So if that comes through the coaching staff would be 

 

Michael Malone 

Chuck Martin (AHC) (500k salary + 70k buyout) 

Brandin Knight (Lead Recruiter) (400k) 

Sean May (350k) 

Pat Sullivan (400k)

"Open spot" (200-300k, this could be another big pull with the available budget) 

 

Support staff 

Eric Hoots (180k) 

New GM - 1m 

Rest of staff and support staff budget is roughly 1.8-1.9m or so.

Not sure many understand how big of a hire Chuck Martin is for the program. Was Kentucky recruiter and then the associate head coach and lead recruiter at Arkansas for Cal. 

pretty much guarantees top 5 recruiting classes each year and a big haul from the portal.

So now he's got at least Sean May, Chuck Martin, Pat Sullivan on coaching staff and Eric Hoots on support staff right now. 

 

At least two spots open on the coaching staff to go and the support staff. 

You're also underestimating Calipari in those scenarios.

Calipari can say to a kid "I've put more impactful players into the NBA than any school over the last 20 years".  Michael Malone can tout that he was run out of the NBA for not understanding impactful players. 

I wouldn't count any chickens yet on top recruiting classes and deep tournament runs. 

On a side note, can't remember where, but saw some interview where the guy was saying the NBA All Star Game should be the USA vs World vs Kentucky - and then proceeded to list the players in the league from Kentucky who would legit give an All Star team a run for their money.  Pretty impressive what Cal did at Kentucky, not impressive on him not getting more nattys.

Knox is expected to follow Martin to UNC.

Not getting the "not understanding impactful players part. An afterthought of a 2nd round pick won three MVPs under him.

He's getting it in both threads cuz his takes are so bad

It's an ongoing theme. If you point out that he's being an idiot with terrible takes he just blocks you. The guy is probably seeing very few posters' comments at this point. I honestly didn't pay any attention to who I was actually responding to. Now it makes sense. LOL
