Wes has already reached out to every player in the transfer portal and contacted Saunders directly and has team meeting set for tomorrow.

He’s already working to retain the guys who got ****** by brannen
 
Why?

We just landed a guy who had legit interviews at UNC and by most accounts was the runner up.

He’s young, hungry, relatable, and knows defense.

Offense can be fixed with better players.


I can understand not loving him. But saying John was better is just short sighted.

I’m excited, and I just listened to CBS sports podcast and they did a 10 minute segment on our hire and they seem to love it. So does Goodman, borzello, and others,

LOL most of college basketball thinks we hit a home run except UC fans. John Brannen was a nobody to the national media.

I only see one person on this forum that don’t like it. Seems like uc fans Lille it to me

I mean when you are hired on April 14th, and they are open to come back, you take what you can get.

I only really care if Tari comes back, don’t care if mikey does but would gladly take him on our roster this later

Agreed, tari would be good. There is probably upgrades to be had in the portal for every other position
 
I'm on board with this hire and am excited for the future, but on paper not sure he looks any better than Brannen. Does seem to be a better communicator.

Also, I don't get why so many people claim he is a good hire because he was 2nd in line for the UNC job. What does that mean? Is the UNC AD have a track record of hiring great coaches? For all we know Hubert Davis is a dud, what would that mean for Miller? Fact is that doesn't really mean anything.

We'll see. I'm hopeful.
 
When I first looked at Wes quickly earlier I wasn’t very excited about him because nothing really stood out about his offenses (just in the top 150 once in his career)

But his teams don’t turn the ball over (and that mixed with the low assist rate they probably don’t pass much, might look for an open shot and take it).

They take a lot of 3s, which is great. Last year 1 guy took over 250 mid range shots, but the rest of the team didn’t take a ton. I just thought that stat was hilarious.

His teams force a ton of turnovers and crash the offensive glass. Maybe a bit of old school Huggins on defense, with a newer approach to offense.

Everybody in the media seems to love him, so hopefully he’s super smooth and that pays off with recruiting.


I like that we did find a guy with head coaching experience. That’s what I wanted all along.

You can all suck the soul out of me for my post in the future when Wes kills it. But I don’t see it happening.

I will never though not back my coach
 
Oh great we get back to defense (not better than we have ever seen) and mediocre offense. What am I supposed to get excited about now?

This sucks!
 
Yea the more I read about Wes the more I’m all in.

Just glad the brannen era is over.

Let’s move forward and kick the AAC’s ass again
