The Wes Miller Era

[MDW79]

Rumor has it we have our 3rd coach.. and its a good one. UC has the tools to recruit at the highest level its recruited in a long while

Well, who is it?

 

[TheRealMick]

Huge if true, Rehfeldt is one of the best strength coaches around

I never seen it be honest. Our teams started to be soft and was always fatigued. None of our players look like football players in years. Why don’t football/basketball use same strength coaches?

 

[TheRealMick]

D- hire so far

 

[TheRealMick]

The bigger picture is he didn’t get Isaiah Miller tag along with him. No way in hell he gets job unless Isaiah was coming or McMillan was committed here no matter coach. Rather had Martin/Nick to start State of Cincinnati.

All I'm gonna say is I hope that Wes Miller really possesses the elite coaching and people skills that we're all banking on him having, because I see a lot of potential for conflict with this massive influx of UNCG personnel coming into our program.

I just really hope this doesn't turn into a us vs them conflict. I hope its not the left over guys vs Wes Millers guys because at this rate its going to be about half UC and half UNCG.

McGinnis is a Bearcat.

Like my friend, you wasn’t recruiting any top players in portal at UNCG? Where is wake forest and North Carolina connections?

 

[TheRealMick]

**** this I’m pissed. He couldn’t pulled this shit at UNC! Isaiah Miller wouldn’t even been allowed to follow him.

 

[cincyalum2014]

I would say with this signing means DDJ may be as good as gone, there are just not enough minutes to go around for DDJ, MAW, Saunders, Mason, and now McGinnis.... Davenport, Newman and Hensely at the wings and then Korval and Lahkin in the paint.

 

[sedziobs]

I like McGinnis. He shoots a ton of threes, which is the kind of modern basketball I like to see. Seems like a somewhat more athletic Mason. And with both of them having 4 years left, we've got some good shooting for the future.

The problem, as others are pointing out, is the roster construction. We have too many young guards fighting for limited minutes. We're handcuffing our future guard recruiting, and we only have two spots available now for a frontcourt that badly needs some physical bodies.

If DDJ does leave, then we only have one guard who is a great ballhandler and penetrator. I'm not sure what the plan is anymore, but I'm willing to see what Wes does with this roster.

 

[MDW79]

Could not be less impressed.

We've brought in 7 new faces to our program (4 players and 3 coaches). Every single one of them has ties to UNCG.

This is the #1 coach in America under the age of 40? This is what he brings recruiting and connections wise, nothing but UNCG guys?

 

[waterhead]

Obviously there is something to be concerned about here. But Wes is the one who knows how many spots he thinks he's gonna have to fill. Lakhin and DD who knows. Banks?

So we know we have 2 spots. We need a big and I would prefer another SF/wing.

But Wes may know if we have a 3rd or 4th spot available which would mean there is plenty of recruiting to do and bigger fish to land.

I would like to hope we can land 2 bigs and 1 SF in the end or 2 bigs and one big impact wing/combo guard.

It ain't over till it's over

 

[TheRealMick]

I mean seriously how was banks giving scholarship

 

[cincyalum2014]

Wes just hired Chad Dollar to round out his staff.... He was a Georgia assistant... has key recruiting ties to the south... Recruited a former #1 overall pick Anthony Edwards. Also Wes is trying to find DerMarr Johnson a spot on his coaching staff as well.

There is speculation this may have been done by a former coach. I don't know for sure if it's been confirmed

Both of these would be great! There are other fun rumors floating out there as well about strength coach...

I like this hire. Dollar has been all over the place.

Assistant to the head coach would seem to be a logical spot for DerMarr.

Just in case anyone else is reading this and is wondering about the comment about the strength coach, he's refererring to a rumor that Mike Redhfelt may be returning.

 

[TheRealMick]

Dollar also recruited Ashton Haggans(*5) and had him signed to Georgia. He’s who I send after McMillan, Griffin, Peterson and McCaffery
