2026 Coaching Carousel

[Uncle Rico]

UNC's center is the most attractive big man.

And if/when they have major roster disfunction after the firing.

I think our core and $1.5 for him would get us to 80% of a starting 5.

He has one year of eligibility and is low 2nd rounder in the NBA draft.  So taking one more shot at tournament would be attractive.

The problem is.  St. John's UConn etc will be after him also.

We will have to compete on the $$$ for him with the big boys/spenders.

A shot at the tournament will have little to no bearing on his decision.

$1.5 million would get us laughed at by his agent.

[MU82]

$1.5 million would get us laughed at by his agent.

I was thinking that, too.

I'm one of Scoop's biggest MU hoops optimists, but I'm also realistic enough to know that we're not gonna be landing the big-name, big-money free agents that will be subject to bidding wars.

If that's COLE, I can live with it; I like slaw with my BBQ.
