Cuonzo got two years of a top 10 recruit in Ivan Rabb and couldn't win a tournament game at Cal. I don't know that any coach could do less with the talent he has had there.
Yeah, he'll upgrade Missouri's recruiting, and underachieve with them just like he did at Cal. So Missouri can expect, in 2 - 3 years, to go from having a 8-24 record to something like 18-14. That will be their ceiling as long as Cuonzo is there.
UNCW people are going to be pissed if this happens.
The State job makes sense, though. K, Roy Pitino, Beiheim, Larranaga, Hamilton will all be gone in the next few years. It would be a good time to get established in the conference. The down side is the fanbase and athletic department.
I'm getting a pretty strong Lane Kiffin vibe from Martin. Seems to be a pretty shady opportunist who knows when to get out of town and lock in the next contract. I guess Porter/Dad know this is a one year gig regardless, so his peregrinations won't affect them, but damn he'd be a perfect fit.
NC State coaching rumors (courtesy of Twitter, Reddit & random State alums)
State's #1 priority is Archie Miller.
Sean Miller has advised his brother not to take the job and it looks as though Archie is telling them "No thanks"
#2 is Gregg Marshall. No word on how Marshall feels about it, but he'll probably be a popular target for schools like So Cal and Indiana.
#3 is Kevin Keatts. If you hear Keatts to State, it means they got turned down twice already.
