Go Gophers!!
Sounds like a campaign pitch. If new guy thinks Larry can coach at B1G level, go for it.

Not sure, but both Jalen and Chet give him a great deal of credit for their development as players.What is Larry Suggs coaching background? Is he an AAU coach?
Hiring Larry as an assistant to be in charge of player development would be plausible.

Are Larry and Chet a package deal??Hiring Larry as an assistant to be in charge of player development would be plausible.
Correct - as only Nebraska was beneath us this year.And if we are going to change our approach to AAU recruiting, this is part of the drill. KU has been making these hires for years. As have many other programs. I have no idea if Suggs can help us land some of the top MN players, but Kyle Lindsted certainly didn't. We can roll our eyes at the coaches that do this, or we can play the game. Hiring top AAU coaches for a staff position should not be beneath us.

YES, that I could see. That would be savvy.Hiring Larry as an assistant to be in charge of player development would be plausible.

The way it would play out is we get the guy who’s never coached above the AAU level and Chet still goes to Gonzaga.Are Larry and Chet a package deal??
It will probably get us on probation too...And if we are going to change our approach to AAU recruiting, this is part of the drill. KU has been making these hires for years.

The NCAA is still waiting for someone to hammer for the sins of Kansas, AZ and LSU.It will probably get us on probation too...
Why?It will probably get us on probation too...
I don’t like hiring a coach in general to just get a player. I’m also not a big hire an AAU guy either. Seems to lead to bad things. Examples are the universities who are under investigation currently. I’d rather hire good basketball people. Let the sleeze stay in the SEC and Pac 12Why?
