Well done, Cohen. I was hesitant to move on from howland bc I wasn't sure we would make a good hire. This appears to be a good hire, so let's just hope it works out.
I'm hard on Cohen....but he did well on paper with this one. Let's hope it works out well
I forgot Jans already beat us in 2019 at the Jackson game.

In Jans last 4 classes, he's signed 3 HS guys and 8 transfers. Looks like we'll be recruiting the portal.
Probably not a bad idea since I think Molinar is the only person still left from his class. I mean we started 4 transfers this year with another coming off the bench.
Seems like a good coach but can he recruit to the SEC? I'm not overly excited but I hope he proves me wrong. I do like that he is an x and o guy, I just worry about the recruiting
Hire looks great on paper. Hopefully he retains George Brooks or he has no chance to be successful at State I hear
I'm coming around to seeing your point. High School recruiting in CBB is virtually dead to the point of barely mattering outside of getting 1 or 2 and done players at the very top of the recruiting charts.
Being able to successfully navigate CBB free agency is different game than HS recruiting. I'm guessing you still keep Brooks for a high school pipeline, but not at the sacrifice of finding a great portal talent evaluator and free agency recruiter.
A++ hire from Cohen.
He'll need to hit the transfer portal to get us some guards. Hopefully he can talk Tolu into staying.
I think Mark Adams, the coach at Texas Tech is a good comp for Jans....not because of style of play but because they both understand the JUCO market so well and are highly regarded X's and O's guys. They know what is is like to manage difficult personality/second chance guys and get them to play really really hard. And while I don't expect us to become SecondChanceU under Jans, I do expect he will bring in a difference maker or two that is high maintenance but he is well prepared to manage.
