Jans The Man

[StarkVegasSteve]

Even though most of us have known for a few days, Thamel and Rothstein both reporting it. WE GOT OUR JANS

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

[CovertDawg]

I forgot Jans already beat us in 2019 at the Jackson game.

Fair to say Cohen’s future is tied significantly to how well Jans performs. We’ll see how it goes.

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.

Good info

Molinar (doubtful)
Tolu
Garcia
Jeffries
Cam carter
Moore
Kugel
Hamilton

I wanna keep these guys, and maybe on rocket and cam. Got to find at least 1 sharp shooter

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

I'd like to think he won't have to rely on transfers as heavily here where it should be easier to attract core talent out of high school. But it also might just be where we are in college basketball now. We'll see.

Hire looks great on paper. Hopefully he retains George Brooks or he has no chance to be successful at State I hear

I thought it was how Leach does

He almost beat Arkansas already, at the tournament, and did beat us. He should at the very least be able to recruit better than at nmsu.

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.

[KOdawg1]

A++ hire from Cohen.

He'll need to hit the transfer portal to get us some guards. Hopefully he can talk Tolu into staying.

[CovertDawg]

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.
