I'm ALL in on Sam "I am" Mitchell! Old enough that he wouldn't use the job as a steppin stone, young enough that he could hang around a dozen years.

DO IT COYLE!!

Savvy move by Sam. He's fully aware there's pressure on the U to hire a coach who isn't white, why not position himself as a viable candidate.

That said, I think Coyle already has someone on the line and it's not Sam Mitchell.

The NBA guys 95% of the time want nothing to do with college recruiting. Yea you can get assistants that do the heavy lifting but the head coach has to close consistently. I just don’t trust Sam to do that. He wants a job. I get it and respect it but he’s not in my top 6. Probably not top 10.

Fancy little nugget at the end by our buddy feek. I asked in the other thread too, but could it be Boynton?

Ace recruiter, experienced, effective, young, and black. Checks a lot of boxes.

He should get a lower level job in college coaching... expecting to jump right into the big ten... no thanks. He'd be a good coach I think but no proven track record with recruiting.

No. I have zero inside knowledge when it comes to the basketball program.

I don't hate the idea or love it. He has the chops with his NBA connections. Can he consistently close the deal as a recruiter?

Given that is the name of the game and we're unsure.... yikes if they hire him.

I look at the history of Gopher basketball over the last 3 decades. . . . it's been below average, make the big dance every 4ish years. Just pitiful honestly. Mitchell can coach I think. Rolling into the living room of a 17 year old with all the NBA experience and ability. That might work?!?
