    I know Mc Garity doesn’t want to pay for a basketball coach, but Ron Hunter from Ga State is a good one.
    Probably get a good deal and with our facilities he should be able to pull top talent.

    I know we have some good ones committed, but can Fox coach them up?...

    I wouldn't go after a 53 year old Ron Hunter. If he was going to be THE GUY he'd have gotten there already.
    I want to swing for the fences, not just be marginally better.

    Agree. He had success when he had his son and the transfer from UK. Since then, not much. Don't think he's the one to lead us from the doldrums. A lot depends upon how much McGarity is willing to shell out. Given the lack of success of the program and the rebuild that would be necessary, I think he'll settle for some bright, young mid-major coach and go that route. Not saying it's what I would like the most, but what I think is most likely.

    History shows it's not really settling to go after a young mid-major, it's just a matter of hiring the right one. I don't see a huge rebuild considering the roster has good talent and basketball programs with a solid core can be transformed with a couple of elite players.
    We've quietly made our facilities very appealing as well. Stegeman isn't big, but it's cool now.
