When do you guys think we'll start hearing names? I feel like it

Pikiell firing on all cylinders already and is building a really
strong program at Rutgers. He brings in UConn assistant, Hobbs
to the program. Why couldn't he do that at SB??? I suppose it's
all about the mighty buck!!

Money is definitely the factor.. He has $800k budget just to
hire assistants! Hobbs will probably make more that the new
Stony Brook coach will make. We shouldn't compare us to Big10
programs. They have got millions and millions from football
earning. Anyway, Pikiell did his best with the resources he had.

I think the answer is stunningly obvious why assistants at
mid-majors don't make as much as assistants at Power 5 programs.
There's really no comparison revenue wise between Stony Brook
and a crappy program like Rutgers which has all of the B1G money
coming to it. I don't know how anybody can take umbrage that
250k a year assistants don't come to Stony Brook. While giving
Pikiell "credit" for hiring Hobbs, we should also mention that
he also may have already lost the talents of the one decent
player on Rutgers (Corey Sanders). He's a very talented player
and the only bright spot on an otherwise horrific Rutgers team.
They went winless in the Big 10 with him- I can't imagine how
they can be any worse but its definitely possible now.
On a side note, I'm hearing whispers that Jay may be our coach
on a short term deal to "prove" himself. Not a source I can vet
thoroughly but just throwing it out there.

Thank you ! Sounds like a great replacement if indeed he comes
to Long Island.

I have heard rumors that they have interviewed a few candidates
Baker Dunleavy- son of Mike Dunleavy, currently AC at Villanova
(lived in NYC while working for Merill and BoA)
Lamont Paris- AC at Wisconsin, has been coaching for several
years from the DIII level onwards
Jeff Battle- AC at Providence, previously at Wake Forest and was
with Skip Prosser for years
Martin Ingelsby- has had 7 years of AC experience at Notre Dame
with Mike Brey, Philly high school product
It's a pretty diverse crew. With the exception of Battle (who
has been around the game for a long time), the other three are
young coaches with lots of upside.

paris has strong Midwest ties. anyone know the skinny on the
others, do they have ties to the northeast? tristate area?
where do we want to be recruiting? I assume in-state really
isn't the issue here. but our best recent recruits have come
from places like NJ, LI, MD/DC, and perhaps Ohio
(arguably!?!?!).

Do we have a real shot at Baker Dunleavy? The associate head
coach of the national championship team sounds like a great get.
Hope it gets done.
