Antigua and Stephens are two guys that are sure worth considering. The idea of high level assistants and super high level recruiters being hired doesn't seen too bad. Something to get excited about after seasons imploding year after year.
 

What I like about Stephens is that not only does he have relationships with Tyus and Travis, but Draymond Green said that Stephens was biggest contributor to his development at MSU.

Go Gophers!!

I really like the idea of hiring Stephens. I have a good feeling about him.

My Top 5:
(1) Buzz - Unrealistic
(2) Marshall - Unrealistic
(3) Tad Boyle
(4) Andy Enfield
(5) Anthony Grant

DARKHORSE: Orlando Antigua
Pros:
Assistant at Kentucky and Pitt with Jamie Dixon
Considered to the be THE top recruiter in the country and he is the point man with Kentucky's recruiting (already has a relationship with Tyus)
He also coaches the post players (I believe)
Cheap enough to where we won't have to be asking for huge money for his salary and huge money for the practice facility.
He'll bring in exciting recruiting classes and he'll be a head coach within 3 years.
Negatives:
Tim Brewster 2.0 (maybe? But basketball is a much different sport than football. The quick fix seemed to work with Fred in Ames).
Has never been a head coach at any level (this is enough to keep him out of my top 5, because my reasons for being afraid of Flip are the same as they are for this guy).

If we hire the lead recruiter off of Slick Cal's staff, we deserve whatever happens to us. This is the last thing I would want. Huge no.
 

A new Minnesota Tradition - hire only coaches named Orlando.

If he can recruit,coach and relate to kids I would sure interview the guy. Has he ever broken any recruiting rules? His resume,his life in general would lead me to think he is an outstanding candidate. Besides he and Stephens it would be interesting to hear some names of other up and coming assistants.

I don't know what rules he has has not broken. I do know he's the lead recruiter for one of the sleaziest coaches in the game. Given our past, we don't need to go there.
 

I wouldn't have a problem with hiring an assistant, but don't think it will happen. Enfield is like an assistant though. Unproven, but high upside and well known to recruits already. I'd take him.

Do we really want to become a "one and done" school? Well, I guess we've sold our soul to the devil before ...
 


Roy Williams was the 2nd assistant at UNC & Kansas hired him after Larry Brown left for the NBA. He's done ok...
