I'll adjust my expectations as far as wins and losses go from year to year. What I'll be following the closest these first couple of years is recruiting.

Can this dude recruit top 200 kids? Can he build out his staff with coaches that can get in the door nd attract major talent?

My biggest questions surrounding this guy is why his entire coaching career has been at such a low level. If Roy Williams loves him so much why didn't he put him on his staff between his stops as an assistant at Elon, High Point and UNCG?

Why has has been stuck at UNCG for 10 years? I don't buy because he wanted the UNC job. They could have hired him away from anywhere. And he probably wouldn't have had a better shot at it had he left UNCG and proven himself elsewhere.

I will say this, like it not, if he doesn't have this team at 20 wins by year 3 at the latest then this basketball program will suffer. I hope they chose someone they expect can get this up and running quickly. Because that 5 1/2 year rebuild he did at UNCG aint going to cut it here.

We know, you say this every day. Wes Miller is the coach now. This is the thread for discussing him.

McMillan most definitely part of Miller era. If he doesn’t land McMillan or rayvon UC basketball might never be same. Not because they some generational talents, the fan base is fragile right now. We can’t survive another oj/Beasley/bill situation.

I think I kinda have higher expectations for him right away too. Only because the portal is what it is. There are more than enough parts out there to piece together a roster that can at least be a little competitive next year.

I don't expect any of our guys back. Just seems like once they go into the portal they plan to leave no matter who our coach is.

I think UA bought out of the contract. Uc will probably be looking for a new vendor

Mason is following Miller now FWIW, I know it usually doesn't mean anything.. But Mason has a legit shot to play a lot this year and he would be making a lateral move or a go to a lower level school if he leaves. I think New Mexico and St Louis were his two biggest ones
