Bryce Drew
2011–12 Valparaiso 22–12 14–4 1st NIT First Round
2012–13 Valparaiso 26–8 13–3 1st NCAA Second Round
2013–14 Valparaiso 18–16 9–7 4th CIT First Round
2014–15 Valparaiso 28–6 13–3 1st NCAA Second Round
2015–16 Valparaiso 24–5 14–2 1st
He's from Baton Rouge. Would be able to lock down Louisiana talent and a tremendous coach.
Jerod Haase
2012–13 UAB 16–17 7–9 T–7th
2013–14 UAB 18–13 7–9 T–8th
2014–15 UAB 20–16 12–6 T–4th NCAA Round of 32
2015–16 UAB 21–5 11–2
Improved every season. Will make the NCAA again this year
Please list some other realistic coaches we would hire.

Keep this for 2017 bud.

Neither one seems "realistic". Those guys are established and have turned down bigger offers.

Tony Bennett - heard wife was from
BR?
Avery Johnson - from LA
Archie Miller - ready for a bigger stage

One of her conditions is that KRob starts every game at 2B regardless of how far below 0.100 his average is.

None of those are realistic

I agree. I think when Avery Johnson gets a couple of years in and gets his players there, they are going to start wrecking shite.

Stansbury is realistic

Branching outside of the Dale Brown tree, and say beyond Joe Dean/MSU/Dixie Basketball camp ties(Brady, Pierre) this next time needs to be a priority. Sure, Trent Johnson like Brady could coach X/Os, but neither were highly charismatic to their players, nor elite recruiters. Missed on hiring UVa's Bennett imho. Outside of landing a rising star HC(probably couldn't keep him longterm anyways?), the best LSU could probably do is a solid HC like a Larranaga, Kruger, Howland,etc..type.
LSU fandom is as much to blame as anything, as LSU Hoops(sans Brown era circa 1979-1992) just doesn't get the loyal rabid support needed to recruit to a small 6M populace state on a national level.
LSU landed Pistol by hiring his dad, Dale Brown built it up organically, getting his first big fish in Rudy along with Abernathy, then all his following Parade AAs, now Simmons via Patrick.
Look how many fans support Iowa St at Hilton even in crappy seasons, yet LSU in an semi-empty PMAC has a much better track record of Final Fours, Sweet 16s, and All-Americans. Or the Dayton, Butler, etc..fanbases that eventually will the programs to sporadic highs. Even in the lulls in decades between greatness, schools like Marquette, Nova, Minny, Wisc, Mich, St John, NC St,etc..have Northern and Seaboard fans that show up and love hoops regardless of the caliber of the program as current.
At an LSU(Hell arguably even U-Fla with all their Donovan hardware), the rednecks and locals are Football crazed, the crowds are always proportionate to the current product at hand. And usually very late to come close to selling out until very late in the season, when all the hay is already in the barn(LSU in 2000, 2006, 2009). Only when with a Pistol, John Williams, CJ, Shaq or Simmons do the tix sell pre-season, and maybe the loaded deep 1979 and 1980 DB teams.
LSU Foots and Bases cast huge shadows, and La isn't Texas or Fla or Cali in populace, in relying upon mainly local talent, in trying to have excellence in a third sport. Where as at an Ind, Az, Duke, Kan, Syr, UNC, etc..it's the king program on campus that attracts AAs from all corners of the country.

Good post.
Posted on 2/23/16 at 10:28 pm to Brunedog
He seems awfully entrenched into the Phoe/Az desert..doesn't he own a bar and grill too?
Does he have true D-1 HC aspirations? or just trying to locally build something from nothing right now?

The next hire needs to be an X's and O's guy. I'm sick of these guys who can only recruit but not teach the game.

I can't imagine he will be at TCU much longer...he sucks there too.

They have a new arena that will go to waste since Trent can't recruit.
