[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Jeff Sheppard

 

[meteordealer]

[LowerLevelSeatA]

I could see Tony Delk

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

I have taken my name out of the running. Please respect my and my family's privacy.

 

[Coach Marrow]

Pat Riley

The GOAT

 

[moses1uk]

Jai Lucas?
Jon Robic?
Who?

Robic - are you serious

 

[JFCats22]

Jay Wright

 

[cbrwalt]

I heard if we can sign this super assistant we would likely get 2 very good players as a result.

 

[podgejeff_]

Brad Calipari and Joel Justus.

 

[Coach Marrow]

Roy Williams

 

[meow_cat]

Larry Bird.

 

[TheDude73]

BYU assistant will be following Pope. He's the offensive guru who's helped with BYU's aggressive offense and has been with Pope since 2015 at Utah Valley St.

 

[Mossip]

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

Brad Calipari and Joel Justus.

I doubt we get them but man they would make a huge splash

Yes but who is this rumored big name assistant?

 

[BIG BLUE GURU]

My guess would be either Robic or Rondo. I have seen hints of a surprise/shock addition and those 2 fit that mold.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan]

Scott Rigot

 

[TheDude73]

Don't know. I just was responding to the thread topic about any assistant.

Is the "big name" rumor being announced today? I'd wager to expect the BYU coach announcement first, then the rest later.

 

[Cats192]

I think he's probably bringing Cody Fueger and Keegan Brown (analytics guy) from BYU.

If the goal is to make a splash hire: Brandin Knight from Rutgers would be the biggest swing.

If we're considering former UK players: Nazr Mohammed is the one. Make him the GM/NIL guy.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

Jimmer Fredette

 

[SemperFiCat]

Above everything, the kids care about money. I don't care what anyone says or believes, this is 100% a business. So, when Pope mentioned that the staff needs GM type guys for NIL stuff, you better believe he's right. That should be first and foremost. Let someone else handle all the business side so Pope can worry about the game day stuff and coaching.

 

[travisbickle]

Slice Rohrssen

 

[Creed Bratton]

Marc Maggard

 

[ORCAT]

My guess would be either Robic or Rondo. I have seen hints of a surprise/shock addition and those 2 fit that mold.

Does Rondo have his degree?

 

[UKMKG]

Saul Smith

 

[trueblujr2]

Didn't Wayne Turner spend some time on Cals staff several years ago in that Special assistant category while finishing his degree or something or am I mistaken? did he do that at UofL under Pitino maybe? I'm confused and don't wanna look it up, LOL.

 

[Chief Paducah]

I am not sure their political or religious beliefs will line up well.

 

[Imafan4evr_]

It’s me. I realized that much like Ugo declared himself to the draft, I could also declare things that won’t happen.

 

[trueblujr2]

Yes but who is this rumored big name assistant?

Will it be announced today or tomorrow when those damn state law required want ads expire.

 

[flacat22]

Disgusting.

 

[502 Wildcat]

@Travis Graf, you are secret assistant coach, aren't you?

 

[Creed Bratton]

It’s me. I realized that much like Ugo declared himself to the draft, I could also declare things that won’t happen.

 

[Coach Marrow]

I’m not sure on timing of Fueger, but it’s always possible to see online reports of expected hires

 

[Tedington68]

Tubby Smith 😉

 

[LowerLevelSeatA]

TCCat, but only part time cause he’s got vacations to plan for the kids.
