Or we can wait four years and he'll be too good for us. Got to get in early and take a chance.
Are we in the position to take a chance?

The support for this is quite surprising to me. We are willing to stake our future on the current emotion and two games? Do you realize Dayton was 11th in the A-10 last year? [Redacted] beat Duke, State, and UNC this year. I see Archie Miller as an outlier right now - if we hire him I am quite concerned about regression to the mean.

I am impressed by what I saw tonight. But if Wellman has been told to go big, Archie ain't it; Amaker ain't it; White ain't it; and Turner sure as hell ain't it.
It's Shaka, Marshall, or Howland. That's the list, unless a wildcard like Jay Wright comes into play.

He really has.
Everyone pulling for Archie, that's fine, I dig it, I'm not opposed to it, but you must have not been of age when he played at NC State. God, that was an annoying little fucker. One of my least favorite players of all time.
Has some "Wojo" in him, eh?......

I like this reply...it really is a case of floor vs ceiling. My concern is the current state of our program. Say we take a high risk....high ceiling but really low floor. If it tanks...we are out of basketball relevance and recruiting...perhaps for a very long period of time. I am feeling we are in a high stakes situation.

I don't buy that. The ACC is only getting more desirable. If we are looking for a "safe" hire that could land us in purgatory of being a perpetual bubble team, then what are we doing? Swing for the fences, and if you miss, swing again.

Yep, if we whiff on Shaka, Marshall and Howland, we are in a lot of trouble for the future. My gut tells me that we do land one of those three. I think Ron knows his legacy is at stake, and he has an enormous ego.
Wellman has not been told to go big.
Hopefully he has been told don't go with another gut choice when the numbers do not add up, in others words, don't go [Redacted]
I don't get how if we tank we are out of basketball relevance and recruiting. We've just had 4 straight losing seasons and are talking about Shaka/Howland, etc. We're at rock bottom, if we still think we can get whoever now, then we can when we're in rock bottom another 4 years from now ;p
