also, uh... i know he said he didn't see Matta get off the plane, but does the dude in this picture look a lot like Matta to anybody else?

 

[deaconson]

Two leaders. Not THE two leaders

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

It looks like he thought he was flying up to interview at UNC.

 

[shogun6066]

Hell yes it does.

I don't like all that Tarhole Blue though.

 

[deaconson]

Wearing baby blue to a meeting at wake?

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Well if you’re a leader in the clubhouse it means you’ve at least beaten out everyone done. Maybe they interviewed first!

Goodman just tweeted that Forbes and Miller are the "two leaders in the clubhouse" according to his source. I don't think Goodman knows anything more than we do though.

Goodman may not know from our side, but it's possible that Goodman is in contact with people from the other side (agents of coaches, etc)

 

[greekdeac2011]

So basically, we don't know anything. Got it.

He looks old, but not THAT old.

Goodman gets shit on here, but he's got great sources and, like you point out, is very close with the coaching and agent community. He's one of the longer tenured basketball insiders in the game, right now. He was a veteran recruiting analyst before he moved up to covering college ball so he's got ties to the runners (who are agents and execs for apparel companies now) and recruiting assistants (who are now coaches and associate head coaches). I've met the man a few times and he can be a gigantic asshole, but he knows his shit.

 

[deacswin]

I can see the similarity with Matta but the hair is throwing me.

LOL. I was 7 hours behind on this thread and decided to skip to the end. I take it this is an accurate summary of what I've missed.
