Who replaces KT Turner?

[Aargh]

You almost have to wonder if this may have been in the works before Turner announced he was leaving.

[RoyalShock]

Done.

From CBS Sports, an agreement in principle has been reached.

Right on! Looks like our staff of recruiting geniuses can also recruit coaches as well as athletes. Dream Team on!

Love this hire, welcome to the staff!

Major Upgrade!

Let me start by saying I really like this hire and couldn't be happier with the job done by our coaching staff and athletic department.

That said, if the eyes of the NCAA weren't on us before they surely are now. Here's hoping they don't find some obscure rule violation and 'based on our past' decide to throw the book at us. I am definetly enjoying the ride, and I do have complete faith that we are doing everything in our power to abide by the rules, but as they say, once bitten, twice shy.

It is getting ridiculous

I would guess that all of our assistants make somewhere in the $100,000-200,000 range. Since, he is experienced, he may come in a little higher than KT or Dana.

Per the Marshall's Contract thread:

$376,000 for assistants (3)
$65,805 for DOBO
$35,000 for assistant (3) and DOBO salary increases
$10,000 additional for FYE 2013, 2014, 2015 for assistants/DOBO
$8,200 for assistant to Coach/Director of Player Development

Wow. First five star in a while next year? This is like the recruiting dream team.

Which one is the 5 star?

[pinstripers]

Prolly the 6'11" kid with the KU offer? Maybe?

I would have thought so too because so many are on him now, but I did some checking and I couldn't find anything about his high school recruiting (probably there though). Chandler however was a top 75 recruit and considered great out of high school.

I was thinking that with Forbes on board, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we will raise our sites slightly and potentially land one. Not so much that we have already landed one.
