Not really - Just message board and fringe twitter site speculations.Are you seeing any actual speculation with names?
I might have kept Sutton if he could have kept Stewart and Golden (and maybe Carr). With that not happening, I would rather have someone new.Those would be two good coaches. Then go with a young guy or maybe keep Sutton.
Raphael Chillious is the UConn coach let go with Ollie by the way.
I don't think Golden was pursued.I might have kept Sutton if he could have kept Stewart and Golden (and maybe Carr). With that not happening, I would rather have someone new.
If we were to get the former interim coach at UConn and Mike Rice as assistants, I would not even care about who the 3rd assistant was.
At this point it seems highly unlikely. Wouldn't you think?That certainly would be a good group. Is Knight Not a contender?

You can’t choose your assistants based on short term personell. You chose them based on building for the long term.I might have kept Sutton if he could have kept Stewart and Golden (and maybe Carr). With that not happening, I would rather have someone new.

Yeah, I think it is pretty clear Capel decided Golden wasn't worth it for Pitt. I don't blame him. Golden had an incredibly low ceiling.I don't think Golden was pursued.

I agree that Chillious would be a tremendous hire. I would imagine his brother, Jason, will also get some consideration. He played at UNC and then overseas, was the head coach at App St for a few years.Chillious would be outstanding. I don't want to get too excited about a rumor, but he's an outrageously good recruiter. He has high school, prep school and international connections. He was a big part of Washington punching far above their weight in terms of recruiting. As positively as I feel about Mike Rice, Chillious would be an even better hire. If we can get both of them, we're in business.

Some mix of Jason Capel, Sutton, Chillous, Rice + a savvy veteran (this might be Jason C?) or well thought of up and comer (Sutton?). 3 rd might have to on the cheap if you get two like Cape/Rice or Chillous/Rice or Capel/Chillous. Would Sutton come cheap?
I am assuming Knight thing is done. I would like him here but not adamant by any means.
I guess it’s fun throwing names out there and speculating ,but JC has been in bb all his life and I’m sure he knows the kind of guys he’d like on his staff . Why would he really want anyone with baggage like Rice or anyone from the previous staff ?
Meh. He doesn't have much potential, but he has a very high floor, so I am surprised just because our roster is so bad. However, hopefully it means Capel thinks he can bring in much better talent and right away.That was a mistake. I like Golden's potential. Given the roster, he should have tried to get Him to campus and see what he can do. Golden has some decent offers.

Unfortunately it is what it is , I know I wouldn’t want to play for anyone that abusive and I sure wouldn’t want my child too either . Maybe he’s learned and is a better man , but I’d know if I was recruiting against him it might accidentally be mentioned .Rice is a great recruiter with head coaching experience. Without his baggage he's a head coach somewhere. Obviously, it's coach's call but he would be asset that comes under valued.
I generally agree with this comment. The only caveat I have; if he's anything like his brother, he might over-perform his high school ranking.
The Goldens just seem like winners. His brother is overachieving after overcoming a lot of adversity. Bryce is 6-9. He has a good frame to bulk up more without losing mobility and can play with his back to the basket, which is becoming a lost art. If it's his decision to walk away, I'm fine with that. He has several really good offers. If Pitt told him to look elsewhere, I would be disappointed.
So with KS as coach everybody was saying how underwhelming Golden was now that JC is the coach he’s an idiot . Whose the better recruiter KS or JC ? Give the coach room to breath if he didn’t feel it for Golden or Golden decided he wanted to go elsewhere let’s wait and see who he does bring in before bitching .There is no way to spin this other than a recruiting opportunity lost. If Capel purposefully walked away from Golden he is an idiot.

Go back and read what people were saying about Golden and Kingsby and KS recruiting . I’m not making a judgement on the kids ability I just find it kind of funny on how all of a sudden he was a great recruit .Why would everybody call him underwhelming? He had other good offers back then too.
Seems like a lot of speculation on your part. Don’t understand the insane need to minimize or downplay whatever offers or interest these guys get from other schools.These post season offers can be VERY misleading. OK, Boheim now wants Golden and for
that matter, Jay Wright wants Carr. If anyone believes that these players are anything
but post season "fillers," consider this. Why didn't Cuse and Nova recruit them when they
were coming out of h.s.? Why suddenly now and not back then? Bottom line, those schools
basically have their rosters and their rotations set. They can fit it, but where?....as starters?
I doubt it. Cam Johnson was a grad transfer who clearly was a player. Given his height, his outside shot making ability, he was a no brainer. Can Carr go to Nova and start?? Probably not, but he could be valuable off the bench there. Maybe in a few years progress to a
starting role. Golden is available and Boheim has a spot open, so he hits the decommit
list and sees him and offers. Is he a typical Cuse recruit? I say no.
