Alright man!! We are going to almost beat some teams! Wait? Isn't that what we already had?
I get it and do not blame you one bit. But, we did have to beat out other legit schools to get him. I’m optimistic. Your criticism is valid though.

Based on what? I'm guessing he has zero regional contacts and will likely be in the lower third of the league in recruiting. This is a hire that says we aren't serious about competing for the top of the league and final fours anytime soon.
Had 1 freshman in his most recent class, unranked by all services, and you actually said he should be a good recruiter LMFAO. Meanwhile MW had a 5 star and top 15 class lined up FFS. We dumped Whitey for a guy who is likely one of the worst recruiters by ranking in the country?Attention to detail, should be a good recruiter, learned as an assistant with Pearl. Uses analytics, finds the optimal lineup, good offensive mind, young, took one of the smallest schools to the NCAA and almost beat a 7 seed. Will being tons of energy back to the team for sure
Tony Bennett's last class wasn't ranked lolHad 1 freshman in his most recent class, unranked by all services, and you actually said he should be a good recruiter LMFAO.

Can't tell if seriousGolden was my first choice.
He’s from San Fran: His politics will align w/ the wokeness in G’ville
Never heard of her. I can name 3 college basketball coaches and i suspect that 2 of them are dead.Can't tell if serious
Show me a single recruiting battle he has won, just one and I'll see some hope. Not some BS about when he was an assistant. Seriously, he has to be one of the, if not the worst recruiters in the country on paper. You saying he should be a good recruiter is a joke going against Calipari, Pearl, Barnes, Williams, Musselman, Oats, hell, even White will kick the $hit out of this guy on the recruiting trail. Zero chance he can compete recruiting. We are going to be filled with Eastern European transfer players unless somehow he completely changes as a bottom level recruiter.Tony Bennett's last class wasn't ranked lol
Golden was at San Francisco and got an at large bid...White did what again?
Recruiting will be fine
Yeah, we need to beg White to come back.. Maybe give him a raise and extension..."... with no better than fourth-place finish in the West Coast Conference during his tenure"
Ouch. Hate the hire.
Can we just go ahead and make a list of the members who think it this was a bad hire now, and then just wait and see what the guy actually does before shtting on him non-stop?
Maybe he will turn out to be a good coach. Hell, maybe he's some kind of genius who figured out how to apply quantum mechanics to college BB and we'll change the name of the student section to the Quarks. But to say he should be a good recruiter when I seriously think he has never recruited a single ranked player is a joke. Am I missing something? I went back through 2019 on Rivals and San Francisco has a ranking of 0.0, not a single Rivals ranked player his entire coaching stint.I'm underwhelmed but I also would have been underwhelmed by just about every other name I heard a couple of days ago. It's a crapshoot out there.
