Memphis stinks
Doubt Wes leaves that quick.VT and Mike Young just bought him on staff this season but why not Mike Jones? Spoils the hella outta VT’s plans to do a better job of recruiting the DMV but it makes perfect since for UMD.
Might even throw Wes Miller’s name into the frey. If Maryland was still in the ACC, then hell no, but Cincy going to the Big 12, doesn’t make sense for an east coast guy to stay there long term. Also has solid ties with MD and VA in terms of recruiting
Plus the new coach gotta have legit local ties, if you can’t get players from the Washington or Baltimore Catholic leagues you probly not a candidate for the UMD job this time around …Schools always go opposite with their next hiresDoubt Wes leaves that quick.
Might still be able to get away with the assistants having the local ties. Turgeon still was able to get pretty good local talent despite being from the Midwest, because of his assistants. He just couldn’t coach them well enough.Plus the new coach gotta have legit local ties, if you can’t get players from the Washington or Baltimore Catholic leagues you probly not a candidate for the UMD job this time around …Schools always go opposite with their next hires
Like would you turn down Oats if he wanted to come for some reason? He doesn’t have any connections here, but I’d take him in an instant.Naw mane, the top dudes never had Maryland as an option , you know that …Turgeon def cleaned up on the 2nd/3rd tier in the state tho

Local ties for the Maryland and Georgetown are both very overrated. You can't win for trying.
WCAC/Takeover/Team Loaded - they all act like sending kids local is beneath them and the kids feel the same. They would crawl for a Duke or blueblood offer and none of them want to play in the B10.
And as soon as you give one of those local programs any sort of perceived slight - they will shut you off. DeMatha hasn't sent kids to either program in decades. Assault shut off Georgetown even with David Cox on staff in the mid 2000s. It cost Gary Williams his job. Takeover gets their rocks off sending kids elsewhere. They make you bend over backwards to play 'their' game when they haven't developed **** in a decade. The golden era when Beasley/KD/Jeff etc came out of there is over - even B'More hasn't put anyone out worth the squeeze. Earl Timberlake and bull**** like that is what you're supposed to be placate to? Nope. Hire the coach who can run a program and win games - I would not for a second give consideration to what local programs want you to do. Win first and they won't ignore you. You don't need to recruit locally in CBB to win anymore.
It's like the **** Hunter Dickinson talks about not getting recruited locally - it's bull****, he and others just have no interest in staying local.

Freeman/Wright signed before the Assault blacklisting though once Jeff signed with David Falk.
Outside of Trimble and Jalen Smith, not sure there's anyone I would say moved the needle in a positive direction for either program. Top guys will almost always want to leave, other guys are just guys.
