Bryon Russell's outside shot improved a lot from junior to senior year. It can be done.
As a senior next year, I don't see AT having a great jumper, hopefully, he will, but it's getting too late for that to happen.
Need to find a couple of post players and a quality PG in the portal.
Or maybe AT works on his perimeter shooting this summer and is converted to PG? Then find 2 post players and a wing player in the portal?
Would be a promising hire. Gets him in the door quickly to deal with the portal to hopefully convince our core to stay and work on filling our gaps. Even if everyone stays, we have only one quality big (Lassina) for next year.
Welcome (soon) to the Beach Chris Acker!
Let's not forget: a national title game and a current Sweet 16.
(And I keep hammering this home, I'm very interested to hear about the NIL strategy overall, plus for MBB - as Smitheran and him are coming from a program that's doing it well having come from a "mid-major" level)
GO BEACH
Checks a few boxes for sure.
Fresh and more modern voice
Has coached both ends of the court.
Has been in charge of recruiting in the past.
Has head coaching experience at the juco level.
Is used to working in the CSU system.
Best wishes to Chris as he apparently is ready to start a new challenge at LB State!
Give him a chance AT, Lassina, Jadon, AJ, Jason Jr., etc.
You could become the first group of LB State players to make back-to-back NCAAT appearances since 1972-1973.
Let's go!!! All for it (and as many here have mentioned, maybe, just maybe, the team is aware).
Time to build up!
GO BEACH
Per tweet from Jon Rothestein, Chris Acker is finalizing agreement to be the new Beach HC.
Let’s go Chris!!!
