Keats is going to NC State


Wouldn't surprise me in the least. This was how he handled the question when he was asked:

quote:

WWAY’s John Rendleman asked Keatts on Wednesday if he’s had any contact with anyone associated with NC State basketball.

“I have not,” Keatts said, but he added, “When you win games and you are a coach who has had some success, and we have had some years of success, then obviously your name will be mentioned with a lot of opportunities. I have been so locked in with this team that I have not spoken with anybody, nor do I plan on speaking with anybody, because my focus is obviously on UNCW.”

We asked Keatts if the NC State opening has been a distraction. “It’s not going to be a distraction, because we don’t talk about it,” Keatts said. “A lot of these things you hear are from the internet. I hear it. When you win, people will talk about some stuff. I’d rather they be talking about it than not.”

No you're still missing the point. We have one true slasher in Jordan Harris. Nobody else on our team is a true slasher. Crump has the potential. Maybe TeShaun and maybe Hammonds. Keats would need more slashers and guys than can be really explosive from one end of the floor to the other. That's what I'm referring to. Perhaps we are referring to different ideas.

Perhaps you're just not reading. Our roster, as it stands is largely devoid of legitimate scoring threats beyond Maten going into next year. Any coach heading to UGA is going to have to polish some turds or hope for some early production from the incoming freshmen. Forbes, in my opinion, would be the one most likely to be able to work with the talent we have on the roster to put together something resembling a lineup and rotation that he might have envisioned, but it doesn't change the fact that the team probably consists of at least 50-60% guys he wouldn't have recruited. It's just the nature of inheriting a roster in basketball unless you're going to a place that has recruited at an elite level.

Would Keatts likely have a longer lead time? Most likely, unless he was able to get some pretty stellar production from young players... I also didn't say he wouldn't.

The year before Keatts got to UNCW, the team won 9 games. He doubled that to 18 in his first year, then 25 in his second.

If he's as good of a coach as people think, he will win early at any big program.
