Pope's Assistants

I think Nazr makes a TON of sense, and not because he's a UK guy. I think that connection helps. But...

When he tweeted out support for Pope last night, I looked at his Twitter page. His Bio says he's the GM for the OKC G-league team. Wikipedia says he's also the scout for the OKC.

OKC has had one of the best turn arounds in the NBA. They have done an amazing job of identifying and developing young talent.

I would think that role certainly puts you into contact with players and handlers. I think there aren't a lot of college jobs you leave for--but Kentucky/his alma matter might be it.

He would be fantastic for recruiting/scouting/NIL management.

Plus his son is a 4-star recruit in ND's recruiting class.
