Scheyer staff
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Why can't we have both, if they are elite recruiters? If he is that good, I love the idea of having him and he brings youth - relatable to the kids, comes from a basketball family - so he should be decent at player development.
I will be interested to see how this plays out.
A great x and o’s minded coach that is older and potentially ran a program before

Nice! Welcome! He is an up and coming talent. RR seems upset to lose him, so he must be good. Plus fresh perspective and all that. Was an assistant under Barnes at Texas as well. Known as a good recruiter.
Wow, if they can lock up Young as well, it will be a very productive week for Scheyer and the boys. My only thought, it's a very young staff.
This is MEGA huge guys, this dude can recruit
LOVE this move. We have the two best recruiting coaches in college hoops. This is a really big get for us.
Welp… this one has to sting for Big Blue Nation. He was “their guy” as far as recruiting. They were already on the edge as it is. I’m guessing this has spawned a whole new round of despondency over there.
Kentucky has been pretty good at the transfer portal the last few years, (Oscar was a transfer) so maybe Lucas can help with that.
Lucas has been their best recruiter since he arrived. Was the guy who landed TyTy, Collins, Wallace, & Sharpe. Only big time recruit that he wasn’t the lead recruiter on that Kentucky landed since Lucas arrived was Livingston.
Lucas leaving could really hurt them. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see immediate returns from a recruiting perspective because our 2023 class is basically done. However, it should allow us to get a huge lead over Kentucky in the class of 2024.
Great hire, and glad to see we’re willing to go outside the family.
I wonder what changed? A few weeks ago I read that he had decided to stay at Kentucky. Good for us though...
Another sign that UK is fading Even the coaches are getting out of Dodge. I feel sorry for them.
NOT
NOT
It's not enough for Jon to steal UK's recruits; now he even steals UK's recruiter. Louisville really playing the 4D Chess against UK with taking Nolan from us so that we take Jai.
Joking aside this is actually very interesting and not a good look for UK. Particularly interesting is that this can't be about money for Jai as you know UK would have matched any offer Duke gave, and yet he still left Cal for Jon who has no Head Coaching experience? At least with Nolan there were personal factors.

When it was first brought up about us getting him I didn’t like it but now that it’s done I kinda love the move
Wonder if we look at Kion Brooks Jr. he officially entered the portal .
Having Texas, UK and Duke on your resume when you are applying for a HC job is a good look. I don’t think he’s here long.
SWE I must admit you're probably right. Hopefully Jai is here long enough to help launch The Scheyer Era IN STYLE, to further bolster his resume'. OFC
I give him atleast three years but I believe your right that’s a heck of a resume
Thanks bleed, read every word! Loved it!! Tough weekend for Matt Norlander, lol!!! OFC
Pencil me in for 1-2 tops. He will be highly coveted for all options including UK if and when it opens.
Yeah I think he’s going to show he’s a good addition to any program . Much like Nolan it’s only a matter of time before programs start calling him.
Duke’s Rachel Baker has declared for the NBA Draft
...or the model will be copied
A former Nike Executive. They already are convinced Nike is paying recruits and funneling them to Duke.
With this NIL now in place, to go along with the crazy transfer rules, college sports are no longer about academics. They haven't been about academics for quite a while. So why not have a 'General Manager' for the basketball team?
College sports have turned into nothing but a business. Great move by Jon.
