Duke's Dawkins to take Stanford Job.

Nolan also is very close with Coach K.

And NC, I don't think Jay has ever been interested in coaching, but boy would that help with recruits.

he may be close to K but that relationship doesn't even hold a candle to the one Smith has with Dawkins. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. I'm not saying he's going to leave, but I guarantee you it's going to cross his mind.

I don't think otherwise. I know how close Dawkins and Nolan are.

Edit: Nolan has also just moved in to his new diggs in Durham.

I think it's going to be Nate James. Mark seems to think so also.

Nate would really help while K is busy with the olympic team. Because Nate would not join that staff, and would be busting it on the recruiting trail.

FWIW, Nate James also runs a summer bball camp in Durham with Chris Carrawell.

 

[Dylan Stevens]

Yep.

 

[NEW COACH]

Not their first choice.

 

[droski]

I'm not sure this is an upgrade for stanford at all. This AD is sure looking dumb.

 

[Chemvol]

Nevermind me. I just hadn't posted in this forum in a while.

:sleep:

I've actually heard from a couple of people at Duke that Nate James is a possiblily. He was just brought in as the strength and conditioning coach and the guys already love him, so you never know.

I also think he would make a great recruiter.

You were correct - indeed he was a possibility. He got the job.
