Dan Hurley Headed to URI

URI should look at Dunlap.
But I think they might go cheap with this hire and Dunlap makes pretty coin here. 
 
 Ahhh the coaching carousel starts a turnin'. Lav will be waiting like a shark outside of a sinking boat.
 
 I was one person who really liked Jim Baron and wanted him for coach of St. John's. I still think he is a very good coach. This job is an almost impossible job. If your a good player and am going to play in the State of Rhode Island, I would go to Providence, being the school is in the the Big East and not The A10. Lamar Odom when there but hedidn't want to, he at first verbally committed to UNLV before questions arose. I think Rhode Island made a mistake in firing Baron and they will find out soon. They need to go after a very good coach like Dunlap. This is bad for Jim Barons son, who will probably now transfer for the second time and hopefully the NCAA does not make him sit out another year. He would be a perfect fit for St. John's, but he would probably never go there.

You're probably right, Moose
As a state school, looks like URI are strapped for cash
They will be looking for "outside" money to buy out Baron's contract
I thought I read somewhere that Dunlap might be the highest paid assistant in the country
Still might be worth taking the job (if offered) to get head coaching experience

Baron would have been fine choice when we hired Norm. He's good at stabilizing programs. He stabilized URI. But can't take you to that next level. 

Was Billy Baron a walkon because of Dad working there? If so he should be able to transfer with no issue.
 
 Let's talk scraps:

Jorda Hare 6'8 210 #113 player and #32 PF was committed to them...from Detriot.

I hear what you are saying but I would think Dunlap would want a job out west closer to home.
He did a great job this year and certainly merits a good head coaching position.

sure lavin would like him
 
 11 years without an NCAA apparance, especially when you play in a multi-bid league, is going to get you fired.
 
 " An extremely thin post player, Hare has a ridiculous wing span and is a great shotblocker that can control the paint. His offensive game is a work in progress but his contributions on the defensive end make him a top 100 prospect"
 
 Hare probably would be a solid pickup, but it depends on who Lavin is closing in on now. Not only that, but should Dunlap move on, Baron would be a great choice for assistant HC at SJU.

 He actually sounds like a perfect late pickup for us whom can be developed. Plays iur style of ball. Borderline top 100, wants to play in a running game and now listed at 6'10". It really all depends on what Lavs has lined up, but he had offers from Michigan schools. Maybe a kid to keep an eye on.
