Read a couple weeks ago he had opened up his recruiting, but I think Tyrin Jones is still committed maybe.

This could be a sign that Peery is staying on in a role as assistant. Between Pape, Bannabie, Jones staying committed and now Mason recommitment... which would be a really good keep
Is there room for him without him being demoted to the non-recruiting assistant role? We have Garson, Hawkins, and Wilkins all confirmed for the main three
I know Garson is tabbed to be the the AHC. I would assume that Wilkins would be one of the recruiting coaches. I'm not sure if JHawk will be doing here, but he was director of player development at UNR which was a not an off-site recruiting position.
Doesn't shoot a lot of threes, his stats vs Gorman were great. 6'8" guard, Evans, Mason are tall too. With great coaching we might match up vs those Big East schools at the guard. Young but tall it should be fun to watch.
The three main assistants for UNR are Noodles Neal, Nate Dixon, and Bill Duany.
Now, I'm not sure what we offered him to come over but if we're retaining Peery, I can't imagine him not being one of the 3 off-site recruiters given that he was basically responsible for the bulk of Kevin's best recruits.
With everything changing I have no idea how many assistants a program can have but i do Know UNC has 5 assistant coaches. So if Pastner has Garson, Wilkins, Hawkins, and Peery he could still bring in one more if he wanted. Then he could also bring in GA's if he wanted also. Dont know if that is his plan or not but a possibility
You can have 5 assistants. But there are three "main" assistants who can recruit off-site, and the other two are considered "non-recruiting" assistants who can coach but can't recruit off-site
