Michael Oblinger - Northeast guy with a current role heavily involved in raising donations. This would be a promotion for him

Adam Walker - Midwestern guy who also shows a lot of experience in raising funds. Also cites a lot of experience in dealing with NIL

Tiffany Tucker - Internal candidate from Virginiabwith a lot of noted administrative experience. Seems to be highly thought of but no cited fundraising experience

My gut

1. Walker from Memphis - NIL and fundraising experience. Memphis has a strong basketball history so he knows the importance of basketball. Candidate looking for an opportunity at a promotion. Has a doctorate for whatever that's worth.

2. Oblinger from UConn - Experience in fundraising at a basketball school. Looking for a promotion and a chance to show he can run the show.

3. Tucker from UNCW - Would be fantastic on the administrative side but not sure how the fundraising would go which is what we need the most. Well liked and would do a good job but would she meet our greatest need?

4. Manhertz from St. Bony - Need more info. I don't get why he would want to leave a school doing well in their main sport and his home turf unless it's for the money. And I just don't see anyone coming here for the money. To me potential red flag as to his true interest though I could be way off base. He may just wanna live in a warmer climate.

Joe Manhertz was an Associate Director of Athletics at Duke. He was distinctly involved in fundraising per his bio at St Bonnies.
