Muss or Wade … Only names I’ve been hearing so far …


Thanks Indy. My friend also has heard that the call to fire the coach was made by David Miller, an influential booster, not the A.D.

Miller was the guy that raised all of the ACC money in a matter of couple of hours.

I don't know about John Groce, but I wouldn't be thrilled if I were Louisville. With Groce, what annoyed me was he had never finished better than 3rd in the MAC. The beauty of the NCAA tournament is anything can happen. Making the Sweet 16 didn't make him magically a great coach.

With Dusty May, I don't really know. He took over a program that was mediocre for at least a decade. However, he was also mediocre for the first 4 seasons. Then he got this group together and they won a lot of games and made him a lot of money. So can he get that type of talent advantage at Louisville? maybe. The ACC isn't the power conference it once was, but there are still some legit teams to pass up if you ever want any hardware.

My expectation is May will be good, not great. He's not going to threaten UNC or Duke, but he'll probably get them in the top 5.

I didn't agree with the firing personally ... Thought it was a bit premature ...

But if they can get Will Wade ... It was the right call ...

Muss is staying at Arkansas ...

Medved ... DeVries ...

Those are the 2 names I have heard the most ...

I had multiple people tell me today it'll be DeVries ...

I think everyone might have this one wrong and I think it will be Brian Dutcher ...
How old is Dutcher? Seems like he’d be good with sticking around San Diego.

I know that if I was a successful coach at San Diego State and had job security, the idea of going to the Midwest doesn’t exactly sound like a quality of life improvement.

Little carousel update tonight:

Louisville = Dusty May ... Have been saying this one for a long time ... He is completing his staff from what I have been told ...

WVU = Darian DeVries ... They have targeting him for a while now ... He has been their guy ...

Michigan = Brian Dutcher ... I really think this is a great spot for him ... Wrap up his career in his home state ...

OK State = Buzz Williams ... Really think he wants to make a move ... And with the promise of more NIL at OK State and having to deal with a new AD who will want his guy at A&M ... Now is the time to make a move ...

Washington = Sprinkle ... Been saying this one forever ...

SMU = Everyone has told me that Will Wade is their target ... Muss was a thought but he is gonna stay at Arkansas ...

Stanford = Mitch Henderson ... There is no reason to overthink this ...

Vanderbilt = I have been hearing Chris Mack ... I have talked to Mack ... He says nothing is finalized yet ... I won't get into why but I think there could be a hiccup there ... If not Mack ... Kyle Smith would be their target ...

64 ... He is from Michigan ... Would love to wrap up his career back home ... He spent many years as the associate HC at Michigan ...

Detailed this in my post above ... :)

Basically, Louisville is essentially like Illinois right now. Hiring May was like when Illinois hired Self in 2000 in a best case scenario where Self was the recognized mid-major “golden child”. May might very well be a big success at Louisville, but it’s not like Louisville poached a top power conference coach or someone like Billy Donovan with oodles of past college success and a NBA pedigree.
Not sure about the Illinois comparison. Krueger was successful at Illinois and went to the NBA. Louisville is a hot mess, advantages they had have gone due to NIL and transfer portal. He should right the ship especially if his NIL bag is high.

Who do you think TAMU would go after? Who would be receptive to their overtures? Hoiberg? (Solely because of prior employer)

Whats the word on the Kentucky drama, read they have the money to make the buyout move.

We are gonna find out this week ... I have heard they've got the money as well ...

But fans don't always make a move ... Boosters don't always make a move ...

This is going to fall squarely on Barnhart ... You hitch your wagon to Cal ... It better work ... Or you are going to looking for employment as well ...
