Take it with a grain of salt, but the Bluejays seem to be mighty confident.

Well....I know absolutely nothing. But, Huss was brought up quite a while ago and thinking was very positive. Now, several days later, silence from everyone on our side. I’m guessing the ship has sailed and BU is regrouping.

Need someone that wants to be here......or we give them an offer in $$/opportunity they can’t refuse. Huss and family happy where they are.....and we just provided him a nice raise.

Hope I’m wrong.....but I don’t think so.

Great insight

Huss staying. Time for plan B. Or C.
I'm interested to see what that would be. Young is the obvious pivot people look at, but I just don't see why he'd leave FSU unless they straight up are not going to compete with a big offer.

That Antigua - UK contract is quite a few bucks less than I expected.
I mean it's in line with the top of the coaching market. Maybe the whole seven figures thing was what they were offering to retain *both* OA and Chin? The numbers thrown around on OA and Chester previously just seem absurdly high.

We could get the top 5 players in a class and win a Natty, yet still go into meltdown mode. Nationwide should be a sponsor of this site, because everyone knows it.
I wonder if people will still be shouting This Is Just Like Self!!!!! Can Never Have Nice Things!!!! from the rooftops in 2050

What are the options now? Assuming Alexander slots into Gentry's role, we need a final assistant. Legitimate question: Has Brad and Josh considered and/or contacted Brian Randle? He is coaching in the NBA (Phoenix Suns). That is assuming he'd be open to coaching in college. Not just any college, his Alma Mater.

There are a lot of coaches who would make good assistants and we will find them, but it’s disappointing we haven’t been able to land our top candidates that have a proven track record and established relationships. Thankfully we had Alexander on staff already and Frazier was willing to come back!

It we had our ace recruiter hired I think Randle would make some sense. I don’t think the current situation makes him the guy we need.

Interestingly, about Randle, is that he is with Monty Williams in Phoenix. Remembering that Monty was our first choice before Underwood.

I say lets just go get Myers Leonard to be the last AC... He is free and maybe done in NBA. Loves the U of I. He knows what a center needs to do to be successful in the league and kids know him. Win win...../s
