Wasn't this guy fired for not being a great coach and being under investigation by the NCAA?
Good thing his track record at the job we actually hired him for is excellent.

He was a superstar assistant coach at Kentucky. The USF gig didn't go well but as an assistant, no one has had anything but pluses.

Your responses are always spot on. :thumb:
Accurate
A lot of transfers out of that program: http://www.verbalcommits.com/schools/south-florida
Some guys aren't good head coaches. I think Groce may also be in that category. Weber, heck, Lou Tepper was a good defensive coordinator, but not a good head coach. Antigua may fall into that category.
Any chance Underwood would consider hiring Keelon Lawson for the third assistant position? If so, we'd likely add his sons:
Dedric: 19.8 pts, 10.2 reb, 3.7 ast, 1.2 stl, 2.6 blk - would be a junior in 2018-19 after a redshirt year. Would likely be the best player in the country for a year before heading to the NBA. SF/PF
KJ: 13.1 pts, 8.3 reb, 3.3 ast, 0.6 stl, 0.5 blk - would be a RS sophomore in '18-19. SF
Chandler: 6'8 combo forward. #24 composite in class of 2019
Jonathan: 6'5 combo forward. #6 in the class of 2021 according to Future150
If Mizzou wants to Porter us, I say we Lawson the fuuu out of them.
Jimmy Collins was a decent assistant coach. As a head coach, not so much.
Dedric and KJ are leaving Memphis. Is or was Keelon employed there?
I heard that Miznoz was going to hire Lawson next year after they let Porter Sr go after Jr goes pro. The Lawson boys will go ahead and enroll this year and be available for them next yr when dad gets hired.

I vote we offer Keelon Lawson $250k to join the staff as Special Assistant to the HC. Anybody with me?
Can't imagine a worse idea.
