Do we know who the coaches may be looking at as an Asst or a player that is in Florida? My buddy just sent me a pic of Underwood, Jamal and Antigua sitting next to him on a plane headed for Fla.

Going to Tampa? It should be Kiir. It is not for an assistant coach.

Antigua knows him from being at USF and we obviously have a considerable need for a big.

Any idea when the 3rd assistant and remaining staff positions will be announced?

If one of the three assistant spots is what it takes to get Stephen Gentry on this staff, then it would be idiocy to go in any other direction.

Agreed. I kind of think this may be the hold up. If he was content as support staff, I'd have to imagine, he would have already been announced.

I think it's pretty solid as a "designated recruiter" spot. But if we end up with three designated recruiters, one of whose star has already plummeted back to earth, I think that's a poor staff that will have immediate consequences for the level of instruction and skill development as we attempt to transition to a more comprehensive and demanding system of play.

I know nobody wants to hear that, and I'll try not to get in anyone's face about it, but that's my opinion.

I'd be mildly assuaged if Gentry were gettable in a non-assistant role. Mildly. But the fact that he isn't already on board suggests that that is an unlikelihood.

Definitely your opinion. Walker is known as more than a recruiter. Antigua is known for being a good big man coach. He is a super recruiter, but that is not his whole resume. If the name I am hearing for the third spot is the one, you will have no worries about the staff.
