[QUOTE="FatGreg, post: 1301454, member: 562927"] I'm sure that the ideal scenario for Underwood is to hire two experienced, well known Assistant Coaches with AAU connections and bring on Gentry (and/or someone like Erik Pastrana) in a support capacity. The problem is those guys are established enough at this point that they could make the jump to full AC at a P5 or other high-level program potentially. Gentry may stay on at OK State if they make him an AC offer. He also has connections to Mark Few and Turgeon. It's been rumored that he's following Underwood, but the fact that he hasn't been announced (a la Joey Biggs) leads me to believe that he's waiting on a few dominoes to fall. If Underwood fails to hire his top targets, maybe Gentry gets an AC offer; if we hire two Assistants and Gentry is offered Director of Player Development or whatever, he may decline depending on his other offers. Essentially, I think it may be Assistant Coach or no dice for Gentry. [/QUOTE]
