If Cuonzo ends up at Mizzou, Alford ends up and Indiana, and Northwestern continues its upward trajectory, we’d find ourselves in the middle of one crazy geographic rivalry-triangle.
Huh. I've been going with an extra syllable this whole time: Koo-AHN-zo
I've gone from there to worried that we would take him over better guys because he is "established" and a "name".
At this point I have confidence in Whitman to make the best hire and not to be cowed into hiring a guy just because he's a name
I thought Hoiberg didn't like to recruit.
Someone who works for SB Nation is saying Illinois is talking about offering $4.8m/yr to Tony Bennett
-Cuonzo Martin to Missouri
-Gregg Marshall to Indiana
-Tony Bennett stays at UVA with a big raise
-Archie Miller to NC State
-Kevin Keatts to Illinois
-Will Wade to LSU
-Dan Muller to Wichita State
-Eric Musselman to Cal
-Pat Kelsey to Dayton
-Tom Crean to Assistant Coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves
-Kenny Payne to VCU
Gentlemen! I just got back from the future. Here's what happens:
-Cuonzo Martin to Missouri
-Gregg Marshall to Indiana
-Tony Bennett stays at UVA with a big raise
-Archie Miller to NC State
-Kevin Keatts to Illinois
-Will Wade to LSU
-Dan Muller to Wichita State
-Eric Musselman to Cal
-Pat Kelsey to Dayton
-Tom Crean to Assistant Coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves
-Kenny Payne to VCU
Keatts wins a ton of games at Illinois, sticks around for 17 years. In 2043, the apocalypse occurs (the result of fast tracking AI development in an attempt to manage massive water pollution due to nanotech proliferation). Pretty much everyone dies

Goodman says Mizzou offering Martin 3.5M a year.
ps - sorry, it's this guy who named the figure.

Source tells me the offer is for $3.5m a year
After watching California last night, even realizing the Bears were without their best player, you have to wonder if Cuonzo can X and O or just recruit. I would have liked to have seen Brian Gregory get a shot. He's an Illinois kid from the NW suburbs, was an asst. for years under Izzo then went to Dayton and had a great run before taking the Ga. Tech gig. Realize he got axed at Tech, but then everybody does.
Any chance we can convince Alford to take the Illinois job?
