[QUOTE="nichi, post: 1645036, member: 2156"] Coach Underwood is prone to hyperbole. Huss was definitely interested and reportedly came close to accepting the position. The most mind blowing candidate who apparently showed real interest was the other Young, the one from UConn. In both of those cases, the job and pay were probably at least decent upgrades, but the timing to make a move was off. Heard we almost had another top guy, but there were contract issues. Top level assistants seldom make lateral moves, unless it is to programs like UK, KU, etc. I went over all of UI's top recruiting assistants here, dating back to Howie Braun. Prior to Antigua, who was available for a reason, the most qualified coming in was probably an up and comer named Tony Yates. He had three years of experience as an assistant at Cincinnati and had helped Gale Catlett put together a strong recruiting class. Frazier and Anderson are highly qualified by our own historical standards. As is Alexander. [/QUOTE]
