I'm not talking about a list of coaches that our fans think are likely, I wanna know if RV has a short list. And no, assuming that he "must" isn't acceptable. When the LSU job, the SMU job an the TCU job opened the lists of "names we're hearing" were almost instantaneous. Does NT really have a de facto drag your feet policy as it seems?

T-Mac said Friday he already heard two well-known names, but was sworn to double secrecy.

With the women's opening Rick took a week to gather resume's and to define exactly what they were looking for. Then a second week for interviews. One interview was last weeks and supposedly a second one was this weekend.

I would think the men's search would be similar. It could go quicker if a well-known or a slam-dunk resume comes across RV's desk.

As for those slam-dunk resumes,I'm still hoping that Vito reports soon that Matt Daniel is being considered for the women's position. He mentioned Daniel a little while back, and even quoted him if I remember right, but haven't heard anything since.

Of course he has a short list and I'll bet he's working every angle he can.

Capel is certainly an interesting name and something I could live with because he's from the Coach K school and mold and he's still really young I think. Tho from my recollection he was pretty meh when he didn't have Blake Griffin on his teams.

Well, being saddled with NCAA restrictions from when Sampson was there doesn't help. But he did convince 3 five-star recruits to go to OU to play basketball, so he can obviously recruit. Having Griffin definitely doesn't hurt, but he was the one that got him to go there.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      Have almost given up trying to figure out time lines with college athletes. Tell me how in the world athletes can transfer three or four times and still be on any path to have the proper amount of hours at a school to graduate. It has become a total joke.
