LSU losing players left and right. Wade gone too?

Good hire for Arky. He's a west coast guy, so we'll see how it works out. I'm surprised Ucla didn't try for him.

NV must be bummed.

It’s a really bad situation for him, IMO. He’s moving his family to the Deep South. White man, black wife and a mixed toddler. He may not make it.

As for Nevada, he could have received a great pay increase and really developed this school. Could have been the next Mark Few.

Oh well. Back to mediocrity.

Wow the SEC really going for gold with their coaches. Could there be an all SEC Final 4 one day? UF, UK, Auburn, Tenn, Ark, Bama, and/or LSU could do it and almost all have done it before.

UCLA coaching search is looking like Tennessee football coach search. They moved on to Lon Kruger and Barnes. Both those guys would be fools to go.

This has become quite an interesting story. did they even call Fred Hoiberg? UCLA is still an excellent job, tho not top 4, it is still in the next group. With that said, I was in the Bluegrass State and heard that UCLA offered J Cal 6 years at 8M per year. Of course J Cal turned that into a lifetime deal with UK. Who can blame him? But to me UK could have taken the first shot at something I mentioned weeks ago regarding the Big 4: Brad Stevens. Does anyone think UK called Stevens or his agent before giving J Cal a lifetime whatever? Plenty of UK fans would not shed a tear had J Cal walked, believe you me.

Can't believe Hoiberg ended up at Nebraska. He should have held out for a better job.

He's from there I believe. I don't see anybody pulling him away. I think he's a lifer there.

That would have been the perfect spot for Musselman to land and he had the most interest going there. Arky got to him much faster. UCLA took too long.
I was surprised he took that job. It's not a really good landing spot. I guess he figured he better get out rather than rebuild.

UCLA's search is beginning to rival Tennessee's football search...

he's an alum or something? If so, jackpot. Bc that school wouldn't sniff relevance in any sport otherwise.
