We are in shambles. We need a big name, although I would take Grant from VCU. 12 years under Billy Donovan, and his track record are impressive.

when half the team is going to be suspended, i think you take what you can get

Yeah, Frank Broyles jump the gun by firing Stan. He deserved another year with this team. I believe there are only 2 as of right now that are gonna be suspended.

Well, deja vu, we hired another coach. John Pelphrey, what do you think Nick. Personally, I think its a good hire. He took South Alabama to the NCAA Tourney last year and would have went back to back but floundered in the Sunbelt Tourney. He's like 44-19 or close to that in the last two years at SAU, and that is coming from 5 years ago I don't think they won 10 games. He also played for Pitino, was an assistant under Eddie Sutton and Billy Donovan. He helped recruit the two time NCAA championship team at Florida. Believe me, when I first heard this, I wasn't excited about an 84-67 coach from a mid-major, but a lot of people think it is a good hire. I guess we'll see next year as we have some good talent coming back. We played for SEC Championship and made the tourney and didn't lose anyone. As well as a lot of our playing time came out of freshmen. I look forward to being a top 15 team next year, it all just depends on his coaching. I guess we'll see.
