Helluva lot better than what TCU did. Braun has a great record between Eastern Michigan and Cal. Nice pickup for them.

This is great news for CUSA. I hope that all these solid coaching hires along with Tulsa's success in the CBI and Memphis in the final four will enable CUSA to return to its stature of 3-4 NCAA bids a year along with a couple of NIT bids.

Very good hire. Has some of the same challenges as Robo Doh.
It will be interesting to see if he can do a better job than Doh keeping local talent @ home.
Just like Dallas, the Houston area is loaded with D1 prospects.
