Well shoot. I was kind of hoping Arkansas might get him so I could easier follow his exploits with our junior league journalism folks here.

no surprise there - perfect fit. They'll be dancing by 2012/13 season. great hire for them.
Similar to Knight, got fired from his last gig and comes with baggage. He gets another chance. He probably should have stayed at A&M long term.

That's a good fit. He should do well there. It'll be interesting to see what he does to that current class. It's good, but not stand out Big 12. I'd love to see us be in a position to poach players from some of these schools w/current coaching changes. Some legitimate talent could be floating around soon?

It would be fun to get Tech back on the schedule w/BCG

He wouldn't even have been able to stay at A & M...the NCAA investigators were one step behind him...he had to go. I am just glad we don't have to see all the 'Hire BCG' posts anymore...and also don't have to read all the inane posts from the BCG homers who work for BCG put all the posts on our boards.
