If Fox were to jump to Arizona State, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Dawgs try and make a similar splash to some of their SEC brethren.

Will Wade goes back to vcu, I think he was a sleeper of a coach and I don't think vcu will miss a beat.

I have mixed feelings about Fox. I think he is a good coach - not a great on, a good one. He sort of punches his weight when you look at his record.
He doesn't get upset alot, but doesn't upset others much. He is 2-5 in the NCAA Tourney and his only win over a higher seed is as a 9 over an 8.
He is 5-6 in SEC Tourneys with one win over a higher ranked team and one less to a lower ranked one.
He's solid. Frankly, UGA could do better (they could also do worse).
Right now they have a program that is likely to win 20 games a year and be in the bubble discussion every year. But probably not much better.

Fox staying at UGA is good for GT. He's an OK recruiter, and I don't think GT would be threatened by UGA for the duration of Fox's stay. He'll win just enough to not get fired, but not recruit well enough to make UGA a program, in my opinion, that they have the potential of being.
I think if Fox leaves, UGA has the capability to bring in a really good coach that can take advantage of UGA's resources and Georgia's basketball talent. I'm all for UGA giving Fox a lifetime contract.

Bobby Hurley takes the ASU job.
Kind of an interesting development.
"Slice" is supposedly a pretty important figure on the recruiting trail for KY. A NY guy so should have an immediate impact for Mullin's recruiting efforts.
Also, this thread is morphing into the "Coaching News" thread.

Yep. Despite his public declaration he's not pursuing anything, every analyst on twitter is positioning both Ollie & Donovan as the front runners, including an indication that Ollie is in fact interested.

Lets hope Billy D stays at UF:
Expect Dayton’s Archie Miller to be Foley’s top target, followed by Xavier’s Chris Mack, Minnesota’s Richard Pitino and Louisiana Tech’s Michael White. There’s some sentiment that Foley will consider assistant coaches Anthony Grant or John Pelphrey, but that’s unlikely considering the scope of how Foley views the Florida job.

I hope Donovan follows through this time. Florida can only hire 1 of those candidates, leaving plenty for us in the future to not be able to afford. I'm more interested in what might shake loose from their current recruiting class. Namely Keith Stone & Noah Dickerson.

Looks like this is close to official.. Apparently Donovan has informed them he is gone. Wonder if Dickerson will open up, and if so, would we be in a position to scoop him up?
According to someone I feel would have a good idea, we dropped the ball the first time around, but would likely have a shot if we pushed.
Someone get Mamadou on the phone with Keith Stone's AAU coach.

Surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet. A very good hire in my mind, especially considering the reported salary is $175,000/yr and use of a courtesy car. He took BC to the tournament eight of his thirteen years. They also won the Big East regular season title a few times during his tenure. He could really get their program on the right track.

A coach would be dumb to not make that move. That roster at OKC...yikes.
You have arguably 2 of the top 5-10 best players in the NBA in Durant and Westbrook. On top of that, you don't have to spend all your extra time recruiting anymore because it's the NBA!!!
Donovan's only problem now is whether Oklahoma has enough hair product in that state.
On another note, one of the best steaks I've ever had was in Tulsa, Oklahoma. So there's that.
