That ruins the best tweet I had seen yet: "Intermediaries reached out to Crean and Pitt but neither were interested."

Then who the hell was reaching out?

Looking like uGA and Cream are set to meet ....

https://www.dawgnation.com/mens-basketball/georgia-tom-crean-set-discuss-basketball-coaching-job

... for the sake of #ChaosinAthens, let's hope Cream is just using uGA to pump up Pitt's offer.

From the link above, wtf is the author saying here ...
There has been interest in College of Charleston coach Earl Grant, but his team plays Auburn on Friday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Georgia could speak to Grant’s representatives, but an official interview would have to wait.

The same would be the case with Shaka Smart, the Texas coach who had a brief overlap at Florida (where he was an assistant) while Greg McGarity was there.

... whut? It seems like he's suggesting Smart is a candidate although nowhere else in the article does he talk about Smart in any way. Is he telling us Smart would leave Texas ... for Georgia?

C'mon, sun.

Smart took several years to leave VCU because he wanted the right "fit" and finally chose Texas. Good school. Easy to get players in. Good basketball conference. Why in the world would he leave THAT to go to UGA? The author of that article must've either made it up or misheard someone talking about Kirby Smart. I can't believe there is more than a 0% chance that happens.

I think it is clear UGA is planning on hiring a 'name'.
So Smart fits into it. Just because he may be on their list does not mean he would be interested.

After missing on Matta I expect them to try to lock up Crean in the next day or so.

Crean by himself doesn't strike fear in me. Good not great coach.

I would be really focused to see if Jonas stays with whomever the new coach is. If he leaves then almost regardless who the new coach is we have an opportunity to strike in the local market while UGA reestablishes connections.

Y'all are over-thinking this one.

Cream met with Pitt .... probably got a decent enough offer, would probably like them to up the offer so he needs to create a market ... a bidding war of sorts ....

... now he's meeting with uGA.

The dawgs are getting used like needles in the vacants (#WireReference).

Yeah, it's probably me over-thinking but shiiii, wtf else am I here for?

No one would ever accuse you of overthinking
