No they didnt consult me but if they would have...I would have explained that it would be a poor decision to sign with a school that everyone knows has a coach that will be on his way out next season. Furthermore, the program isn't in the greatest of shape, kinda like South Carolina who also messed with him, see the connection. That will only hurt Anthony Hickey and his family when transferring comes into play. I agree that being 6'6 doesn't always equal great player but if you have some talent it does. I also agree that there are good small guards out there but Hickey isn't Walker or Boyton if that is the comparison you are attempting to make here. Again, I agree that he won't be out of place in the SEC but he will not be a big contributor based on where he went and what will happen over the extent of his career. He is a good mid major player and got high major recruitment just the same way all kids like him do this time of year...a few guys missed on a couple of kids, a few kids leave programs, spots open up and they go down the list. I mean no disrespect in saying that, Hickey is a good player but not great at the high major level in college. Best case scenerio, he puts up decent numbers on a real bad team at the high major level.

Watched him play for the last few years a hundred times and he has signed somewhere he can't play. Great high school player and deserved to win Mr Basketball, but has no business in the SEC. He is too small, can't shoot it well enough off the bounce, and dosn't make people better when he does use the drive. Won't finish no where near as well in the SEC due to his size. Will have issues defending bigger guards and that could be a problem throughout his career. Furthermore, signed at a place where the coach is getting fired...that spells desperate to me and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up back at Western, Murray, Austin Peay, or even an NAIA after a year or two down there. Good high school player...poor decision though.

I know who interviewed, all of them but have heard no name yet. I know who ain't going based on who they talked with. At least 4 of the 8, I can rule out for sure. I have not heard that Breeze was the guy, but I ain't saying you are wrong. Does he teach PE?

All local names so far but early. Simmon's assistants, Henderson County guys, and Christian County names are dominating the conversation. No Hatcher just yet but big names may go after this job. They have some talent and some good young ones coming through the program at Hoptown.
