June 1, 200719 yr Author Andy Katz said he expects it to be filled in the next 24 to 48 hours. He said if they stay "in house," the obvious choice is Grant. But, he said, if they go out into the national scene, look for Jay Wright of Villanova.
June 1, 200719 yr Grant seems like the logical choice being a former assistant.........but doesn't he have even less head coaching experience than Pelphrey or Ford? If they weren't ready for UK, then why would he be ready to take over the 2 time defending champs? Honestly, I don't much about Grant other than he was a UF assistant (one in which the players loved) and his VCU team knocked out Duke in the NCAA Tourney this past season....

June 1, 200719 yr How many years of head coaching experience did Donovan have before being hired? UF was NOT coming off of 2 national championships, correct?
