Quick count says 15. I’m sure I’m forgetting one or two as well.

Pinky and The Brain...

What did he name him?

I think that's being a bit overblown. The two sides were never all that close on the terms of the contract from what I'm hearing. Kelsey didn't feel it was enough to make basically a lateral move, and decided to stay where he's at.

That came out of left field. Word is they couldn't come to terms with Pat Kelsey earlier in the day and landed on Horn who has been on Shaka Smart's staff at Texas since 2015.

Hearing Kelsey and Shumate are out. Strange.

Biscuit. Head.

Trying to get the top assistant in place first, and then he will go from there. It’s a big one if he can pull it off.

Still very early in the staff building process. John was clear in the presser he was going to be deliberate and not just make quick hires for the sake of hiring someone. Guessing one guy from his NKU staff will join him as a bench assistant. One big time recruiting assistant that he has ties to seems likely, and I have my eye on a few guys but nothing solid yet. I could see some movement starting by the weekend.

He's not hiring Grant to his staff. Come on.

Yes.

Pat Kelsey.

Last 5 recruiting class rankings for UCLA. 2018: 6 2017: 5 2016: 11 2015: 24 2014: 7 Even with back to back poor hires, UCLA is still the top brand on the west coast. They are going to get enough talent to make noise as soon as they get a coach that has any chops at all. From the start, Dixon was probably the best fit, but they have seemingly mangled that situation beyond comprehension. Barnes could work as a short term answer. It's just insane that a job with that much juice could continue to botch the hiring process so many times with mind numbing precision.

I mean, argue away. He's not going there, so it doesn't matter.

Didn't say that at all. There are just some places he isn't packing up his life and bolting. Blacksburg is one of those places. No different than Tuscaloosa.

He's. Not. Going. To. Virginia. Tech.

This. Best in the game. If not at Rafferty's, I typically go ranch when eating out. Kraft's Creamy French at home. I use Italian in a lot of different food preps, but not all that often on an actual salad.

Well. Here we are.

Defender made contact with the shooters hip while he was still in the air. Easy call.

Cronin going to Bama was never on the table. I told you guys that on page one.

5 years.

While Houston isn't all that tall, they have a ton of length when they have Hinton and Jurreau on the floor. They are ultra aggressive on the glass on both ends and really active on defense. If Davis is on from deep they heat up really fast on the offensive end, but can go hot and cold at times from the perimeter. Brooks can also shoot it at a high level as well. Thinking Kentucky in a close one, but Houston isn't going to be an easy out.

A lot of talk circling Kelvin Sampson.

They lost.

Power conference TV deals expiring.
