I don't follow AK or Mussleman. Funny that even early on, UofL fans didn't seemed excited about him as a candidate. He looks like he would have been a homerun hire now.

What does USC look like as a part of the B10? Is a typical year a 8th-14th place finish?

the focus at Troy is returning football to glory. Basketball is a whatever.

Mussleman is a great college basketball coach. He definitely hops around, but I think he would've killed it at Louisville. And if he moves on after having success there, then Louisville can hire almost anyone they want.

Yea, its absolutely crazy. Outside of Scott Drew, nobody had even close to the track record that Mussleman did. Especially at moribund programs. Took over Nevada when they hadn't been to the tourney in 8 years and made a S16 in 3 years, only the second in the program's history.

Arkansas had 3 total NCAA victories TOTAL across 3 coaches since Richardson retired...and Mussleman got 3 in the first postseason he had at Arkansas (not counting the COVID year).

He lost 3 top 35 picks last year and the highly touted freshman coming in stunk this year, sometimes it happens. Using that to justify disinterest in him this year is crazy. If he gets the same caliber of players that Enfield did to USC, he's gonna have them as a top 20 team easily and regularly, regardless of conference.

The Muss Bus to USC reportedly a #donedeal.

It takes a special type of ignorance for media members to use "will wade" and "chris beard" names in the same sentence.

Pretty sure that was a fake report. In fact I'm positive that was a fake.

assistant coach leaving is legit…we’ll see on Gard, I suppose. Was reported on local sports talk radio this afternoon in MKE.

Will Wade was using NIL before NIL was allowed. No different than Sean Miller and Bill Self, who were also mentioned in that FBI probe and those coaches were never suspended. Chris Beard is a way different thing and should not be coaching, period.

They may be right, but it wouldn't be shocking for Milwaukee sports radio guys to fall for a fake tweet. Not the brightest bulbs.

Anyway, I think they'll elevate Kirk Penney.

The job is supposedly Beard's unless he chooses to decline.

Not to mention Ive read nothing but praise for Will Wade as a person from former players (even ones who didn't end up at LSU) and CBB insider types in the last year or two. Beyond just "he wins a lot". Which isn't usually the case, IMO.

In theory, Arkansas is a better gig than Ole Miss.

But Kentucky is a better gig that Arkansas. Long game

Beard's holding out for Marquette after Shaka takes the Madison gig.

Huggie Bear not in the mix anywhere yet.

Out of curiosity I looked at an Arkansas fan board and the discussions about Will Wade includes that apparently he can't recruit off campus for two more years. If true, that is a huge hurdle for a P5 coach. Also, maybe why he is not AK coach.

SLU (er, Chaifetz) was smart to have Shertz sign a MOU during Arch Madness to prevent him from going elsewhere until they could make the hire official.

A non-burner account (at least I think anyways)with about 12,000 followers is reporting Coach Cal to Arkansas.
