Averys wife not bad.Great story about his college coach.Just his personality alone makes you think he would be a killer in recruiting.I guess time will tell.

it'd be ineresting to see him and bruce pearl go at it for recruits tho.

SEC basketball is about to really take off. what team is ben holland coaching?

Basically this, for all his faults and how bad this season was, things at least feel different from the Grant era, far better recruiting including having a lottery pick on the squad last season. I’ve heard some names thrown out there to replace Avery like Steve Prohm at Iowa State and Thad Matta and for some odd reason Billy Donovan but I hope Byrne knows what he’s doing cause this could backfire.

I knew it.

What do they expect from their basketball program actually? Are they pullin' out the checkbook for players like they do in football?

right. I think it's an overreaction it's not like it's bad season after bad season. it's one meh season after losing the most superior talent we've had since Spree.

Hell yeah they pulled out the check book (see Colin Sexton)

We need a proven college coach. I saw Mick Cronin's name mentioned, I've always liked him a lot.

If OKC is a one and done in the playoff, Donovan name could very well be out there
