I want Hopkins. At some point he was the coach in waiting. He went to a school that has zero basketball history and has had minimal success. I haven't changed my opinion of him since he's at an outpost. The program needs his energy, recruiting and love for the community/school. I think he needs help and bringing in a real vet on the bench would be a great first step.

I think we're over thinking this one a bit. Roy Williams isn't some basketball svengali but he got to coach at Kansas where the program somewhat recruits itself and he can recruit. I'm not sure having an X and O guy over a recruiting guy is what this program needs.

I'll be shocked if Mike doesn't get the job. If he turns it down, I suspect Gerry or Red are the two candidates. John isn't going to turn to Nate Oats because it'll end up being an exercise in contract renegotiation with Alabama. They'll pay him to stay. We won't pay him to come at the level he will attract there.
