Message: [QUOTE="Rocco, post: 1589232, member: 51"] I would imagine that Babers has been on Coyle's radar for quite some time. He basically eluded to it during the presser. The only thing I know is that they were talking to a lot of coaches and agents in the process. Add in the rumors and there were smokescreens everywhere. When Frost was headed to UCF, Babers seemed like the perfect guy. As far as Coyle's hot board goes, it will Frost then Babers. Had it not worked out with Babers, they had 2-3 guys that were next in line who they really liked. They pretty much went full bore on Babers early last week and there was an instant mutual interest and the talks went favorably. The fact Babers did not specifically shoot down Syracuse rumors seemed to be obvious enough for me. [/QUOTE]
