Fran McCaffery just let go at Iowa. We're about to see what our commitment to Jans is.
You think so?
He's from there. Doubt we hold em if they want em. Is will wade locked up anywhere?
I?m down!
Maybe they go after beard instead
That's not a sucks but whatever situation. That's a you better have a HR hire lined up the second Jans leaves or you'll lose everyone type situation. You can't afford a Rick Ray, Rick Stansbury, or Ben Howland type hire with how good the SEC is in basketball. You need to be making overtures to Will Wade right now if you think there's even an inkling that Jans might take that Iowa job.
That's 50/50. He definitely didn't want to be here at first and I don't blame him. Starkville is a boring ass town. He can't really escape people. At NMSU, no one bothers him. Here he can't go to the damn grocery store without some dumbass who coaches Upward telling him how he needs to be using our post players more. That's a true story by the way from 2022.
We can't match them in NIL when they decide they care. We have LEGIT 2 donors that handle the lionshare of basketball NIL. Oscar and Richard. The other usual suspects help out. Bart Hyche has actually really been helpful getting the middle level donors involved. But when it comes down to it, it's Oscar Miskelly and Richard Adkerson.
The good news for us in this is that it seems like Darian Devries is who they want to hire. A lot of people seem to feel he should've gotten the job when McCaffery got it but Fran had HC experience and at the time, Devries did not.
