Conzo Martin to Tennessee

Re: Conzo Martin to Tennessee

is Tennessee facing NCAA penalties?

if so, is it possible that they hired him just to be a disposable "fall guy", while the program serves it's penalties, and then they'll shop for a "big name" once they're back in the relative "clear"?

maybe that's not how it works, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Re: Conzo Martin to Tennessee

He has a provision in his contract that extends it for every year they are under NCAA sanctions. So, even if he is the fall guy, he is going to get paid for it...

As the tide turns, I'm going to still say Painter to Mizzou, but I'm seeing things written that put Paul Lusk as the next coach at Purdue (instead of Mo State). I would like this much better.

Yeah..its Washpun, and Missouri State (assuming you knew it wasn't Mississippi State). Seems like he will be a decent Summit league player. I don't really care where he goes since we didn't offer him but I would perfer him to stay out of the Valley. He has some major issues like shooting and free throw shooting, but he is really athletic.

Apparently we did offer him, per this article, but later withdrew the offer.

A couple of radio hosts here, who seem to be well connected, discussed the following today related to all this:

1. Purdue has an average (at best) class coming in next year, and also loses some key players. Mizzou's incoming class is very good. Painter knows this, and has been pretty public about his lack of pay. He's primed to move, or heavily considering it.

2. The Marquette coach (Crean?) is rumored to be interested in the Oklahoma job. The Illinois coach, Webber, could then take the Marquette job, since he's got strong family ties in Milwaukee.

3. All of this could have a big time domino effect, with other coaches then leaving to fill the above vacancies.

If all this happens as rumored, that's where it gets interesting as far as Jake's situation. The more "step up" type openings in the midwest, the greater the chance that someone comes after him hard. Or, at the least, makes a play to steal one of our assistants.

Crean is coaching at Indiana now. He was at Marquette before Indiana. Buzz Williams is the coach at Marquette currently.

I wonder who the heck those well connected talk show hosts were?

Thanks. Williams is who I was thinking of.

As far as the hosts, it was Boers and Bernstein on The Score. They've got a pretty good batting average with this rumor type stuff, so I'd take it seriously. That said, it's a lot of moving parts so all of it coming to pass might be a stretch. So far, Painter to Mizzou is the most credible part of it.
