    We'll see. An awful lot of "it's a done deal" from people who usually know what is going on right now.

    I don't know much about Steele's coaching to be honest, but what makes it logical to me is recruiting. Bringing in an outside guy runs a higher risk of losing recruits and current players.

    They're going to lose a lot of recruits regardless of who ends up with the job.

    For sure. We saw that with Miller, but maybe not current players.

    Correct. But it was somewhat a system of necessity at the time. We didn't do too badly when we grabbed Matta.
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

    Not really a loss..the recruits are not high caliber...they can be easily replaced.

    They aren't the ones you worry about -- it's the loss of the pipelines the staff has built and the kids they're already tracking for classes in the next 2-3 years that are the worry.

    Losing a coach absolutely sucks and sets most programs back years.

    I've heard this too. But one source claimed Shaka Smart was a done deal. Please let it be Shaka.

    True, but there's no similar case to Thad Matta that I'm aware of on the market this year. There are a few lower level guys that I like, but no one I'm as confident in as I was in Thad back in 2000.
