Chris Mack is the big name we're hearing. Maybe some of you UK fans can enlighten me on his time at UL? Not terribly familiar with his history.

As an X's and O's guy he's fine. As a recruiter he's mid. I think he had more players transfer out than he signed.

They were already under Probation for the Hooker thing and then he had that whole scandal where another coach at lousville tried to extort him for some NCAA violations they committed.

Then his personality didn't mesh with the administration... dudes just crabby and didn't seem interested in building relationships with anyone. He often got combative with the sports writers after games. He also liked to post about politics, in his final days at Louisville his twitter profile looked like a Truth Social burner account. Not the best for recruiting young people.

Overall I'm sure he'd do fine at a place like Vandy where the pressure to get to final fours isn't crazy like at Louisville but it would be a weird fit.
