Beta move for Battle to go to Wichita.

I very seriously doubt he went to Wichita without feeling damn good about his chances. And with Battle's business and negotiating skills, closing this deal is right up Battle's alley.

I think Alabama is looking good right now...but out of the 3 options on the table I would say just staying at WSU for another year and getting a raise makes the most sense.

His team will be stacked and Indiana will probably open up.

I think part of that is just how Marshall handles his process. I think most ADs who meet with him think they have it all moving in their direction. Our AD was positive that he'd hired him last year. Having said that, I think Bama has a shot. Good luck.

Paul Jr also made sure that Battle went to Wichita with a one-way ticket, with the understanding that we'll fly him back only with a basketball coach sitting next to him.
