re: The "what if" game with Fuente ...

I could see him being more of a Pinkel who gets the most out of slightly above average talent

This is his closest analog. We've seen where Mizzou has been competitive in the conference. I've got to think that USC can attract higher quality talent simply due to geography.

Fuente is a fine coach, and we'd be lucky to have him. But of the Big Three, Herman and Smart are slightly more attractive.

Let's hope we can get one of them...
