I havent heard anything about candidates for the USCe job. And Im sure Bundy will come in and tell me they will get Wojo or Shaka.

But what are some legitimate candidates?

Ms State ....Plenty fit that bill, including Smart, a 34-year-old who took VCU to the Final Four last year. But Smart might be a tough get for the Bulldogs.

One coach who's not: Sean Woods, Mississippi Valley State's fourth-year, 41-year-old coach and a guy both national experts mentioned.

Woods led Valley to the NCAA Tournament after the Delta Devils won 20 of 21 games against Southwestern Athletic Conference teams this year.

Contacted on Thursday, Woods didn't play coy.

"I would love to be the next head coach at Mississippi State," he said. "I would definitely bring excitement, a brand of basketball a lot of people like to see and watch."

Another top name is Steve Prohm, 37, whose Murray State Racers are 31-1 after Thursday's NCAA win.

Then there's the older guys - Marshall of Wichita State, Middle Tennessee State's Kermit Davis, a former State player, and Southern Miss' Larry Eustachy.

Assistants might be in the mix too - Cunningham, Robert Kirby, a longtime former State assistant now at Georgetown,

SC - Marshall or bust

We've made it clear that we want our first choice. We haven't gotten a first choice coach in like..30 years.

Not since what's his face came from Duke.



BoT members have agreed to put aside any personal issues they have with Marshall when it comes to hiring him, according to 107.5

If Marshall goes to Carolina, he may take my old high school coach with him. I am all for that.

He was a student at Alabama the exact same time I was and was a water boy/equipment manager for the team at the time. Pretty cool to see someone like that have success and work their way up the coaching ladder.

Should be at the top of the list on name alone.

Me too. Marshall is a slave-driver, but the guy can coach.

Marshall would be great for USCe -- I knwe him well when he was at Winthrop -- was a member of his Tip Off Club there -- an offshoot of the Eagle Club. We were basketball-specific and helped him with promotions and getting a holiday invitational tournament started when he was there... He's driven, and a darn good coach. Good recruiter... loves the kids but has high expectations for them, which is good.
