Shaka's kicking himself right now for not waiting. I bet they take a huge run at Archie, don't know his personal list of schools he'd bolt for, but Florida is a fairly good gig. Doubt they turn to Anthony Grant.

For Shaka, even with the prior Florida connection, I think he's probably happier in Texas. Much better recruiting location.

Think it'll probably be Anthony Grant... but keep in mind that Richard Pitino was an assistant under Donovan for three years.

Grant and Pitino? Are you serious? We're talking about a program that in the past 21yrs has gone from nobody to having 5 final fours, a runner up, and two championships. Not to mention the three other elite 8s and sweet 16. They are on par with most blue bloods now and are not going to go for the failed old Alabama coach or a coach who's yet to prove he can even be half decent in the B1G.

Archie will probably leave for Florida, honestly they'll have their pick of the liter of mid major and even a decent amount of major coaches due to what Lon Kruger and Donovan built over the past 21yrs.

Gregg Marshall.

He is from the south and wants to return.

He would have taken the Texas job, but Texas wouldn't offer because Marshall is a prick.

Florida is a better job than Alabama.

"Expect Dayton’s Archie Miller to be Foley’s top target, followed by Xavier’s Chris Mack, Minnesota’s Richard Pitino and Louisiana Tech’s Michael White. "
