Steele has actually said in several interviews that he does not have an agent and his wife looks over contracts.

Agents are basically lawyers, no? I mean the good ones versus the scam artists that steal nil money from kids who are not lawyers.

He should just send his questions to HawkTalk. He’d be covered instantly as I think there could be 100 lawyers right here.

It might have just been to sound like Butler had more choices and is still a prime job even if they were interested. They can’t say they were rejected by Steele which could have happened. It is all the optics.

After lightning struck with Stevens, Butler is a job with Villanova expectations and Xavier resources. It’s not that great a gig compared to other opportunities that are open or will open during this cycle.

Agree. Since Steele was an alum I think many of us assumed he would have a strong interest in the position. Maybe he didn’t.

UNC will swing for the fences and go after the likes of Golden, May, and Danny Hurley. We’ll see how successful they are.

  1. Golden currently has a $16 million buyout and Florida is looking to redo his current contract

  2. May isn’t leaving Michigan. He’s got everything he needs there. He was a student manager for Indiana and Bob Knight in the 1990’s. He’s a Big10 guy

  3. I’m not sure about Hurley’s buyout. But do they want his mouth on the sidelines?

People seem to think they have a realistic shot at getting Billy Donovan. No brainer if the can pull it off.

Maybe Roy Williams comes in for a year while they keep searching

Larry Brown isn’t up to much these days. He’s got a year or two in him for a holding pattern.

This is insane

I do appreciate that LSU doesnt give a fuck, in an industry where most pretend to be holier than thou

LSU wants their guy. Not faulting them there. However, their current coach wasn’t dominating the SEC and giving them reasons to keep him…

Bring back Dale Brown!

Matt Norlander is reporting that NC State was either unable or unwilling to match LSU’s NIL budget and staff assistant pool. If that’s true, the ACC is cooked.
