I'm 95% certain that I've heard Frank say that he doesn't assign the scout, they just rotate, take turns.
Marshall's name coming up a lot in relation to NC State, as well as Smart.

Now it's arguable that they're not even the best job in their state. that's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). kstate isn't a better job than it was five years ago, ou isn't a worse job. recent successes/failures are meaningless.unless they move okc, move dallas and ou fball stops raking in money, clothing the entire state in crimson and getting on tv every week, ou will stay the 3rd best job in the big 12.

"Son. This is why we are wildcats. Hard work, pride, the heart of this country. And if that's not enough for you, you can just move to California with your punk friends."
newest name being thrown around down here in regards to the OU job is Steve Robinson"Robinson was an assistant under Roy Williams, coached for a season at Tulsa with players Tubby Smith recruited, then went to Florida State and failed miserably as their coach. He then went back to Kansas as an assistant under Roy Williams and then followed Roy to North Carolina."

ryanmgreene Ryan GreeneWas in a spring football meeting, but just got confirmation from a source: Kruger to #Oklahoma all but a done deal #UNLV
ryanmgreene Ryan GreeneWas told my report two days ago was accurate, but #Oklahoma's third offer too good to say no to. Hearing it's a 7-year deal. #UNLV
great hire by OU
DanWolken Dan WolkenDon't know how much UNLV can pay, but I'd rather have that job than N.C. State or Mizzou
Glad it's Kruger instead of Buzz.
not for kstate
woo hoo, lonnie's sloppy seconds!
tsnmike Michael DeCourcyLon Kruger? How is it that Oklahoma keeps making the wrong basketball hire? I'm convinced there really is no direction for that program.
yeah, capel scares me more than kruger. (recruiting)
