UNLV gets Chris Beard from Arkansas-Little Rock.

 

The Stallings era at Pitt is off to a rough start ...
Barnes, Stallings face tough questions - DKPittsburghSports.com

Jesus, Pitt is a mess. Top to bottom, a mess.

 

According to a P-D report, Saint Louis is close to hiring Travis Ford.

 

Worked well for Brad Soderberg.

 

Kyle Smith moves from Columbia to San Francisco.

 

Will Wade re-ups with VCU, thus shooting down speculation he was headed to Vandy.

 

Good. I'd hate to see him in the SEC at any school not located in CoMo.

 

Portland hires Terry Porter.

 

And Chef should be interested to know Steve Henson got the UTSA job. If he does well maybe he can replace Weber at K-State eventually.

 

That's four new bodies on WCC sidelines next season.

 

It will be a miracle if he wins 20 games combined the next two seasons. Roadrunners are awful.

 

Though the least splashy of the WCC hires, Kyle Smith has the best background with more than a decade at St. Mary's and a stint at USD as an assistant. WCC is tough. It really demands finding players to fit a system.
