Gregory is a guy I was hoping they'd go after for awhile. Finally the search is going in the right direction.

Go to Mops' Twitter page and watch the video link about Gregory. It makes you really want him as a coach.

I'm still not sure how realstic these two coaches are. Would they really bail on their university right after getting good recruiting classes? I guess you could make a case that Oregon is a step up from Dayton, but Oregon isn't a better job than Marquette. At this point, I think someone from the NBA or a college assistant coach is more realistic.

I'm getting that feeling also. From what I've read and heard about both, they are committed to their schools, which makes it unlikely Kilkenny can pry them away. At this point, I say they may have to forgo the requirement of having head coaching experience at the college level and settle for just any coaching experience.
