Good hire but not great. Look for them to be in the middle of the conference after a few years.

I thought it might be Hornacek. They would have had to spend some money, but an alum with NBA experience and his jersey hanging from the rafters at Hilton would have been worth it.

Agreed. Glad to have Hoiberg out of our hair, but if I'm ISU, I'm a little disappointed it wasn't Hornacek.

This guy is young but prohmising. Not a ton of experience but has an impressive winning percentage.

I was hoping for Brad Underwood due to him and Huggins being close buddies.
