New Huggin's protege Head Coach

[Bryan]

Frank Martin is going to be the KSU HC:

That gives us Andy at Ole Miss, Mick at UC and now Frank at KSU. It's nice to see ex-UC asst doing well. Andy did a great job, Mick did well and with Walker saying he is staying that should give Frank a good opportunity to keep the momentum going at KSU.

Best of luck to them all (and Bob)

Disclaimer: Expressions of support for former head and assistant coaches in no way indicates lack of support for the current one. I hope they do well, and consistently lose to UC if given the opportunity. :)

Love the disclaimer, Bryan.

According to CBS, KSU is retaining asst coach Dalonte Hill which means they will likely retain Michael Beasley as well.

I love this move. I'm glad Frank Martin got to be the head coach at KSU and it looks like that he has some great players to work with. Although I do feel a little bad for what happened to KSU with Huggins, you do have to note that Huggs and now this incoming class, has rejuvenated the basketball and whole athletic program of Kansas State.

I love the disclaimer too Bryan. Nice touch. I always liked AK I just thought Mick was the better choice and that AK would someday jump ship if given the opportunity. AK is a classy guy and seems to be doing a good job at Ole Miss. I just have no idea about Martin. He seems shady and he has never been a head coach anywhere before. I feel he was mainly retained to keep the recruits.

Absolutely! In hindsight, I would imagine that Kennedy is thrilled right now, even tho he went through a lot of crap while here.

Think about this -

Two years ago =
Huggins in Cin on his last legs. 300 miles from Morgantown.
Cronin in Murray, KY (pop. 15,000) 325 miles from home
Kennedy in Cincinnati (600 miles from home) wondering if he is going to have a job the following year.

Today =
Huggins - at home
Cronin - at home
Kennedy - Oxford is 2 hours from his birthplace of Louisville, MS

I'm happy for all of them.
