Lots of conflicting information out there. The national guys are sticking with Wes Miller or Steve Forbes, though Conor O'Neill says those two are out. Forbes has a huge red flag due to his recruiting past and ties to Bruce Pearl and lack of ever working anywhere with academic restrictions.
Miller people are wondering if he is ready for a jump to the big time.
Some mentions of Chris Collins (that makes zero sense on paper since he has been back sliding hard the last four seasons with a record worse than Manning), but a name I'm starting to hear gaining steam is Tommy Amaker who is currently the head coach at Harvard and has worked as a HC at Michigan and Seton Hall.
Amaker likely had his team headed back to the NCAAT this year after four years away, very steady but not splashy hire. Has done well at a tough job. Former Duke player and assistant under K.
My sources say that Miller or Forbes along with Amaker are the top three. Weird...
CoC coach Earl Grant who was on our initial big board is also involved.
Pat Kelsey getting some negative reaction from people in basketball circles warning Wake off him. Not sure what the backstory is there.
Goodman sticking to his guns on the search BTW going counter to the Wake beat people.
