Come a long way since you were looking for jobs on HQ, I guess.

Yes I have. That was the lowest point I’ve ever been in my life at that time. I’m a very humble person and normally very kind, but that fucking idiot ThePAMan seems to always have something to say and won’t shut the fuck up about me. He’s always making some snide ass remark and I’m sick of it.

Glad you found your way here and you’re back occasionally.

Kimani Young has turned down Illinois.

And there are some concerning things coming up about this Florida fellow Pinkins. I guess Omar Paynes camp is not a fan and has nothing good to say about him.

Well, Omar kind of has a few issues of his own.
Not sure he rises to the level having a say on anything yet. 

Sooooooo, we got nothing right now other than Chet who is certainly a good guy,  and Barney Fcking Fife with an attitude.

So Barney gone. Probably a good thing.

You said they have internal guy they might move up?? What does he bring to table?

Is Bailey from SC still in picture? He looked pretty strong actually.

He has a say on where he goes to school and plays basketball.

Would Pinkins be a problem for Omar Payne?

Sounds like that’s very possible.

I mean...kinda odd to bring in a Fla assistant knowing you got a guy that left Fla disgruntled

Geoff Alexander.  The fluff is flowing down there and he sounds like the second coming of James Naismith

I wasn’t aware he existed until recently . I think Kofi likes him

Sure. But he is not even here yet, and his claim to fame after 2 years is he beat the living fck out of a Tennessee player and was suspended the rest of the year.

He may be right about Pinkins being a dick, but you kind of roll with it when you are the new guy and a bit player at this point.

Not sure if there is truth to the Payne/Pinkins rumor...according to this Gator article, "reunited" doesn't sound ominous at all?

Also a prominent coach's kid IIRC and the 2nd best player on Cook's high school team so is probably networked with a ton of people.

Don't know how viable this list is, but he gets a mention here.
If Gentry is indeed gone we have two slots and one would guess Alexander gets one for contnuity.

Believe it is official (Alexander promoted to replace Gentry).  Alexander has some connections and is well liked I guess

So now there’s 1 main assistant left to make final and then a secondary non-recruiter to replace Alexander
