With Holloway going to SHU and the SEC gobbling up all your favorite lottery tickets, who are next year's? I cant even think of any.

Medved and Odom from the MWC aren't lottery tickets. Medved, with another good season is more of a guarantee.

The Bryant coach and Longwood coach need a level between low major and P6.

John Groce from Akron appears to be very good at actual coaching but doesn't seem to be able to recruit (see his Illinois tenure). That said, HS recruiting has become essentially a thing of the past for most schools. Once you get past the Top 150, there's really no point.

Jeff Boals? He’s had a good run at Ohio.

The Valley has a couple coaches like Valentine, Devries, even Jacobson who seem like good coaches, certainly not guarantees though.

The George Mason coach will be a hot name if he wins anything at all next year.

Chris Mooney has always been someone on my radar. Could he be our version of Larranega? But when I think about it why would he come here…

Mooney was on the very hot seat at Richmond. I think he's done a good job there but Richmond fans see VCU and aren't thrilled with Mooney. I think he's a good coach.....but would be our Brad Brownell. Good coach, terrible recruiter.

Jacobson I always liked but he should have cashed in a few years ago. He's backslidden a little.

Valentine has been a HC for 1 year and took over a machine. They looked about as bad as I've ever seen anyone look in an NCAAT game.
