Jerry doesnât actually think weâd be able to pull Close from UCLA does he?
If we somehow get Kenny Brooks, itâs one of the greatest unintended failed up hires in the history of college sports.
Just for fun I looked into it, Kennyâs buyout is 500K
Seems wildly unrealistic to poach a coach coming off back-to-back Final Fours, but I donât follow things closely enough to be certain.
The big Ohanian could get that in his sleep
I wonder how many interesting stories we are gonna hear about now that Mox is goneâŚ

Also a California native. But hey we can dream lol. Bring me the pride of Waynesboro back home
500k
We need to be in Lexington for sunrise service
Oh the horror!
Wait itâs wrong to cancel functions due to the Hoos performance? Well shit.
Didnât Brooks have some player mistreatment allegations / culture issue accusations not long ago?
The obligatory Tim Taylor mentionâŚgeez.
I hear that Tony Bennett is availableâŚ.
I donât know if Close is realistic or even looking for a new job. Her recent comments seem more like sheâs burnt out of coaching altogether in the current environment and saying sheâs not as young as she used to be. On the other hand, UCLAâs top 6 players are seniors and sheâd be starting over again if she sticks around.
Let speculation begin!
Arenât the women playing in Phoenix?
Final 4 convention probably.
Womens insider on Discord said UVAâs NIL is $2 million, making in the best job on the market (Georgiaâs was 1.3 mil for example)
FYI, this is not former UVA WBB great Monica Wright. Itâs a different person who does a lot of commenting about WBB and politics. The GM of the Toronto WNBA franchise would not be tweeting publicly about the Mystics draft strategy if anyone needs any convincing.
FWIW As someone with both Kentucky asylum escapees and big Hokie WBB fans in the family, I donât think the Brooks thing is crazy at all. He was my first thought.
They like him fine down there, but he hasnât been what they hoped, and he isnât all that happy. He used to speak openly about wanting the UVa job and never getting the call.
I wouldnât call it likely, but it wouldnât surprise me.
