Good morning! An industry source gave me these names as ones he's heard are in play, and in no particular order:
- Niko Medved, Colorado State (CSU will be going to the NCAAs so that would could take some time)
- Josh Schertz, Indiana State (heard this one pre-search; ISU will be a bubble team)
- Pat Kelsey, Charleston (will also be going to the NCAAs)
- Kyle Smith, Washington State (will be going to the NCAAs; also a possibility at Stanford)
- Chris Mack, currently unemployed (note I was given was "on the list but has baggage and might be a bit outspoken for Vanderbilt. My note: Not sure his politics align with the school's, either.)
Bucky McMillan (Samford--also going to the NCAAs) is said to be "on the list but not in the target tier."
My opinion: That's a pretty strong list and looks like a legit search should look if that's where they go.
Looks like it's Candice's search and Renaissance is the firm they are using.
I don't *know* who's on the committee but names I got to watch for were Candice, Trace Wilgus, Ena Patel and an academic person I'd never heard of whose name escapes me at the moment.
Will add more as I get things.
