lol bumping the thread doesn't make news happen...

Was hoping they would have some size eligible immediately as a grad transfer - looks like no qualifying grad transfers.

Anyone else immediately start looking for recruits we could steal or potential transfers?

I don't see how anything Kevin has said in this thread could come off as confusing in any way.

Whitesell has kept the team together. You would normally hear of transfers in this situation. He has the support of the players. It is possible he was a key part of the success and the players recognize it. 

I like the hire.  

He is only person from the old staff that was actually committed to the players and focused on them. 

Kept the team together? There wasn’t much of a team to keep together. Next years success was dependent on the incoming recruiting class, especially the JUCOS, and Whitesell lost every single one of them.

What an uninspiring hire after the season we had.

I'm sold

Probably a long shot they would pick UB, but shouldn't the Big12 be looking to expand by 2 given they only have 10 teams? They've already expanded East with WVU, could pluck UB and another eastern-ish team that plays both football and basketball at a high level like say Cincinnati. It's probably more likely they would pick a regional team like Houston and maybe UCF makes the jump to a power 5 conference.
