I think you had to promote an assistant to head coach that first year. The teams psyche needed it, and you had 3 Top 20 recruits coming the following year....at least according to Rivals.com rankings (top one listed when I Googled 2008 college basketball recruiting class). http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/rankings/rank-1617 Skip died the last week of July. Dino was named coach August 8. You wanted to wait a couple more weeks....when class had already started to name a coach to replace Skip? Who was not coaching at that time that was on your list, because no active D1 coach is leaving his team in August.
This makes me feel old if someone had to google something that happened in 2008.
