I don't know about Stanton, but I'm pretty certain that Cardet will NOT be transferring. This statement will be better understood in a few days, can't elaborate, but stay tuned. Might be as early as today.

I'm now embarrassed to say that I was totally wrong. I was just sure that the new assistant would be Kenny Gillion who coached Wesley Cardet Jr. in high school. Gillion is a VERY well respected Florida HS coach who has a phenomenal winning record. Was an effort made but for some reason Gillion didn't accept? I don't know, but that very well might have happened. I have some reason to suspect that. Again however, that is just speculation, and I could be wrong again. Two wrongs don't make a right, so I'm not wanting to be wrong and feel even worse.

Don't think you are wrong yet. Coach Cole is a great addition, IMO.

OK, so it is still a possibility I guess. BTW, my statement had nothing to do with the hiring of Coach Cole. Apparently he is a valuable asset to this staff.

I keyed in on a phrase from the presser I don't remember being emphasized in the MBB program for the last decade or so: "... will fit the values and mission of our great university." Maybe someone is finally getting the idea that Samford has different values and mission than other publicly-funded programs.

If Bucky doesn't get that very important piece of the puzzle, we don't want him as a coach because a) he doesn't "get" Samford and b) he naively failed to understand those who went before him and why they failed.
I hope Bucky is sincere and isn't giving lip service much like his assurance shortly after being hire that we wouldn't be quick fixing the program.
