Things Discussed:
Favorite basketball candidates. Craig has some off-the-wall ideas (Cornell's HC, Eli Brooks) but we have four we're mostly focused on, plus a pipe dream. Lavall Jordan: no, but floated the idea (Sam's) of Beilein doing a year with Lavall as AHC. Seth: don't like that. Let's get a coach in and start building a program, because that's a long-term deal.
The four gettables (in probable order):May: We may be competing with L'ville? Downside is you'd like to see it go longer.
Nedved: Seth & Brian like. Efficient from 2 vs Virginia: that's coaching.
Devries: Comes with his best player (his son). Has been doing more with less a long time.
Abdur-Rahim. Think he's an interesting idea, but after Devries, which is the "You can get that guy" line.


McDermott? Sam thinks you kick the tires, make him say no. Seth & Brian: Okay, and then he'll say no. But maybe not says Sam.
A fifth: Jerome Tang.
Our brackets: Seth likes Creighton, Brian thinks Purdue breaks through (that's what happens when you lose to a 16 seed right?), Sam hasn't made his picks yet, Craig believes in McNeese State.
