Seems to be a good spot for Groce.

Yes, I am sure that the Country Roads faithful will love a guy from Indiana!! But seriously, I hope so. Groce can leave the MAC for good so I'm not so torn on whether to truly hate Kron or not.

I’d bet on Groce being in Morgantown before sundown on Saturday.

I doubt it'll be Groce. Think he's a great coach, but also think the sheen's off him a bit after the lack of results at Illinois. He'll need an NCAA tournament run at Akron to change that.

If they want to take a big swing, I think it'll be somebody like Will Wade. If they are looking for a guy who is unproved at the P5 level, it'll be somebody on the ascent and with program connections like the dude at Utah State.

I think Will Wade is headed to NC State. Do you think Nova is realistic for Groce? I'm of the belief that Groce is best off going to a school at the level of Dayton or Temple before heading off to a power conference.

Hard to imagine Nova is realistic. They're talking about paying $20m to buy out Cronin from UCLA. I think the reality is that Groce is unlikely to be anybody's tier 1 choice, unless -- to your point -- it's a Dayton/Temple level school first.

Groce’s name isn’t mentioned for P5 positions by insiders.

I heard Wade's interview with NC St. was a disaster but yet somebody very high up at the school is insisting they hire him anyway.

Strange times we live in.

The interview may have been a disaster but his team knocked off Clemson today. Interviews aren’t as important as results.
