If Clevenger has applied does that immediately make him the front runner

Depends on who else Somerset is pursuing or who else might be interested in the job. I've heard that Somerset has been very aggressive in their pursuit for their next coach, and if some of the names I've heard are true then Clevenger would not be the frontrunner. That said, I think Clevenger would definitely be near the top of the list for them if both parties were interested, and Somerset couldn't do much better IMO. Good coach and seems to be a really good guy.
