I would like to see Scott Padgett on the staff. There will be a lot of pressure on Cal in Lexington to hire him.

I love the Rod Strickland hire. THis guy is all class. I have heard him speak before, he is extremely good at teaching and will be very well reqpected. I don't see him on the staff for more than a couple of years and he will land a head coaching job someplace

What can anyone tell us about each assistant? We all know about Rod, but what about the rest of them?
