Jankovich to SMU

[CourtJester]

That's not why he's going there. From a basketball perspective, he's taken a major step down.

Short term maybe, but I'm not sure about long term. To begin with, Big East basketball has taken a huge hit losing Pitt and Syracuse and more may be on the way out. Larry Brown has hired an excellent recruiting staff and has SMU involved (suddenly) with a myriad of transfers and top 10 recruits (Harrison twins). Not to mention, SMU has an incredible amount of money to throw at the program. It will be interesting to see what happens with SMU. I have long considered them a sleeping giant if they ever got the right person leading the program.
