This storyline no longer has legs, IMO. He's set to make a run at Final 4s from a strong multi-bid conference into the foreseeable future. There's really nothing, other than location (southeast coast), to lure him away. Now, if he went to another Final 4 and/or won several conference championships over the next 3-4 years, I could see him start eyeballing a retirement gig to wind down his career.

Myron was very complimentary of our city when he was here a couple of weeks ago, so I really don't want to take him to task, but this is clickbait writing.
Let's look at this logically:
"Power 5." ANY Power 5 school? You think he leaves town for Alabama (whoops), UCLA (whoops) or without just being catty, do you honestly think he leaves town for any program historically in the bottom half of any conference, given his repeated assertions that he doesn't want another rebuilding job? The answer is no, so that eliminates half, and probably closer to 2/3rds of the "Power 5" teams right off the bat.
And, I would argue, far more than that given the historical inconsistency of even the "Power 5" schools. And, to that end, almost ANY offer HCGM would receive would be for a rebuilding project. He's not walking into Wake Forest, Cal, or even Indiana without having to rebuild SOMETHING.
Does anybody really think he wants any part of the smoking crater that's Louisville?
That leaves, literally, the true blue bloods: UNC, Duke, UK, and KU. The first two have succession plans already in place for their own people, he would never stab WSU in the heart by going to Lawrence, and after last March, I think he'd answer a call from UK with either uproarious laughter, a stream of expletives, or both, if he answered it at all.

If all this FBI/NCAA stuff is true:
1. Might be a lot of openings..
2. At schools in serious trouble.
I think HCGM will be back. His recruiting class next year looks to have a LOT of promise!

IF 3Gs does leave, good to know the pipeline is going strong. Jans would more than likely be he first call made (maybe the only call made)
That being said, hard to believe he’d be leaving anytime soon. He has to love the American thus far. Lots of great coachs and programs and I believe it has the chance to get even better.The Assman

“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

“This is like the 50th red-out or white-out or black-out we’ve seen,” Marshall said. “So yeah, we feel pretty comfortable when that happens.”

Wichita State basketball has seen its fair share of ups and downs. Now, with a road win over Cincinnati on their resume, the Shockers are riding high.
"Wichita State basketball has seen its fair share of ups and downs. Now, with a road win over Cincinnati on their resume, the Shockers are riding high.
Wichita State has been an interesting team to follow all season. At times, the Shockers have looked like a top-10 team. On other days, the team has turned the ball over and struggled to win against average teams in the American Athletic Conference. However, in a road game against Cincinnati on Feb. 18, the elite version of the Shockers showed up.
From start to finish, Wichita State played an all-around great game. The box score might not show a dominating performance but nobody makes winning on the road against Cincinnati look easy. The Bearcats were riding a 39-game home winning streak heading into this game and this win by Wichita State will not go unnoticed by anyone.
For all those who doubted whether or not the Shockers could snag a big win, you should doubt no longer. Star guard Landry Shamet (19 points) led the way for the team but it was a team effort for Gregg Marshall’s squad to win the game. Wichita State shot 52.9% from the field (44.4% from three) on the night while dishing out 16 assists on their 27 made shots. Cincinnati was able to shoot 48.1% on the day but was limited from 3-point range. The Bearcats entered the game shooting 36.0% from deep but were held to just 30.4% in this game.
With the game now complete, what does this victory mean for Wichita State?
1. There is still hope to win the AAC...
2. Defense is the key to victory...
3. Shockers are back on the rise for the Big Dance..."
