On today's show I wonder about a number of topics. Is Kevin Schnall the next head baseball coach at South Carolina? If he is, when will he be announced? If it is not him, is it WVU's Steve Sabins? Kansas HC Dan Fitzgerald? How about a wild card no one has heard about? I wonder if men's Basketball coach Lamont Paris is a dead man walking, or if the group of players he is bringing in caan win enough games to make it to the expanded NCAA Tournament? Finally, I wonder how Dawn Staley manages the minutes of a 15 player roster that is arguably the deepest and most talented group of players in the country. Who starts, who heads up the 2nd Unit? what is the growth for Ali Tournebize, Agot Makeer, and Joyce Edwards? How do freshemn phenoms Jerzy Robinson and Oliviyah Edwards fit in? How about chloe Kitts and Ashlyn Watkins return from injury? Will they be back to playing at an elite level? All these and more questions answered and discussed on today's show.
