i'll take forbes. but i think all signs point to kermit davis.

For Cuonzo Martin? Who cares? He wasn't on LSU's radar and I doubt LSU is on his. His angle, as a native of East St. Louis, is to the Mizzou and/or Illinois jobs. LSU doesn't need to rush anything just because Mizzou and/or Illinois might be looking to hire Martin.

We just need to offer one of the Tennessee guys now, before they go on cinderella runs in the NCAA - Specifically:

Kermit Davis at Middle Tennessee, they'll beat Minnesota

Who is LSU rushing to beat to get Kermit Davis? He's been at MTSU for 15 years. Obviously he's not really in all that high of demand. Plus, he had a bigger victory in last season's tournament than Minnesota would be in this year's tournament. Finally, I seriously doubt he is a target of Mizzou, Illinois, and/or NC State (the other power conf. programs currently looking for a coach). No need to rush anything to get Davis. He'll be there if/when LSU wants him

Steve Forbes at Eastern Tennessee,

He's a different story. I think Forbes is very underrated. He's an outstanding recruiter and his teams get after it. It would behoove LSU to have him on their short list if they miss out on some larger names.

Still, it's all relative to market demand. If you think Forbes may be a serious candidate for one of the other big jobs out there then you move quickly if he's your guy. If not, you have some time to let the process play out.
