Then he takes another big time college job. He's done enough at Florida.

What does that have anything to do with OKC?

I wonder who Florida will go for. I bet Shaka's disappointed he took the Texas job already.

If they get a big name, it'll be weird since all of the recruits have basically signed LOIs already. I can't imagine Anthony Grant will be the head coach. But will he follow Donovan to OKC?

He might not be upset, but being from the Donovan tree he would have easily been the #1 choice and had he still been at VCU would likely be the next UF coach. Timing just didn't work out.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a play at someone like Archie Miller or even Sean (who I don't really see leaving Arizona right now).

Worst case they end up with a Richard Pitino.
