I was told that a big announcement was expected today from the LSU basketball program. The person I spoke with heard it on the Jimmy Ott show. Just curious if anyone knows anything or if it is a bunch of BS.

If this is true, I just hope it's positive.

Rumor has it that Dale Brown and Bobby Knight are staging a Pay Per View live event. It's the naked wrestling match we've been waiting years for.

You know what, I didn't think about that when I read about Kent being fired or reading this thread. You are soooo right. That might be where he is going. God, I hope not.

When will the announcement be made? Any rumors on the net or on Oregon boards?

Yikes, that makes sense.

Haven't heard anything about him to Oregon, the only rumor was him to Boise State which doesn't make sense except that he played there.

I went and did a basic quick search for oregon boards and I see Lon Kruger's name tossed around as well as Mark Turgeon. But I don't have a scout acct, so I couldn't see much of anything. I did about a 30 second search so I could be missing something.

I'd like to add, I hope Trent is staying and that this news is that the Training Center will be open next week.

Me neither, I might drop my season tickets if that's the case. Enough is enough!

I just can't see him bolting after two seasons. It could/would really screw up the class we just signed.

LSU basketball will be in utter chaos if this happens - all the recruits will have the ability to look elsewhere!

There is no budget set for a new coach’s salary, Bellotti said. Asked if a “standard” for the business is now about $2 million in annual salary, or double what Kent makes, Bellotti said “I hope not, but I believe it probably could be” the potential salary.


Oregon's BB Search

Well, it looks like they might put up the big bucks to get the man they want. At the bottom of the article is a list of potential candidates...but that was pure speculation on the reporter's part. And TJ's name isn't on the list.

We'll see.

I can't see it either. Only thing I could see Trent disliking about LSU is the apathy from both fans and LSU sports administration for basketball.

There's no way he's going to Oregon, it was just brainstorming.

It probably has something to do with the practice facility.
