Theus is the second best candidate under consideration BY FAR.

Recruiting Class at NMSU

This is an example of what type of recruiter Theus is. He signed a Top 50 prospect from PA and a top 100 prospect from MA at NMSU.

He also won 26 games if I'm not mistaken and took NMSU to the NCAA tournament.

I prefer Dixon, but Theus is not far behind.

Theus would bring a much more exciting brand of basketball than Dixon will bring. He's a run-and-gun type. He also now has NBA head coaching experience, which goes a long way in college basketball coaching.

has it been said why he would be meeting Dixon in Atl?


Don't know the exact meaning, but it keeps it quiet. It'd be incredibly eyebrow raising if we saw Alleva's plane land in Pennsylvania. It keeps us guessing.

In my opinion, Theus is without question a better option than Jones and he's close to Pastner for second choice.

Also, I wouldn't dismiss the Dixon stuff too quickly. The OP was on the right track.

The longer coach Jamie Dixon remains on the job, the more he talks about staying at Pitt for the remainder of his career



I found this online. Coaches lie all the time though.

So if TCU couldn't get Dixon, what makes LSU think they can get him?

TCU is his alma mater...

or does Coaching SEC team, > alma mater?

Great post tuptiger

I'm amazed grown adults are posting about a college basketball coaching search that have no idea who Reggie Theus is

More $$$$$$$$ and the fact that LSU is a 10x better job than TCU. Who knows, maybe LSU is a job that he'd love to take.
