Actually, Enfeld's been rumored to be on the outs for awhile. Almost from the minute it became public, Muscleman's name was popping up. That's typically not a coincidence. As I've posted a couple of times, these guys have agents for a reason. NCAA can't put the toothpaste back in the tube on NIL or rules around transferring, but they've got some authority on how the posting dates work. I don't see how it would hurt to delay the opening of the portal until after the NCAAT final as opposed to the end of the regular season.
Yet another coach hired with lightning speed. That is the hiring game today. Can't spend more than a couple weeks making the hire or you lose out.
I'm absolutely mystified by this move. USC's just not that great a job for basketball. I'm not even sure they'll pay more than what he's getting at Arkansas. It might put UCLA's antenna's up, because this guys a significantly better coach, IMO, than Cronin.
