Matt Abdelmassih a new assistant?

I demand that the hires seek my approval despite the fact I know nothing about the situation or the people involved.

Our beloved Frank Martin was a high school coach two years before he became an assistant at K-State

Huh?

Recruiting we seem to be close to even to the last staff with Lutz and McRoy, maybe a little behind, but in terms of X&O's it looks like we are severely behind now with Matt and Mann.

Disagree with the recruiting aspect. I don't think that Lutz even recruited other than players he was already after while at Charlotte. McRoy was supposed to be an ace JUCO recruiter, but either he didn't do a great job there or ISU decided they didn't want to go after JUCOs. I think that this staff with Matt and Mann is going to be miles ahead of the prior staff recruiting-wise. Just wait till Matt gets loose on NYC.

Two of my sources are now confirming this hire.

Wow, if he's on the same page as Bruce Pearl, Lute Olsen, and Kelvin Sampson, he must be sexy.

Not surprising a KU fan would be attracted to those types- why not a foursome with Huggins thrown in?

I prefer Painter and Jay Wright myself.
