From what I have heard, Jans has gone through some good rehabilitation. But he has it rolling at NMSU and seems destined to be in P6 by Spring 2024 at the latest, so I doubt he’s that interested. Gordon isn’t even a recruiting AC at OU so that is tough sell. I don’t see Becker or a Nova assistant being interested.
I’d be hesitant hiring anyone associated with Kyle’s time at Utah. He was there for 14 years to only see 3 NCAATs. There was also overlap with Jim Boylen. Yuck.
Lavall Jordan will likely be let go by Butler and he crosses lots of boxes. He’s been around a lot of smart guys, is only 42, has had a couple of good years, and he has ties to IN, MI, WI, and IA.
Brad Soderberg is also someone I’d look at. Won a natty as an AC at UVA and was recently demoted (which made sense with today’s recruiting climate). He is only 59. I think he’d be interested considering his son is HC at Milikin. ISU also makes sense for a guy who has spent most of career in Wisconsin and the STL area.
