And then a second tier that includes the unhappy Anthony Grant (Alabama), looking-to-upgrade programs Mark Fox (Georgia), up-and-comer Shaka Smart (VCU), and Gregg Marshall (WSU).

Cuonzo Martin is in the next tier (fallback tier). I think that's the worst Missouri will do, which is OK (but pretty 'meh' to me. Unproven, and doesn't have the rep of comparable unproven guys like Shaka Smart).

Martin and Smart have the most upside, but biggest risk.

Why is Grant unhappy? He's been at Bama only 2 years and is well-paid.

Hire him, and you've got to keep an eye on Billy Donovan the whole time.

Also, on Martin... If Missouri wants him, it will get him. The Tigers can triple his salary without breaking a sweat, he'd be at a major conference, and he'd have huge upgrades to his facilities and recruiting potential.

SMS is struggling to come up with booster money to raise him into the 750k range. If a major program comes calling, he'll be gone.

If you're going to go with a small school guy, go with Kim Anderson at UCM Warrensburg. He's the "Anderson" they should have hired the first time. He's a Norm Stewart guy and has a bright future as a coach. Martin doesn't have that much experience. He needs about three more years in the Valley to prove himself.

Or how bout hiring Danny Manning from Kansas? That would signal the end of days...

MU is ready for a system restore, Quinn Synder v. 2.

Grant is already making $1.8MM at Bama and hasn't really done anything there. I'd also prefer to get away from the full press style - it has left a bad taste in my mouth since suitcase mike left.

I think Smart and Martin are in the same tier; I am weary of Smart, a guy no one would be talking about right now if the NCAA didn't gift him a spot in the tourney.

The Gene Keady tree has a very strong track record, which helps reassure me on Martin. Also you'd have to think he would dominate St. Louis recruiting, something Mizzou has never been able to do.

In 1987, Grant became an assistant coach and math teacher at Miami Senior High School under Marcos "Shaky" Rodriguez.
Sound familiar? ;)
