Different direction, possibly, but a familiar direction.
I still think a couple of things previously reported are true:
- Underwood very likely has his man, and that's why there haven't been leaks.
- It's likely someone previously on the list who initially turned it down. Refer to our hot board.
There's been some concern in Chicago hoops circles that Underwood hasn't focused enough on the city during this coach search, but I'm told this hire will probably squelch those concerns, at least with some.
Great grass roots connections, I'm told, and college coaching experience at a high level.
