@TonyPatelis I am committing to posting a daily Top 25 and 1 throughout the entire offseason. I have DePaul at 26 today,

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

@MattGrossenbach That’s awesome. Former Nebraska transfer Blaise Keita made his own in MS Paint a few years ago. Turned out really good and he ended up signing with WKU!

Forwarding this opportunity along to my network if anyone is interested in applying.

JOB POSTING: Assistant Men's Basketball Coach - Loyola (Chicago)

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

A few weeks ago I mentioned several former coaches who are interviewing for jobs this cycle:

Kevin Keatts
Thomas Crean
Travis Ford
Seth Greenberg

Ford has already accepted the Little Rock job. I would not be surprised if one more from this list is a D1 head coach next season.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

A fun-anecdote about the search. Little Rock athletic administration and the contracted search firm were impressed with Ford’s 3-0 record against former Big East coach Kim English.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

I expect Travis Ford to be announced soon as the head coach of Little Rock. Note: Little Rock moves to the UAC next year.

@CurryHicksSage Tennessee Tech moving from OVC to SoCon

@CurryHicksSage Boston Market catered Horizon League Media Day this year.

@ckovach22 Cignetti would be a fantastic influence. I can confirm Providence has multiple consultants assisting on the search, including former PC SID / Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese and PGA golfer Brad Faxon, a Providence fan who grew up playing at Rhode Island Country Club.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

A few early names I’m hearing being targeted by Providence are Bryan Hodgson, Travis Ford, Kevin Keatts, Takayo Siddle, and Joe Gallo.

Honored to get to sit on press row for the Arch Baron Cup tonight at Chaifetz Arena between Saint Louis and Dayton.

Greetings from Honolulu. I have received a credential for tonight’s Big West tilt between Hawaii and Cal State Northridge. Excited to watch CSUN guard Larry Hughes II, who is averaging 18.5 ppg and shooting 40.6% from 3.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

I have received a credential for today’s game at noon between South Carolina State (0-12) and Brewton Parker (9-3, NAIA).

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

@BBQ4REAL He’d stabilize things instantly.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

@TonyPatelis UMass and Loyola (and likely others) will be in a bidding war for his services.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

The school is currently under contract with Coca-Cola.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

University of Arkansas athletics is in exploratory negotiations on a pouring rights deal with Keurig Dr Pepper. I’m told the primary driver behind a potential move is AD Hunter Yurachek’s interest in offering RC Cola as the primary soft drink at all university athletic events.

[Bruce Davis @BruceinNJ]

Loyola (IL) will be moving on from Drew Valentine effective at the end of the 25-26 season. The school is actively pursuing candidates and I’m told their preference is former Oklahoma State and Saint Louis head coach Travis Ford. Ford is currently working as an analyst for ESPN+.
