McCollum

Not sure he was ever a serious candidate. I know many love him but I think his lack of D1 experience did him in. Sounds like dolson wanted someone who has already navigated the portal. Devries had a top 6 portal class last year and way more D1 experience. It might end up being a big mistake on mccullum but im guessing that's dolsons thinking. Also hopefully this works since we passed on Dusty last year by not firing woodson.

We'll probably never know whether McCollum turned us down or we had some initial interest but moved on, or never pursued him, unless he decides to say something about it (which he's probably smart enough not to do).

I wouldn’t doubt if Dolson spoke to many coaches, including McCollum. I also think McCollum would be a good fit and could nail it. There is just a little more risk there IMO. His numbers have been gaudy, but that’s not the whole picture. Like we found out with May, timing is a big factor, and CDD seems like a good fit all around.

He gets two years from me to earn any more.

I give him two years given the nil and new landscape. We will again likely have the top nil in the conference
