Here is the latest on some news I found. Looks like they are trying to steal Conroy away from Citadel (I would be suprised seeing Conroy leave his alma mater, but App does have more money to throw his way).

Missouri assistant Melvin Watkins and Wake Forest assistant Pat Kelsey are the other two coaches they are looking at.

It is interesting to see how this all ends up, I really feel like they are putting themselves behind the 8ball, but they will be returning a lot of players and a good team. So it will be interesting.

Yet with all that here comes Buzz back into the picture: really App, really.

And now he accepts - looks like Buzz will be back at App, per "breaking news from WS Journal" (gotta love that hiring a coach is breaking news for a newspaper, huh?)

I like the fact that the WS paper scooped all the Charlotte and other papers in the area.

Well congrats to App for getting a coach, I am very interested to see what he does there. He seems to excel with other peoples recruits and then jumps ship as soon as he can get something better.

I'll give it 6 years to implode. But, in the meanwhile, all the best to Buzz and Boone Basketball.

Heard an interview with Buzz on the radio today. Interviewer asked why he went to App - he really didn't give an answer. He did say his family was going to stay in South Charlotte and he was going to commute - its 116 miles from his home to the Holmes center, according to Buzz. Wonder if that factored into the decision about not coming here.
