New Assistant
I expect this to be announced as early as today, but certainly within the next few days. I would be today will be TRob's day though.Tomorrow is likely bet though and I would bet Norm Roberts will be named to the staff

I like the Norm pick because you know him and Self can work together well. Bringing in others could turn out to not blend. Plus Norm knows Self's system and is considered to be a good recruiter. I would definitely be happy with that hire.

I think a staff of Dooley, Townsend, and Roberts is solid. If Dooley or Townsend leaves for another job then I would look at Howard but I like the staff we have. They have accomplished a lot as members of KU and as members of Self's staff.

I was just about 100% sure that BOTH Danny Manning and Barry Hinson took head coaching jobs. Don't we have one more vacancy to fill?

That Director of Basketball Operations position has Kurtis Townsend's name written ALL over it!
I'd be trying to pimp Townsend on taking that position like "Kurtis, you've been working really hard these past few years on the recruiting trail, you don't really want to recruit anymore, do you? I mean, it's hard work, I think you should be on easy street sitting in the back office in some A/C booking hotel rooms and surfing ESPN.com! Whaddayasay ol' buddy?"
LOL!

Back to being a recruiting powerhouse. I know he didn't so it at St. Johns, but this is Kansas and his reputation speaks for itself here

Walker has said that it ultimately will come down to the team and not the coaches. I don't think Roberts to KU means much to Walker. I think he's got a woody for Kentucky, and that about it.
