Disagree about Appleby. I guess we will find out. Del Rio has basically followed Mac/Nuss almost anywhere he has gone. That is not a coincidence.. nor is it that they both recruited him to two diff schools now.
Agree about Cronkrite.. but keep your eye on Mark Thompson giving both of them a run for their money. Also.. put the brakes on Piniero... Hardin hasnt lost the job yet. Eddy has to actually kick in a game still. mostly agree with everything else.
