Thoughts on Martin:
Would be estactic if it was the K-State version. He had them rolling for a program that had largely been dormant for awhile. Now, it awoke with the Huggins hire, but Martin averaged over 24 wins in his 5 seasons, had some nice tourney teams, and some real nice players.
However, I won't pretend to know why his SC teams aren't good outside of the one F4 run (which they were a 7 seed and got ridiculously hot at the right time).
A part of me thinks he could do a lot of good here. He's intense, has a background with inner city young men and mentorship, and is demanding of his guys. However, another part of me flashes major concern.
In reality though, I'm not 100% in on any of the names I've heard and I think whoever it will be comes with some fan hesitation (basing this solely off names I've heard).
He's not at the bottom of my list. I have heard worse/more questionable names thus far.
