I knew it was unrealistic, but i was really hoping Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhardt would grow a pair and give him a serious look. High majors don’t wanna hire a guy with no D1 experience though and i guess i get it. But i’m not in love with Mark Pope. That said i could see McCollum maybe trying to stay close to home his entire career. He turned down a bunch of offers supposedly waiting on a D1 job near Iowa. Had the Missouri State job, then turned that down when the Drake job opened up which is in his back yard. Wondering if now he’ll try to hold out for Iowa if he does well at Drake?
