Mulling it Over

Reports are still swirling around spectulating whether or not Coach Larranaga will be heading back to his alma mater to coach the Friars. Michael Litos of the CAA hoops blog shares a different opinion than what I have recently posted thinking the move to the Big East isn't such a crazy idea for the old ball coach. The lure of ending his successful career back at Providence in about 5 years or so might be too great to turn down. But does Coach L really want to take on the challenge of restoring the Friars to the level they were at when he graced the court in the early 70's? Definitely something that would take time to build up. Kind of like the time it has taken for him to build up the Patriots to become the CAA power that they are today. Providence may be a Big East school but you can't tell me going there at this point for a potential recruit has really all the much more appeal than coming to George Mason. The Patriots have been in the spotlight more and more each season and TV appearances on ESPN are expected now. But that's just me.
