Figure we can start a thread specifically for this.
Who are the candidates?
With any coaching change, you also expect to see a lot of player change.
Do any players leave because of Coach leaving? Do any players leave because of the new coach brought in? Is our recruit changed by this?
A ton of wonder.

Look how great Chris Collins is doing at Northwestern, It would be awesome getting someone similar.

Dee Brown is so intriguing to me. He is still a big name and would bring attention to the program immediately. I'm not sure how well current local players know him but for sure the coaches do. He is a local basketball legend. And excitement hasn't been around the program in a long time.
He has such limited experience as a Head Coach but seems to be doing well with it.

The Mullins idea is interesting but scary to me. He recruited stars and won at SIU. Yeah maybe not as much winning as SIU fans want, but he consistently put up winning seasons. What if he came to UIC and sucked? Wouldn’t that be proof that UIC is an impossible job? I’m not sure I want to know that.
Remember his brother Brendan was an assistant under McClain at UIC. Don’t remember who he recruited, but those McClain teams had a ton of talent….the coaching just sucked.

My choice right now is still Brock Erickson. I wouldn't have a problem with Dee Brown either. They both have proven themselves as HEAD coaches. I'm fed up with going the assistant coach route.

UICJohnPlayers will leave because of better opportunities,Better training, etc. It doesn't have to do with Yak leaving or staying. Just wasn't a good fit for alot of players. Yak was selfish and trying to dictate the Players success. I heard he was disrespectful to alot of players and was hindering their growth. Alot of stuff is coming out now.

The two players that announced plans today, I am guessing were planning on doing so regardless of the news earlier in the day. Very interesting comments there. I have no insider information of any kind so I won't hear anything. However, I think that many on this board can think of a player or two that we (granted, as outsiders) thought weren't being given a fair shake.

I wouldn’t say that just yet. Every player is different. Well I do think that the coaching staff plays a big role in a player. It is always everything. For example, the player that we lost out on the committee Paul came and said he was still planning on attending there because of the school that drew him and not just the coaching staff.
Hopefully that this young man will also think that the opportunity to play in the city close to home is something he still wants to do.

I know Carlos Harris had posted a “hometown hero” tweet when he committed. He may just want to play in the city, in which case options are limited. I’m sure any new coach will consider him for sure. Also, MoSt fans like this guy for their opening and this is the type of resume we should be taking a hard look at. bearcatsports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/ben-mccollum/1880
