Did some asking around about what a potential staff would look like under Dusty May and got a clearer picture of a few names that have been floated around lately.
Here's what we've been hearing.
- The special assistant role that we discussed yesterday is 'probably not' going to be for John Beilein. There's likely a role there but it remains undefined as of today.
- One name that we hear that May is considering for an assistant role is Jacksonville University head coach Jordan Mincy. Mincy is a rising star in the coaching sphere and been listed on Top 40 under 40 coaches lists on both ESPN and The Athletic.

- Another name that has been floated around and has been recommended by Beilein is Darris Nichols, Radford head coach. Nichols played under Beilein at West Virginia and was someone that May mentioned he was a fan of during his introductory press conference.
- While Nichols would be an excellent fit, for the sake of transparency, he was arrested for a DUI last year and was sentenced to probation. With the recent resignation of Greg Scruggs due to a DWI, it muddies the waters a bit.

That's what I have for now, more when I can get it.
