You did say rumor so with him, anything is even slightly possible.

Good coach, but in the end, Brent knows that he can only stay in Dodge for so long and he has to move on to keep the Buzz-brand alive.
Honestly I understood his personnel approach of focusing on athletic wing talent when he was at VT - and does bring him fairly consistent success - but I'm not sure that's the approach that's ever gonna get him to a final four.

Generally appears most like/OK with him, a good fit....Not many intense feelings either way: i.e. not begging to keep him at all costs -nor- pushing him out the door.....kind of a "whatever" feeling on first few pages

Whereas UMd being in the B1G still has the financial resources (as well as recruiting access), yet is arguably more passionate about BB than FB. Best of both worlds for Brent.

has good value on these streets. Brent leaving for another school should never be a surprise.

I thought he had one foot out the door. Pressure was ramping up at Texas AM to get into the sweet 16 or final four.
i figured he was going to cut and run very soon

(just under $5mil/year)
Villanova is allegedly ready to make Willard a top 10 highest paid coach and Maryland -allegedly- has offered to match that for Willard.
So assuming Maryland has that money, and for Buzz if this is about simply upping his salary..that would be such a Buzz thing to do.

The real clue to how true that would be is if A&M has used up all their visits already? ;)
