Shama sham.
Shama gets info from unnamed former college coach who does not report his source. This could be coming from some old-timer that heard some rumors for all we know.
But the purpose of my post is to at least partly explain why I don't think Coyle or President Kaler would consider Musselman to fit the U's "culture". I dived into the Nevada athletics website for more info and here is a summary of what I noted.
Musselman played a 8 man rotation this year. All eight played at least 31 of the 34 games played and averaged at least 10 minutes per game. Among these eight players, the five starters were all 5th year seniors and all transferred in to Nevada. One was a graduate transfer and the other 4 were at Nevada for 2-3 years including redshirt seasons. Among the 3 rotational subs there was one more 5th years senior that had transferred in, a 4th year junior transfer, & a true freshman post player that was a 5 star recruit. In short, his team was loaded with a extraordinary number of transfers and the 6 top players are now leaving.
Here's how this year's roster looks class-wise: 8 seniors, 4 juniors, 0 sophomores, & 3 freshmen. Last year's roster lists 3 freshman and none are on this year's roster (which is why this year's sophomore class is empty.
With his 6 top players leaving, he signed one player for the 2019 class during the November signing period. The player is a juco transfer and appears to be a good player but who really knows about juco. The player did play his freshman season with the Akron Zips so I think there is some reason to doubt how good he really is.
The bottom line I think Musselman's roster was built with the idea of getting him a job promotion and leaving the next guy to figure it out with Nevada. I don't think any of this would work at Minnesota.
For those who would like to see for themselves, here are some links.
