  • I have heard that a current head coach in the Horizon League has interviewed for the Georgia State job late last week. More on this search soon…

  • I have heard that Southern Miss video coordinator Connor Wheeler is headed to Southern Illinois where he will join new head coach Byran Mullins in an administrative role. Wheeler has also served as a GA at Mizzou.
