"I'm looking for a coach that will push me to get better, not that Coach P wouldn't, and where I can come in and impact," he said.
Lyle has spoken with Indiana's Tom Crean and Connecticut's Kevin Ollie since announcing his decommitment. Memphis, Arizona, Baylor and Kansas have also expressed interest.
Good News for Husky fans!

I really, really, REALLY want Lyle for this team. I don't see KU being a major player, even if he says that right now; their current roster is actually loaded with possible point guards. Junior Naadir Tharpe will probably start this year, and he's gonna be a senior next year. They also have top 100 underclassmen in Andrew White and Conner Frankemp. Not exactly the playing time Lyle says he is looking for.

Tharpe isn't that good. Lyle would definitely start over him.

even if Lyle is better, which I think he might be also, it would be tough to deny a senior Tharpe the starting role, especially if he did it as a junior. Also, I really like Frankemp. We recruited him briefly if memory serves.

EDIT: we didn't recruit Frankemp. I was thinking of KU wing Brannen Greene, who we did offer before he committed there.

I see a 0% UConn gets Lyle...him and Mac Irvin Fire big man Cliff Alexander announced that they will play college basketball together and UConn is not actively recruiting Cliff

No offense but we've heard that before with other recruits and it rarely happens the way they talk about it.

I think UCONN chances are slim but he knows Ollie's strength is point guards.
