Davis is a good coach, but Ole Miss is a very tough job. I don’t think he can change that brand enough to make a huge difference.
Normally I might have agreed, but the quality of basketball across the SEC has exploded. Tennessee is good. Auburn is good. Bama is good. Arkansas is good. Missouri is trending up as is LSU. South Carolina was very good two years ago. This is a league that used to get 3 bids, two of which were Kentucky and Florida. It's probably second only to the ACC right now.
There is no reason he can't win in Oxford when he was able to win nearby in Tennessee at a nothing school. Ole Miss is what, 40 minutes from Memphis? I think Ole Miss did very well here, grabbing him before Georgia realized they should have targeted him. If UGA doesn't get Matta, I think they might turn to Earl Grant at C of C or to Konkol.
