OT: Utah Hires Utah State's Craig Smith

[Hey Adrien!]

Arguably the best hire of the offseason so far.

All Craig Smith has done is win. Career .659 record between four years at South Dakota and three years at Utah State.

.755 winning % in just three years in the MWC? Nothing short of impressive, especially this season without Sam Merrill.

Over the past three years, he's won the same # of NCAA Tourney games as Dan Hurley and Shaka ;-)

j/k, good hire.

Guy was amazing player at BC back around Ryan Sidney/Troy Bell days.

Man, he's changed a lot since his playing days. Lost some weight. 😀

He was a real dominant player who I always hated to see play against us. He averaged 18 pts a game for four years and 8.6 boards. He was a rough customer and unmovable in the paint. 6-7 and 250 lbs.

He was also the mastermind behind Tim Miles making the NCAA Tournament at Nebraska the one year he did. Guy can flat out coach.
