According to her Twitter feed, Haley's final 5 are N.D., UConn, South Carolina, Oregon and Stanford.

Drats!

That list shows just how dramatic an impact Kelly Graves has had at Oregon ... and by extension, the difference an elite coach can make in a program. Four of the schools have won national championships and three have been consistent Final Four contenders all this century -- and South Carolina is on the same path. Oregon? Not yet ... but add Haley Jones to that mix and watch out.

Kelly Graves coached at St. Mary's and then Gonzaga before going to *****gon.

That is exactly why when it came to hiring MBB coach, we should have hired St. Mary's or Nevada's coach rather than the guy Mike Williams hired as MBB "coach".

It is not too late to correct Mike Williams' huge mistake in hiring the wrong MBB Coach.

Go Bears!

No. Kelly Graves coached at Gonzaga before he left for Oregon. He was head coach at St. Mary's from 1997-2000. Look it up. And please take your MBB rant to the appropriate board. Thank you.

And he is trying to recruit a player, Haley Van Lith out of Washington state and Kennedy Brown out of Kansas?

Van Lith is scary good.

SFCALBear72, you are right about Kelly Graves. Thank you for correcting me. I fixed my post. As for MBB, you are also right and I will keep that in mind in the future.

Go Bears!
