A few tidbits before I head to this Hall of Fame deal:
- Source told FOXSports.com that St. Benedict's coach Dan Hurley has accepted the Wagner job.
- Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins, the coach-in-waiting when Jim Boeheim retires, withdrew from the Charlotte opening. The candidates include Pat Kelsey (Xavier), Russell Springmann (Texas), Joe Dooley (Kansas) and Alan Major (Ohio State).
- Iona has targeted television analyst Fran Fraschilla, who has withdrawn from the opening. The Gaels are looking at Louisville assistant Steve Masiello, ex-St. John's head coach Norm Roberts and Florida assistant Richard Pitino.
- St. John's coach Steve Lavin's first hire on his staff will be that of Drexel's Tony Chiles.

I'm at a loss why Charlotte doesn't pursue Mike Rice of Robert Morris. Apparently Tulane is interviewing him for their open position.
