I sort of felt this was coming. Was the interview process window dressing? How much emphasis did Bennett have on the selection? Heard he was interviewing two finalists. Wish he would stay out of athletics. But then maybe it is his place to do so.

I would have liked to have had Adams. I know if he was successful we would not be able to keep him. Would have been nice to have access to recruits TT could not sign.

Ladner probably not a terrible selection but not sure if he is a next level guy. How is his recruiting?

From what I read, it was the safe hire. I don't see him as getting USM back to the level that Eustacy was able. If he can win the the conference tournament, that will change my mind.

Kyle Roane also moving to Southern Miss with Ladner.

Just another "Good ol' boy hire" in my opinion.

I'm not sold. I hope he does well, but, I'm not expecting much.
