ValleyTalk:
Per sources, interested and perhaps early favorites, but yet to apply as they are still playing:
Rick McFadden, Akron Asst - Recruiting Coordinator
Jarrod Calhoun, Fairmont State Head Coach
Per WFMJ, the following have formally applied:
LaShun McDaniel, can't find much on this candidate

David Smith, Methodist University Head Coach
Daniel Sancomb, Wheeling Jesuit Head Coach
Dylan Howard, Morehead State Associate Head Coach
David Buchanan, Drake Director of Basketball Operations

Better hope applications continue to arrive.... Dane Fischer from Bucknell would be my pick out of this list....

One Horizon League fan that doesn't like YSU in the league, PantherU, is tweeting up a storm in strong support of Dave Buchanan. Has some great things to say of him.
Still think Calhoun and McFadden are favorites and will formally apply once their seasons conclude.
IAA Fan:
My .02 worth...
LaShun McDaniel: Has lots of experience but has not paid his dues in the collegiate ranks. The guy from Westminster at least has 6-years of D-III to go with his European stints. Although McDaniel does have ABA experience.
Ragland: No direction. Too many stops with no cear direction up.
Smith: Did he not just resign from YSU?
Sancomb: Never been anywhere else, but you have to respect what he has done there at Wheeling. Worry about DI vision and recruiting.
Dylan Howard: Don't know enough about him. Love the program though.
David Buchanan: Is he far enough removed from the HS game? Everything is positive about him. Good program, and two good teams in WI. Could really help recruiting.
Scott Sorenson: Like Buchanan, seems to be doing a lot recently but is he ready?
Michael Greant: If it is Grant, losing to Howard they is what cost him his job.However at 51, I expect more.
Mike Mahon: There used to be a big time player over in Cinci...could be him, not sure.
Dane Fischer: I think they mean Bucknell. He is as ready as he is ever going to be. I do not know anything about his game.
PantherU:
Dave Buchanan is most definitely not the DOBO at Drake, he was a full assistant coach. Beat us in recruiting a couple times.
There's a reason I'm pitching him. I think this conference is by and large stuck with each other, and the only way this conference gets good enough for multiple bids is if the bottom programs get better.
Buchanan also was a head coach in D-III for 7 years. He's the best of both worlds - experienced as HC and experienced as AC. Lower division AND mid-major assistant. Strong X's and O's coach AND strong recruiter.
He picks the right assistant job at a high-major or mid-major this offseason, YSU won't get a shot at him again.
