There has been some STRONG interest in the Nebraska job from a lot of top
candidates.  Here are some names that have expressed interest in us, in my
favorite order.

1] Can't say - Sorry, I promised the person that told me I'd keep it quiet.
But there's someone who's ahead of all of them who has expressed interest,
but I wanted you to know there was someone in this spot :)

2] Chad Holbrook, asst @ #1 SC Gamecocks <--- One of my favorites.  He's an
INCREDIBLE recruiter.  Named #10 recruiter in all of college sports by ESPN.
And he's probably as good of a hitting coach as he is recruiter.  He may be
#1 on Tennessee's list tho too and tough to pull out of the SEC.

3] Todd Butler, asst @ Arkansas

4] Will Bolt


Names brought up by others, not sure of interest, in my fav order:

1] Rob Childress (would be behind Chad Holbrook if I knew he was interested)

2] Rob Walton, pitching coach Oral Roberts <--- Doubt his interest, but he
would be a steal

3] Tim Tadlock, asst @ OU <--- Took a JUCO team to 2 national titles, great
recruiter and has coached OU hitters (consistently top 10 nationally hitting
team)

4] Ty Harrington, head coach Texas State <--- Took Texas State to back to
back regionals, not easy to do.
