Pete Gillen. Tim Welsh. Now Keno Davis.
Keno Davis will be named Head Basketball Coach at Providence College today, ending the Friars' grinding search for Welsh's replacement.
The search began with a denial from George Mason's Jim Larranaga.
Then the movement shifted to Massachusetts' Travis Ford, who rejected PC's overtures as well.
And after whiffing on the hottest of all coaching properties, Davidson's Bob McKillop, Friar fans began to push the panic button.
False alarm I guess.
It didn't take long for Davis to take this job: He met with Providence officials on Tuesday and was hired later in the afternoon.
In Davis, Providence is getting the 2007-2008 National Coach of the Year as well as a young go-getter who will inherit a team full of veterans.
This is a good hire for Providence. Davis may not have been the first choice to succeed Welsh, but if he could get Drake into the NCAA Tournament (for the first time since 1971), he should be able to turn the Friars' program around.
We'll see if his reputation as a relentless recruiter pays dividends for Providence, who will have a major rebuilding job ahead after this year.

Based on recruiting and returning players from this season ... Who are your Top 10 teams for next season? If you have the chance to do a little bit of research, how does San Jose St. look next season?
