C.D. Smith and Ed Blakeslee are good MSU men. Doug Rouse and Aubrey Patterson are pretty strong as well, with them having a USM and UM background. Bill Kibler is also a very good administrator, as are others on the list.

Rumor is that it is Watson, Keenum, and three others, with two of those three being women.
