Anybody know if Jamal Branch will stick with A&M or will ask for a release? Don't think very highly of the hire but A&M will have a good squad next year. Hopefully he can get things together quickly. Branch would help him out a great deal.

Kennedy has had a few good seasons and a bunch of average ones.  His last 2 seasons at Murrary St. were pretty good.  A&M has built a successful program over the last decade, hopefully he is the right guy to keep it going.

Branch has stated that he is staying committed to A&M. Bill Byrne has made really good hires (Sherman, Blair, Turgeon, Childress, Henry) time will tell on this one, but his track record so far is good. I don't know if ya'll have noticed but A&M's overall athletic program is one of the best in the Nation, so I guess I will trust Bryne on this hire.
