Although I am disappointed that he bolted, I can't question it. More money = easier living.

That's not entirely a fair comparison. Guys like Smart and Stevens reportedly make well over a million a year. Enfield makes around 100K and would make at the very minimum 10 times as much by taking the offer with USC.
Edit: Enfield made 157K and will be making well over a million with the USC deal. How much do you exactly expect Enfield's salary to increase if he stayed at FGCU. Even with the extra attention paid to them, this is a school that was worried about transportation costs because of the NCAA tournament. You really can't blame the guy.

They made the Sweet 16. Let's slow down on the "potential dynasty" stuff. Larranaga was at George Mason 5 years after their Final 4 and not much happened.

Also, VCU had some recent success before Shaka. FGCU has only been a school for 22 years.

Between Enfield's lady and Kiffin's, think having a hot wife is a job requirement at SC?

Re: 2012/13 Observation Deck
So apparently they had the dunk contest for the McDonald's All-American game tonight, and Wiggins put on a show.

I guess it's an actual video on a continuous loop, instead of a gif, so I can't imbed it.

Wiggins looks...not 6'7 in that. Could just be me I guess. Oh well, Purdue'll still take him I guess.

My main man Gene Keady's going to the NCAA HOF . And some other dudes that wish they had a glorious head of hair like Keady.

Re: 2012/13 Observation Deck
fwiw, Wiggins measured at 6-7 in shoes and a 6-11 wingspan.
And at some national team combine, he outjumped the 44 inch max measuring tape.
Isn't Tom Mcmillen the guy who looked like he was 80 years old while he was still in the NBA?
Anyone see the Rice video?

Coach or not, if someone throws a ball at my head, I'll beat his ass.

Honestly surprised that dude hasn't gotten his ass beat by a player. The only thing that saves a coach in that scenario is kids respecting an authority figure but he should have lost that respect from day 1.
