Jeff Thomas of MassLive.com on the committee.

Matty V. reports that John McCutcheon met with Neal Brown of Texas Tech.  Brown's Red Raiders bio here.

Not that my opinion matters much, but I think Brown would be an excellent hire for UMass. He's a hot young coach and he actually is familiar with UMass' situation and likes the place.
