I think it actually makes a lot of sense and doesn't surprise me at all that they targeted and probably prioritized an AA coach considering the backlash they received after Shay's exit. They are trying to stop the bleeding and think the optics of this will help.
Pinkins was an assistant and recruiting coordinator here under Donnie Tyndall. Barnes didn't retain him, then, perhaps choosing to stick with familiarity and also distancing the program from all things related to Tyndall. Interesting name, for sure. He's a current Florida assistant. Also coached under Beard at Texas Texh for a few seasons.-Rob Lewis
Also still saying Hayes is still a possibility.
