It is the sentiment here in Champaign that its either Shaka Smart or Brad Stevens. Another name I've heard thrown around is Reggie Theus. He has a good relationship with Sonny Parker, who happens to be the father of Jabari Parker, the #1 Junior in the nation. Parkers said if Weber was fired his son would look elsewhere. That might not be the case if Theus is hired.
