There have been rumors swirling around former Missouri assistant coach Rob Fulford.

I got to know him when NC State recruited Beckley (W.Va.) Mountain State High center Deniz Kilicli in the class of 2009, who ended up going to West Virginia. Fulford then created powerful Huntington (W.Va.) Prep and shares a lot of mutual friends of NC State coach Kevin Keatts, who have been pushing his candidacy. He coached Andrew Wiggins at Huntington Prep, and Wiggins sponsors Team Loaded VA and Team Loaded NC.

Fulford was brought in at Missouri under head coach Kim Anderson, and that situation deteriorated fast. The new staff at Missouri offered him the chance to be director of operations there, but he doesn't want to do that. With his background, he has a vast rolodex.

Fulford was the one who got NC State freshman center Ted Kapita to transfer to Huntington (W.Va.), but he got hired at Missouri before he could coach him. Kapita ended up getting hurt that year, so he wouldn't have had the chance.
