And asked when it would be determined if Diallo is eligible or not, Self said: “I thought everything would be done by today.

Mizzou, Tennessee look silly for passing on MSU's Ben Howland - CBSSports.com
This was April 2014. The job at Tennessee was open. Same story at Missouri. And the California native with three Final Fours on his resume would've taken either job if offered. He tried to get involved at both places. But for reasons I'll never understand even if I live to be a million years old, Tennessee and Missouri each passed. And, at this point, that looks like the best thing to ever happen to Mississippi State.
