Five new college basketball coaches hot on recruiting trail

BILLY KENNEDY, TEXAS A&M
Previous stop: Promoted from assistant to head coach at Texas A&M
2012 verbal commitments: No. 52 J-Mychal Reese (6-1, 170, PG), No. 54 Alex Caruso (6-4, 180, SG)
Breakdown: Taking over for Turgeon, Kennedy hasn't gone far to land a pair of quality guards. Reese averaged more than 28 points per game as a junior at Bryan (less than 10 miles from Texas A&M's campus). Caruso was one of the summer's breakout stars and hails from A&M Consolidated – less than five miles from Aggieland. Coincidentally (wink), Reese's father, John, was hired as an assistant last month. Kennedy also landed a surprise commitment from Chicago junior Kendrick Nunn, a guard from state and national powerhouse Simeon.
