First I'd heard of this I'd always heard Jennings was doing really well since going to Oak Hill.

Either way, the byproduct is this: A 73-year-old man (Olson) whose health has been questioned for years is coming off a leave of absence and trying to lead a program that is expected to lose its top two players (Jerryd Bayless and Chase Budinger) from a squad that just finished seventh in the Pac-10.
That's a tall order, and that Olson will likely do it without a single returning assistant -- while going through a publicly nasty divorce -- should make it even taller, and if McDonald's All-American Brandon Jennings doesn't qualify (he still has some serious work to do, I'm told) then Wildcat basketball could be headed toward its worst season in many decades.
