Martin to California

I admit I did not see this coming:

California has hired Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin to replace Mike Montgomery, sources told ESPN.

Martin has spent the past three seasons in Knoxville and led the Vols to the NCAA tournament this season. He was previously the coach at Missouri State.

We will wait and see who they hire to replace him, and what it does to a pretty solid incoming recruiting class, but Martin has proven to be a very good coach, and this is the kind of thing that can help Georgia shift the power in (what used to be) the East if they can take advantage.
