Glad to see it for both Frank and Brandon.

So now he has 3 transfers who are used to playing in his system down here.

I am going to follow UMass MBB just like I follow GSU football this year.

Frank also hired former UMass HC Derek Kellogg as an assistant in August.

Kellogg returns to Massachusetts, where he was the head coach for nine years from 2008-17 and was an all-Atlantic 10 selection as a player for the Minutemen.

Kellogg played for John Calipari during his glory years as HC up there back in the day.

"Adding a coach that knows and loves UMass is a huge victory for our men's basketball program," said director of athletics Ryan Bamford. "Derek Kellogg cares deeply about the University of Massachusetts and is truly invested in rebuilding our proud program. This is a tremendous hire by Coach Martin. It is great to have Derek, Nicole and Max back in maroon and white."

Frank is getting stuff done up there.

That's very unusual. You don't normally see a fired HC return to that school as an assistant.
