SMU is targeting Andy Enfield for the school's basketball job, sources told ESPN.
Enfield has been the focus of the search for days, but sources indicated that a deal isn't expected to be finalized imminently. Sources indicated that USC's search is solely focused on Enfield at this point, as the school isn't engaged with other candidates right now. It could take days to resolve and finalize the hire.
SMU initially reached out to Enfield over the weekend, as the school has been looking to make a splashy hire in the wake of firing Rob Lanier after just two seasons. Lanier went 20-13 this season, but SMU's brass wanted someone who could deliver an immediate competitive team in the ACC.for 11 seasons, going 261-175 with five NCAA tournament appearances.
SMU will enter the ACC next season, a move that's based in part on the school's financial prowess. It's location in the talent-rich Dallas market, combined with the new league affiliation, hints at the job's potential. The expected opening at USC will mark the first marquee hire for first-year athletic director Jennifer Cohen, who took over in August. She'll be recruiting candidates to a Big Ten job, as USC enters that league for the 2024-25 school year.
