In Friday’s paper, we took a look at some possible candidates to join Billy Donovan’s soon to be compiled coaching staff. You can read that by clicking here.

Among those listed was Anthony Grant, a long-time assistant and friend of Donovan’s. Late Thursday night, a report from The Gainesville Sun said Grant would “definitely” follow Donovan to Oklahoma City.

Donovan and Grant first linked up back in 1994. Donovan, then 28, had just been named the Marshall head coach. Grant, then 27, joined his staff.

After two years at Marshall, Donovan was hired by Florida in 1996. Grant followed him there. In 2002, Grant was elevated to associate head coach with the Gators.
