Names mentioned (floated?) as replacements for Kerry Rupp

Here are some names floating around per this Under The Hoop article:

Instant names here are Billy Kennedy (Louisiana guy), Butch Pierre (former LSU asst.), Johnny Jones (former LSU asst.), and Donnie Tyndall (former LSU asst.)

We read somewhere else that Kennedy was in at Wyoming but couldn't reach agreement on getting four JUCO transfers accepted plus another matter we just can't recall right now.
