Kevin Willard of Seton Hall withdraws as Virginia Tech head coaching candidate

Will Mick Cronin stay with the Cincinnati Bearcats, leave for the UCLA job for which he's reported to be a finalist or consider the Virginia Tech job for which he's believed to be a potential candidate.

That remains to be seen, but Virginia Tech's outlook may have changed Saturday morning with Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard - Cronin's good friend - withdrawing from consideration for the Hokies' job, per reports.

CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein reported earlier this week that Willard was expected to be a primary target to replace Buzz Williams in Blacksburg.
