Well, we know one rising ESPN star who's not interested in filling Skip Bayless' chair across from Stephen A. Smith on "First Take."
Namely, Jemele Hill, co-host of ESPN2's "His and Hers" with Michael Smith.
Sporting News broke the story a month ago that Fox Sports boss Jamie Horowitz was going to recruit Bayless to join ex-ESPNers Colin Cowherd and Jason Whitlock on his ratings-challenged FS1 network.

Horowitz told me that news/highlight shows like ESPN's flagship "SportsCenter" were dinosaurs, losing 30 percent of their audience in recent years.
