I was expecting him to go to a high major this year after what he did at Loyola Chicago this year. Good for him.

Good potential rivalry between him and Beard at Texas.

You know, if you aren't landing the UNC gig, this is a damn good one. No title, but a solid history (as many Final Fours as us), a couple of pros kids care about—particularly Young—and if you succeed there you can either hang and rake in the cash or be next in line for the jobs that are going to open (or to take the place of the guy who takes the place of the guy).

Oklahoma is perfect for him

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Wow, good for Moser, he's earned it.

Kruger was a class act and I like the fact that Oklahoma is following him up with another class act.

second best hire so far after beard to texas. wonder if depaul even tried reaching out.

Loyola offered Moser a 10-year contract at $2.2 million per year so OU must have topped that. they gave him 6 years but maybe 2.5 per year? 3?

I suspect Hubert Davis.

I suspect Hubert Davis.

Yup, him or someone else in the family. I and several others earlier said Wes Miller of UNCG. I heavily doubt it’s someone like Stackhouse. Not a good/long enough track record.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Loyola-Chicago promoted Drew Valentine as their new head coach. Valentine is the older brother of Denzel Valentine.

Drew played at Oakland and started his coaching career at Oakland immediately after. Graduated in '13, so he's barely 30!
