I like Moser a lot. But one problem is will he get guys who stay for 4 year at Oklahoma. Do ADs realize the 1 and done types arent what he's looking for?

There were reports that Ed Conroy was the leader for the job.

I feel bad for Ben. The whole roster is transferring out. It’s gonna be damned hard to put together a Big 10 quality team for the upcoming season.

Oh don't feel bad for him Bob.....this was certainly not a quality Big 10 team this year so losing a bunch of players from a not very good team will not make Ben lose any sleep, in fact he might privately be glad this is happening so that he can load up the roster with his picks!

Awesome to see Thorson is on the staff.

Looks like McNeilly has some good experience. He's been with Buzz Williams the past 11 seasons at Marquette, Virginia Tech, and Texas A&M. Looks like he has a lot of recruiting connections in Canada.

Kemp was an assistant under Tim Miles at NDSU at one point. Might have been a big reason Luke Loewe committed.

Jaime McNeilly's nephew, Cashius McNeilly, is on the Texas A&M roster. He redshirted last year due to a foot injury, but was a pretty highly rated recruit. Possible transfer?

So is Thorson the interim coach after Johnson gets fired?

Too soon?

As long as he's cheap! Oh and whenever Big Bens buyout is only a #5 at McDonald's.
