Would love Shanks to come on board. Would have loved JR Blount, but it looks like he just got promoted at Iowa State.

Great minds think alike. I also would love to see Carson Shanks on the coaching staff. He seems like such a nice and positive guy from his Twitter account.

Matt Gordon just followed Oklahoma's Athletic Director and a couple other OU types on Twitter.

Looks like he will join Porter at Oklahoma in some capacity. Good luck to Matt.

I would’ve been surprised if he didn’t. Best of luck to him.

kind of a 6 degrees of separation thing. x LU coach Emanuel Dildy has left Northwestern to join PM at ou

I like the idea of Greg Lansing as first assistant coach and while I was thinking about that I also thought about Barry Hinson as someone with coaching smarts, experience and contacts. I think Barry would be a long shot but then again, I never expected Phil Martelli to be an assistant at Michigan either.

I would love to see Lansing as our head assistant. I assume the dispute between him and Indiana state was over money. He wasn't being paid very much from what I can find. I'm sure we can pay him more with the money we're saving from Porter's salary.

We'd probably have to offer Lansing over $250k to get him on board as an "associate head coach." But aside from the discussion on this board, I don't think Loyola has him on the radar and vice versa.

Probably not. I just thought it would be funny.

Probably looking into it too much, but Clayton Custer has retweeted a few tweets from official OU accounts. Has been silent on Coach Drew's hiring (and not sure I saw him at the press conference). Wonder if he is following Moser to Norman.

On a separate note, I think I need to unfollow Porter and/or block official OU accounts. Getting pretty annoying. He retweeted a OU basketball post yesterday and said "Home." Then today, some video of him touring the facilities and looking at a bunch of trophies and he said "This is high-level. We talked about collecting jewelry at Loyola....THIS is collecting jewelry." Well, yea, Porter....that kind of jewelry is collected when a coach stays and a program dominates for a long period of time. All that plus him talking about culture and all that...it's too much.

As others have said, he is nothing to us going forward. Will focus on our guys--the players, Coach Drew, the staff, the former players.
