If the Will Bailey rumors are true, he would likely be that guy. That would be a very good outside hire, IMHO

Super excited to have Clay back on our team. If you wanna read more about it, I wrote an article for A10talk!

Interesting movements all around for those with Rambler connections. Custer returns to our staff, while, in maybe the biggest surprise, Matt Gordon leaves Oklahoma to join Pat Baldwin on Roger Powell’s new Valpo staff. And, to complete the 6 Degrees of Ramblers merry-go-round, Armon Gates reunites with Porter on the Oklahoma staff.

Looks like there were a lot of transfer portal guys from Oklahoma..do not know how to interpret that or what it means in terms of the direction of their program and two guys leaving the staff....dont know if it is a sinking ship scenario or a we need better guys raising the sails..?

On the Gordon / Custer front, both are promotions for each of them to the assistant level of the staff (at least, I believe that’s the case).

Great gets for both LU and Valpo. I would doubt Gates would come over to OU if the ship was sinking…but PM has a lotta heat on him and I would also suspect he gave his blessing to both Custer and Flash.

Further confirmation Bailey is a Rambler:

I'm still not convinced...

SLU announced on the 27th that Chris Harriman was coming in as an assistant coach?? But nothing about Coach Bailey leaving...but sure feels like if you are following the bread crumbs???????

I expect a real Bailey announcement later today. Also - a real winner will be back in Rogers Park. Pumped to have Keith
