That's a home run for DePaul.
It also says a lot for the conference in that it can continue to attract great coaches....

If it's true it's a mirror of McDermott's move from Iowa State to Creighton.

'I'm just absolutely not even engaging in anything like that ': Porter Moser denies DePaul rumors
A year ago Porter Moser denied rumors about interest in Notre Dame.
Who knows what triggers coaches' decisions to move, but leaving Oklahoma for DePaul seems like a dumb one.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Motivation for him would be going home. But leave Oklahoma for DePaul? Yikes. I guess you can argue that teams can be rebuilt quickly thru the portal but lots of instances where that didn’t work out. And do they have NIL $?
I hope he asked that question on the interview!!!
Seriously, Maybe NIL was part of the attraction to take the job. Organization or several large donors stepped up and made a compelling case, and no FB to compete with.
Yes, interesting, thought Moser did a better job at Oklahoma than he actually did, 19-33 in the Big 12.
Oklahoma was always an odd fit for him. Seemed like a guy who wanted to cash in on Loyola's success and took the best job available at the time. But he's a Chicago guy so now he wants to come home. It makes sense to me, even though it's a big downgrade in the job.
Does DePaul really want a 55 year old coach who hasn’t been much better than mediocre for most of his career and is clearly looking for a comfy landing spot back home? It can’t be worse than status quo, but to me they need someone young and hungry.
But unlike Shaheen and others, he didn't leave Loyola immediately after
its final four run. And I don't get the benefit of not having to compete with football---- a big revenue source---- especially at large state university.
You have to look at that statement in a mirror. When you do that it’s say “show me the money!”'I'm just absolutely not even engaging in anything like that ': Porter Moser denies DePaul rumors

I'm not sure DePaul needs to be replaced if the Big East is actually going to make that move (and to be honest I'm not sure I see it happening).
It'd be nice to have the Chicago market but I don't know if they matter any more than DePaul does. Beyond that, it may take them a minute or five to ramp up to be competitive in the Big East.
Good point about Chicago as a whole. I’d imagine a halfway decent team within the market would be beneficial. But given the nature of big ten country maybe not.
Would 10 teams be better on the revenue splits for us?
Does anyone believe that the 9 Catholic Schools in the BEAST would ever --ever -- ever- vote to expel the Largest Catholic University in the USA ?
After the wolves at Georgetown pillaged Providence's coach, I would not be surprised by Depaul being booted.
Who knows? Sometimes it's just not the right fit. Shaka Smart at Marquette > Shaka Smart at Texas.
Ok - I am picking against Oklahoma whoever they play in NCAA tournament. I might be willing to give +26.
The fit of the school may not be the only fit issue. transitioning to the SEC could be the bigger concern. SEC ball is a different brand of basketball, different level of Football/NIL money. Really takes the Midwest guy out of the Midwest.
My guess is the overall revenue package would decrease. Though the per team payout could increase.
You are losing the Chicago market for whatever that's worth plus there will be less inventory (roughly 30 games per year just for Men's Basketball). It basically depends on how those games are valued.
Even if this were a consideration, there are more sports that are part of the equation than just basketball. I really can't see something like this happening anytime soon.
this would be a stupid tweet for a guy who didnt plan on leaving. if its too good to be true , it probably is.
He'll magically have only started talks after they lose in NCAA
They are in but have been trending down lately. If they lose 1st round of big 12 tournament may drop to play in game in Dayton
CL: While we have you here, and in the "who knows" category, was Muhl's decision to leave hers or Geno's? It could have been somewhat mutual, but one side might have been more insistent than the other.
Muhl's decision. Geno loves her.
Keep in mind that foreign players can't earn NIL in the US. Minimally Nika can make some significant money playing in Europe. I think she's got a shot of making the WNBA, but it's definitely not a lock.
Speaking of Mühl...
If he ends up at Depaul, he'll have to change his name to Portal Moser.
Lengthy article about her in this morning's CT Post. I've become a fan only recently. Think she is a class act for sure. Always thought, though, on a UCONN team her real value was coming off the bench and providing a dynamic spark. Injuries seemed to nix that, and UCONN faithful will remind [me] about her assist numbers.
Well since you asked....
She is the all-time single-season assist leader:
Season
| Rk | Player | Assists | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nika Mühl | 284 | 2022–23 |
| 2 | Sue Bird | 231 | 2001–02 |
| 3 | Crystal Dangerfield | 225 | 2018–19 |
| 4 | Jennifer Rizzotti | 222 | 1995–96 |
| 5 | Nika Mühl | 218 | 2023–24 |
| 6 | Diana Taurasi | 208 | 2001–02 |
| 7 | Moriah Jefferson | 204 | 2015–16 |
| 8 | Maya Moore | 199 | 2008–09 |
| 9 | Moriah Jefferson | 195 | 2013–14 |
| 10 | Moriah Jefferson | 191 | 2014–15 |
| Gabby Williams | 191 | 2017–18 |
There are some pretty good names on that list.
Probably before the end of the big east tournament she'll be the all-time cumulative assist leader as well.
