Well, Porter going to Oklahoma - how about that. Not only a step up in programs, but a definite decrease in tax rates, all across the board between Hellinois to Oklahoma.

Any change Loyola comes knocking on Muller's door???

With Porter moving on look for some potential coaching change domino effect on another MVC program. One program that could be impacted is pretty obvious, IMO.

ISU is building quite a resume.

I never said anything about DJ not leaving. My only comment, and I will always stand by this is that I believe certain types of posts should remain off limits on a message board from fans, especially around speculation or rumors relating to them in any way, regardless of whether it's about them leaving, grades, personal/private life issues. I believe any information about these kids should come from them and them only, certainly not from anonymous "fan" that spreads rumors before they are ready to come out. It wreaks of tabloid media gossip and those that post content like this I look at just like paparazzi which is to say, in the very lowest form of person on the internet. I understand speculation and people being upset with a coach and sharing their discontent with the program (although constantly repeating the same talking points over and over gets old and does nothing positive) but not the kids. If anyone wants to spread rumors, my only ask is to show your name and face instead of hiding behind a made up screen name.

I do remember saying I didn't think Porter would leave as I know he has ties to the Chicago area and for him, I didn't (and don't) perceive his potential decision to be just about the money itself so will admit that I'm somewhat surprised. I would not have made a bet on it either way though.

I love Porter and am really happy for him. Always enjoyed connecting with him when he was at ISU and felt he'd be a good coach. He has a passion for the game and an electrifying personalty that a lot of people love. He still has the spirt of a young kid that loves to play the game. When I last lived in Bloomington years ago, I remember signing up right away and attending all of his "Breakfast Club" meetings each week with other ISU fans at (I think) 6:30 in the mornings. I'll be cheering for him at Oklahoma just as I have in his time at Loyola. He's a great person all around.

Good for Moser. He’d be an idiot not to move on.
More proof that loyalty is a myth; especially among those hoping it’s an actual character trait in 18 year old Redbirds.

Didn't see that coming . . . .

I thought he may go up I-94 to Marquette, but Shaka Smart beat him (or maybe "lost" over him, since Texas was eliminated earlier) to the punch.
