In year three under Porter Moser, it is looking like things are starting to click for the Oklahoma Sooners. They have found themselves back in the top 25 after a week out of it.
Theyβve also set themselves up perfectly for a NCAA Tournament berth. That would be the first NCAA Tournament appearance since Lon Krugerβs final season in Norman.
But just as things have started to look up, rumors started to swirl last week that this could be Moserβs final season in Norman. The school that could pull him away was DePaul.
On the surface, that move doesnβt make a lot of sense. DePaul is 3-20 on the season this year. But if you dig a little deeper, it actually makes a lot of sense. DePaul is in Chicago, IL, which is an area Moser knows very well, coming from Loyola Chicago. Itβs also a Catholic university which is something that has been reported to mean a lot to Moser.
Moser was asked about these rumors during his media availability on Monday. βI havenβt talked to anybody,β Moser said. βNot even thinking about anything. Iβm just absolutely not even engaging in anything like that, 100%. Iβm so excited about where we are at with the team. This is everything weβve tried to build for, is being in this position. Same comment as last year, all rumors, all mill-fodder. Nothing true.β
Whether you think heβs the guy for the job or not, Moser has started to show signs of success. This was a rebuild that was going to take time and heβs made real progress in year three. At the end of the day, having continuity is never a bad thing either.
