Oof…Guessing there isn’t much of a commitment in Norman to upgrade basketball facilities? Losing Moser to a program like DePaul isn’t a very good look entering the SEC.

A number of years ago Oliver Purnell left Clemson after 7 years for DePaul. It was kind of a weird move, he had them in the right direction - making the tournament 3 years in a row before he left. He then spent 5 years at DePaul where he went 54-105 (15-75) and I don’t think he’s head coached since.
Not sure how DePaul gets these guys.

Arkansas fans are always desperate to distract from the dumpster fire they have going in Fayetteville. The two sports that make money are both in shambles over there.

I don't think it is the "commitment to facilities" just yet. Although it could be if he stays.
Moser is a Chicago guy and DePaul is the #1 job at the largest Catholic school in the city. Meanwhile at OU he is feeling pressure. For him to return home to a good job (potentially) and stay one step ahead of the jailer is what we have here.
It is almost the exact same scenario as Shaka Smart at Texas. Get a job at home before Texas fires you.

As for facilities, OU does need to upgrade. However, they are on hold right now as City of Norman is looking to build a state of art arena along with private companies. The court would be used by OU. So for now, they are waiting to see if this passes before they make any decisions. Once that passes then great and if not then they will start talks in earnest to upgrade.
I did some reading on the Moser thing. One rumor is Porter overplayed his DePaul hand (to OU) and it didn’t turn out like he thought. He was supposedly asking for a new court and other things and as I mentioned, OU has to wait out the City decision first. But it also seems they are ok if he leaves from the tea leaves I read.
He took over a team on the downslide and is rebuilding it. He’s made progress but not as fast as some want. He was hired same year as WBB coach and she has done wonders when she started with less. So it will be interesting what happens. I have nothing bad to say about him but heading to SEC most thought he’d be further along (this is his 3rd year). And not to discount the B12 is the best BB conf so its hard to rebuild.

There "isn't a commitment" to Moser.

I remember DePaul under Ray Meyer being elite growing up. You would think they would see the money now in NCAA basketball, and pony up to restore that.

Moser is from Chicago, part of why it took so long for someone to pry him from Loyola . Some were surprised he left even for a high profile job like ou
Maybe he got homesick and wants to go back to Chicago

Maybe OU will take Arkansas coach.

For those of us that grew up watching Billy Ball....OU BB hasnt existed for decades.

Is Porter at DePaul yet?

Um......Moser hasn't exactly set the world on fire since he was hired. If he leaves, he leaves.
