I would definitely take Murphy over Clark.

You don’t want Clark really. Murphy absolutely.

Why wouldn’t we want Clark?

He has essentially zero knowledge of gameplay and ball. Recruiter yes. Coach? No.

I don’t know anything about the guy. But how could an assistant for Barnes and a top 10 team have zero knowledge of ball?

I’m going off what I’ve read about the guy from folks who know of him. Just saying he would be solely recruiting

I’m ok with a guy on staff that can be an elite recruiter.

Yep agreed! My ideal staff is a head coach who can teach, an assistant who is an X’s and O’s guy, an assistant who is an elite recruiter, and then other coaches who fill other voids but I think you need those things to be at the front of what you want from an assistant.

Eric said Chris capko from SMU was on campus recently talking about a potential job with IU

Wonder if that’s why there has been no announcement?

Do we think there was a tough sell to administration considering his background.

Sounds like it's not a done deal with Moikobu from TT either, from what he said.

I think it’s more of a why should I leave bama type of situation

Preston Murphy was hit with a 2 year show cause after getting caught up in the fbi thing a few years ago?

Yeah I’ll be curious what the reason is for the hold up on remaining staff

Was it true that DeVries didn't tell any of his players or assistants he was leaving for IU, he just took off? Could explain why nobody wanted to follow him here. 

Kory Barrnett would have come if he didn't get the Oral Roberts gig.  3 other members of the staff did follow him.  Maybe he was just done with Cliff and Tom.

I don’t think this would’ve gotten as far as it did if the connection there was a hangup.

Ya didn’t have a show cause but was also named in the investigation and that didn’t keep him away.

As an FYI, like the Texas Tech assistant, Rod Clark has ties to Sunrise Christain Academy.
