Evans says no to Lamar. Could be a sign he is joining Kruger's staff.

“@GuerinEmig: Talked to Terry Evans today. Says he has withdrawn from consideration at Lamar. I think he'd take #OU position if offered.”

We need Evans on this staff.

Okay, seriously if this happens the this is EXACTLY what I had hoped for in like 10 different threads. Maybe the "interview" was that Terry, we are hiring Lon Kruger and are pretty confident that he is coming, that said, there is a place for you in this program and we want you here, is that something you can live with? Now will you please go recruit the heck out of Oklahoma and Texas while at the same time learning under a stud coach for $180,000 per year? IF this happens, I'm officially beyond ecstatic.

If Kruger hires Evans I will seriously bow-down to the guy (Jim Traber style, haha). What a great move for OU basketball!

 

[WaymanFan]

I would be shocked if there was a single OU fan who wouldn't want Terry Evans as an assistant coach. Him saying NO to Lamar is great news for us...we hope.

I have no source and all speculation...I think it is going to happen. Maybe (lol).

 

[Soonerman]

I just hope there's enough room on the bench since it sounds like Lon is bringing all his UNLV guys..

This would be good

Agreed. Hiring Terry as an assistant may be the only thing that would get 100% approval from every OU fan on this board. I hope saying NO to Lamar is a sign that he will be on the bench with Coach Kruger when the season starts.

oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness

 

[oukimber]

Honestly, how many people would have thought that OU could hire one of the candidates for the HC job as an assistant...and everything be hunky dory?

That would be awesome for the fanbase.

 

[Edmond_Sooner]

By bringing in his current staff and adding Evans i see this as a perfect move...

They have a staff that is already on the same page and in on some guys for the next few years and add a guy that will immediately help them in recruiting this area...LOVE IT

[Boomer]

100% agree. That would be the best case scenario.

 

[tycat947]

100% agree. That would be the best case scenario.

Usually, when they say no, it means they weren't offered and the school allows them to "save face", if you will. That may not be the case here, but it usually is. Best to Terry!

translation: disagree with us and we'll call you lots of names

 

[MsProudSooner]

Since Kruger is bringing his entire staff from UNLV, wouldn't someone have to leave for there to be room for Terry Evans?

 

[Sooner79]

Before we all get to ecstatic at the possibility of Evans to OU, think about this....OKC...Beaumont....OKC...Beaumont. I rest my case.
