The Scott Sutton rumor does have legs.

The Tulsa World is reporting in a story this morning:
"Rumors of a possible Scott Sutton exit swirl"

"Even before Dana Altman had been confirmed Monday as the University of Arkansas' new head basketball coach, Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton was being discussed as Altman's Creighton University successor."

" Sutton has often been discussed as Altman's most likely successor when the time came, because of his obvious connections to the school. "


Then..one of the World's columnists suggests that if Scott Sutton goes to Creighton, then his dad Eddie Sutton would be a perfect fit to take over at Oral Roberts.

"Sources confirmed Monday night that Eddie Sutton has already been told by high-ranking ORU officials that he would be a strong candidate to replace his son if Scott Sutton does leave the Golden Eagles."

Give Eddie a chauffer and free booze 24/7 and he'll be great at Oral Roberts. I wonder if Moser would be an assistant there if offered? He can recruit.

I'd love to see Reggie Theus and his great hair in the Valley. I loved his frullet he sported with the Bulls in the early 80's. Fraschilla would be a poor choice.
