It's a huge jump from the Summit League, even to an average AAC. He'll have to establish credibility with a much higher caliber of player to meet Wichita State's expectations.

to be fair you could've said that about most teams that played us this year.

I was disappointed when I first heard this news, but I am keeping an open mind. Hopefully this will turn out to be a great hire.

Gonna be a whole lotta bible thumpin’ for a state school.

Let's hope his ceiling is the roof!

oh, he'll have a much higher ceiling at WSU. Bigger fan base, and recruiting budget...better facilities and league. He's also very animated on the sideline so I think WSU fans will like him.

Talking to other Shocker fans the initial reaction is mixed, but most people are cautiously optimistic that this will turn out well.

Not wasting anytime getting the offers going. Gotta like that.

Makes sense given that Oral Roberts was already recruiting him.

He has a lot of offers, including a few P5

clt says big move from oral to the shockers!

hope he is ready to face the cbi champs

Abmas is unlikely to follow Mills. I think Mills is unlikely to attempt to bring him. Vanover is an unlikely transfer. He's used his freebie trfr and would have to sit a year.

From what I've seen of Mills, he's not likely to recruit ORU players. If ORU players want to follow him, that's a different story. Mills is not Jankovich.

On paper this is a good hire, you never know until they start the job.

Missed something while on vacation. What happened to the coach they had.
Retired? Moved on? Fired?

Brown was fired the day after we lost to Tulane in the AAC tourney.
