K state wanted him as alumnus and thought they would get him next year.

Stuck with a perennial under achiever for years and then can't keep an over achiever for a single year. Brutal.

That's stupid but it probably means he wasn't happy at OSU and/or Illinois is a better fit.

If he's leaving because he's already sick of Kansas, don't blame him.

I think CW said on a recent podcast that there are rumblings that Drew wants out of Baylor. Is tired being drug through the mud with the football fiasco.
I don't think he would go to OSU though. I think he has gotten a lot of built up immunity at Baylor after what he took over for. Illinois made sense because it is close to home and isn't like Indiana with their fans.

I believe this makes Prohm the lowest paid coach in the big 12 now. Pollard better give him a nice raise soon
He deserves over $2 million a year easily. If Pollard doesn't do something during the offseason Prohm could get poached soon.

How often do coaches stay at a school for a decade and then leave for a job within the same conference? Oklahoma State seems unrealistic for Drew to leave to.

that is crazy. Evans must be going pro. Also heard Underwood was vastly underpaid at Okie State. You would think Okie State would increase his salary after this year.

Both commits are PGs so I'd say Underwood thought Evans was gone

Yeah, after a 2nd place finish, big 12 tournament championship, and a win in the tournament (with more possibly to go), plus the sweet 16 last year id guess he was guaranteed an extension and a raise already
