[mthoopsfan]

Head coach is Jonathan Smith, former UM OC. Hired by Pflu.

Legi Suiaunoa - D-Line Coach - https://msuspartans.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/legi-suiaunoa/1528

Aaron Pflugrad - Recent NAU OC - Offensive Analyst - https://msuspartans.com/sports/football/roster/staff/aaron-pflugrad/648

Some of the other former UM assistants who were at Oregon St., must have moved on, either before or recently.

I've wondered a bit, who are our connects at Nebraska? We obviously have a pipeline going both directions, but I don't know why.

Those connections may come in handy when kids attending MSU might be looking to transfer to another school.

Shann Schillinger was there for a couple years as a coach.

For example DeAri Todd.

Thank you for that. I hadn't realized.

I don’t think SS had anything to do with the transfers he was at Nebraska for 1 year in 2015.

PR: serious question….do you think it’s just a coincidence? I mean, we’ve had a few other programs we’ve picked up multiple players from as well…

I asked our center why-how he came to UM. It was some random connection. Nothing that I ever knew or thought of. I always assumed there was some Nebraska pipeline reason. I don’t think there is.

I don’t know in the Oregon st guys a few years ago. There may have been something there. I will ask.

It’s a private search firm that Nebraska hires to get coaches, administrators, and now with the unregulated world we live in, players. No connection to Montana. Welcome to the new age of college athletics.

Yep. OSU was one I was thinking of. Wazzu a couple years ago. Now potentially Fresno State if this CB shows up. Strange how it works that way…
