Fresh off a below .500 season, the pressure is on for [autotag]Porter Moser[/autotag] as he heads into year three. With that pressure also comes a last-minute shift in his coaching staff.
In July, [autotag]Emmanuel Dildy[/autotag] left Oklahoma to join the [autotag]Duke Blue Devils[/autotag]’ staff. That had become almost a trend for Moser at Oklahoma. He lost [autotag]KT Turner[/autotag] and [autotag]David Patrick[/autotag], who were both assistants on Moser’s first staff.
Reports started to surface Monday, first by [autotag]CBS Sports[/autotag]’ Jon Rothstein, the Sooners had found their newest assistant. [autotag]Clayton Cluster[/autotag] is someone very familiar to Moser. He was the starting point guard when [autotag]Loyola-Chicago Ramblers[/autotag]went to the Final Four in 2018.
He also worked on his staff at Oklahoma before returning to Loyola Chicago as an assistant there. There has been no official announcement of his hiring as of this article.

Custer should prove to be vital to the young players and point guards on the roster. There are not many people out there who know Moser’s system better than Custer after running it for three seasons.
The hope is Custer can come in and help [autotag]Milos Uzan[/autotag] take his game to another level by being the leader and point guard for Moser’s team. With that, he will hopefully also take the Sooners to the [autotag]NCAA Tournament[/autotag] for the first time in the Moser era.
