Reports: Ex-Michigan State basketball GA Drew Valentine to be promoted at Loyola Chicago

Tom Izzo's Michigan State basketball coaching tree reportedly has a new branch. (As does Greg Kampe's at Oakland.)

With former Loyola Chicago head coach Porter Moser headed to Oklahoma, the Ramblers are expected to put assistant coach Drew Valentine in charge, according to reports from the Lansing State Journal, ESPN and the Chicago Tribune.

Valentine played four seasons at Oakland under Kampe, then spent two seasons as a grad assistant under Izzo at Michigan State, where his brother Denzel was a star.

Valentine then returned to OU as an assistant for two seasons before joining Moser’s staff in 2017.
