It appears Nebraska basketball staffer Ali Farkohmanesh is headed back to the Missouri Valley Conference.
The Des Moines Register reported Thursday that sources close to the hiring process said Farokhmanesh will be hired as the third assistant on Niko Medved’s new staff at Drake.
Medved, a former assistant to Tim Miles at Colorado State, was hired by Drake May 26 after a four-year stint at Furman.
Farkohmanesh would join Dave Thorson and JR Blount as Medved’s assistants in Des Moines.
With an official title of director of player relations and development, Farokhmanesh recently completed his third season on the Husker staff.
