Adam Hildebrand leaving ORU?

Thanks Bogus.

Here's a good guy, with tons of local ties and a prior history of broadcasting ORU games as a substitute:

Is there any chance Dave Garrett comes back?

That’s another good one!  I think he lives in Henryetta these days, but that’s not too bad of a commute (unless it’s inclement )

Why not just dig up Jerry Vaughn? That dude was classic 70s and a really nice man....anybody know what year he retired doing ORU Basketball on KRMG??

Not sure if anyone is watching but Adam is doing the announcing on ESPN Plus for the OK State vs Green Bay game.  It seems very strange hearing him do the Cowboys broadcasting.  He will be missed and is really good at what he does.

A couple of weeks ago he filled in for the usual announcer doing the Broken Arrow High School game.

Connor Clark did an admirable job on his first broadcast as ORU's play-by-play announcer.  While Adam left big shoes to fill, Connor will do very well.

Gotta say enjoyed Connor Clark. Will always miss Adam he was a gem. Connor seems to be a nice addition for ORU. Lookin forward to a game where he really gets to call some good stuff!

Connor is very knowledgeable and confident for such a young-looking man.  He was good on opening night, and I think we will see more of his personality as the season progresses.

Listening to him on radio makes it difficult to know what is happening. He calls games like television, and you can see what is happening. Maybe he'll improve but I wasn't excited about the hire. This is a Division I program and we hired a student radio broadcaster and it shows early into the season. Again hope it improves but this is the best we could get?
