Rumors ran rampant this weekend that Mike Anderson of Missouri was taking the Arkansas job but now it sounds like he is staying in Missouri leaving Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee & Georgia Tech as the seemingly plum jobs available.
Don't dismiss them based on perceived bias. Both Oklahoma and Georgia Tech have been to Final Fours in the last decade. Arkansas and Tennessee are SEC schools considered capable of being national players. There will be concern about Tennessee sanctions and a another NCAA mess at OU.
Buzz Williams as mentioned before, will get a long look at OU and if the Anderson story plays out like expected, Arkansas will probably sniff around, too. But given his run this year and the recruits he has coming in, it's not a given he'll just move on. If he does, it's expected VCU'S Shaka Smith would be a lead candidate at Marquette since he is from the state (who knew!).
