Shortly after news broke that Mississippi State baseball assistant Nick Mingione will take the head coaching job at Kentucky, it now looks like State's pitching coach, Wes Johnson, will take the pitching coach position at Arkansas.
This rumor has been swirling for days now, and Wes Johnson's official Twitter account from the MSU athletic department is no longer in existence.
A quick check of Twitter shows that Wes Johnson has deleted his @MSUCommandVelo account. Looks like another MSU assistant is gone.
