IU Hoosier41

Any truth to the rumors of him wanting to Come back for another season of NIL as a Heisman Winner? Financially it actually makes some sense if he doesn’t like the NFL locations with top draft picks

Not one bit lol

https://x.com/btownbanners/status/1910717939285655730?s=46 BREAKING SOON: Indiana to hire assistant head coach Mike Bargen from Bradley as a top assistant. #iubb the fly by breaking news post :). Hope y’all are doing good!!!

I think it’s important to note that when people post things they “hear” from insiders it generally is what they hear. The stuff I heard and shared is what happened. Indiana went full court press on Stevens. Something we all wanted Indiana to do. Steven’s got a nice big raise from it. If it’s the end, we move on and can finally close the Brad Stevens chapter at Indiana as if it doesn’t happen now, it never will. all that being said, if my current employer asks me about my position with the company as I’m entertaining and listening to another company my answer is pretty damn similar to his. The needs were supposedly met for Stevens to come, he chose otherwise. If it’s over I’m happy it played out this way, so we know we threw everything at him and weren’t being cheap.

Not unexpected honestly. He definitely changed his words a lot since Tuesday though...

Agree 100%. Timing doesn’t make sense at all unless he isn’t on their bench.

Sooo.... this Purdue game announcement is gaining more steam. My sister is at an event in downtown Indy and was talking with Anthony Calhoun who said an announcement is coming during Purdue game. No clue how he’d know but that’s the second I’ve seen that in the last 3 hours. Believe other text more than this one but.... Update: I sent a couple texts out to people I trust to see if they will confirm or deny this. Interesting it’s come from two very different places. Just posting in case it happens you guys can witness it live lol.

Announcement during Purdue game tonight? Most recent text I got from former player. If they actually did that it would be the greatest FU of all time LOL. Don’t necessarily believe it, but be watching the Purdue game if it does lol

I’ll never not find it funny the hard stance national guys take on these issues.

I’ll say this. Over the last 10+ years running this site and working with Indiana and especially when Hutchens came on board I’ve met some very connected people. I don’t reach out to them much and occasionally they’ll reach out to me. I’ve heard rumblings of this for a bit. Stevens is the only choice at this point, Indiana was prepared to make whatever offer needed he couldn’t refuse. Haven’t heard anything is done, but have heard confidence from IU side as they presented everything he needed to see. So unless a major change of heart... I’m optimistic. I still won’t believe anything until I see the press conference. don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just relaying the tidbits I’ve gotten which aren’t groundbreaking.

This is fun :)

Most definitely! Moving to Boynton. Have to meet up!

Family is doing great! We’re actually about to move down to florida next week!

Been a minute... guessing I may need to increase our server capacity soon. Go Hoosiers!!!

All is good my man. Went from 1 to 4 kids in the last 3 years... so my available time has RAPIDLY decreased.
