I don't think IU put out the McCollum stuff. If he is interested in Iowa, it would make sense to leak that he is a top candidate at Indiana to push Iowa into making a move on McCollum.
Not sure if that's the case, just saying that could be an explanation. Goodman puts out these types of statements every off-season that don't end up turning into anything. So we'll see.
I'll take McCollum over Brownell everyday though.
