I'm assuming three immediately on Devries transfer radar are: His son (duh) Jonathan Powell Nijel Pack

You'd have to wake him up first.

So no tattoo, Home Jersey?

It actually wasn't the first 16. He had a stop and start year with injuries. SOme of the games were in the second half of the year.

This was to be his senior season and he only played the first 8 games before injury. He'll get another year.

Small does not have eligibility left.

Portal szn now. Would obviously Tucker DeVries is coming. Jonathan Powell would make sense to come over from West Virginia as well.

Official!

Just my opinion, vindictive is not a good look.

I would only ask you to take a look at Drake's history prior to DeVries. In his five years at Drake, his teams had an average record of 25-9. In the ten years prior, Drake's average record was 13-18 and they only had a winning record' once (at 18-16).

People say Archie Miller won at Dayton but 'everybody wins at Dayton'. Prior to DeVries, NOBODY won at Drake. In the last 50 years, Drake has had 16 winning seasons.......six for six with DeVries, 10 of 44 with everybody else. Five NCAA appearances in 50 years.....three were DeVries. In the last 50 years, they had won 20 or more games 8 times. DeVries was 6 of 6, everyone else was 2 of 44.

LOVE the hire. Average record of 24-10 in seven years and 26-8 in his last four years at Drake. 49 years old, so a guy who is still on the young side of coaching. And he's an honest to God X and O college coach. Typically in the first year at a school, the offense is more about talent than coaching while on the defense it's more about effort. West Virginia was 15th in defensive efficiency this year. He gets his kids to play.

10-10 on a team that had to put together quickly and without its best player.....pretty damn good.

missed the tournament*

Turgeon? :)

And knows the names of players.

Or maybe Dakich just inquired about having him on since Goodman mentioned him in the search. It's good press for McCollum regardless of whether or not he is a candidate as it makes him look wanted on the national scene.

I think Jonathan Powell of WV entering the portal might be telling.

If that is the case, why wouldn't he just put 'Devries to remain at West Virginia'? I think he is just stating what he knows: DeVries not going to Iowa.

Breakthrough S16 or higher appearances don't always translate well. I.e., Archie Miller.

Sounds good to me. I really like DeVries.

Part of me wants IU to announce their coach during the UNC game just to stick it to them.

So mark him off the list.

Huh? His son didn't play a game during the Big 12 season and they beat the #2 and #7 teams.

If you are melting down on DeVries, I don't know what to say. SOLID coach.
