I also know a player on Butler's team and have not heard this. I will say it would seem odd if he is only there for the short term sense he seems to be recruiting at a high level. I mean he has the best class in school history coming in. He also went to visit one of those commits in Vermont last week. It also wouldn't surprise me if Butler gave him a pay raise if he was considering a move. I'm sure they have more revenue since they are in the Big East and they are paying him 1.5 million I believe. That is only .5 million more than what they paid Brad Stevens when they were in the Horizon League. Not saying I am right but that just doesn't add up to me. So since I have said this he will probably be gone next week ;)

Probably another false alarm.

There is a flight from Bloomington to OKC that is taking place later today. Could be a meeting between Glass and Billy D.

The flight from Wichita just showed up on my computer when I refreshed it.

Glass is probably just watching to make sure he doesn't want to add him to the list if something would happen won't fall through with Billy.

Looks like this might have been a false alarm.

The plane to Dayton was the prop plane the plane to St. Louis was a private jet that was there for about 3 hours. According to Mile.

I 100% agree.

Several insiders have repeatedly said that he isn't on the list. Could that have been a smokescreen by Glass???

With IU's future coach on the sidelines. ;)

Might just be a contingency plan.

I've been wondering about that.

Maybe this is a sign that Archie is in fact #3 on their list.

Another poster on 247 said this "I noticed that a flight just left Bloomington for Dayton. Is that unusual?" the another poster said " There is also a return flight back to Bloomington from Dayton at 7:00 pm. Interesting." Is it for Archie???

Saw someone post this on 247 and seemed like a logical possibility. Also because it referenced the Stephanie White situation that I mentioned in another post. "For the people that think that Billy wouldn't consider IU until the Thunder are eliminated all I can say is look at what Stephanie White did when she left the Indiana Fever to go to Vandy. Also I think the reason that his house in Florida could be in correlation with him coming to IU potentially and here is why. It is plausible that the reason he kept that home was because he wanted to stay there rather than OKC during the NBA offseason. However if he goes back to college to coach there isn't much of an offseason like the NBA because of the offseason workouts and all of the recruiting that goes on in the summer. So if it is that he is coming to IU the Florida home goes up for sale now and OKC home goes up for sale when he leaves OKC."

Dakich said on his show that Gottfried wanted out if he didn't get fired due to some family things that at going on. So if true I doubt of it would be to awkward.

Dakich finally went off today on his show about IU's brand of basketball. He said he is tired of the turnovers. He said he thinks Crean should get one more year. But things need to change. He said Bryant shouldn't be dribbling the ball 30 feet from the bucket and the guards are all ridiculous starting with JBJ. Not saying he is right about Crean getting one more year but at least he is starting to get a realistic outlook that things need to change.

The question is did Alford have any interest in IU?

I tend to agree but let's see who they hire if Crean is removed. I have a gut feeling Glass will try to make a splash with this hire because his job will probably be attached to it. Especially sense Men's basketball is were the majority of the revenue comes from.

I agree it's probably just a rumor and nothing more but if there is any truth than it's an extremely interesting situation.

This alone should be a reason to ditch Crean and move on to someone else.

According to New Albany's AD Crean really hasn't shown much interest in Romeo and he described his recruitment as being wide open. He said that IU would have had a good shot but I think Crean has screwed this one up.

He is a moderator on 247 who has been right about IU stuff in that past and seems to have several insightful sources.

It's possible that they were on the list of people that were contacted. Mile's source may have just informed him of the guys that had shown some interest. I know Stevens was included and he said no but he is included at the top of every list.

Mile said that he thinks Fife was included because IU is looking at him as a potential coach on down the road and doesn't want to burn any bridges with him later. Not saying that's the reason but that was his thoughts anyway.
