I would think B Tucker would be looking for a mins guarantee and I don’t see DeVries giving that. If they both come to an agreement and he decides to stay, great. I would like to see what a new staff can get out of him.

https://x.com/bball_logician/status/1904296425296433159?s=46 Jonathan Powell just hit the portal. I would assume that IU will go after him.

I feel like he was one of those coaches that benefited heavily from being able to cheat. Now that everyone can pay players, he is just average.

It’s interesting watching the mental gymnastics with Iowa fans on X who have now revised all of their opinions on DeVries vs McCollum. DeVries wasn’t the coach they wanted very badly just a week ago. McCollum is a great coach but he comes with a fair amount of risk as well.

Will Javon Small get another year for Covid? Last year was his 4th year.

Are coaches calling the players or the player’s agent? I thought most college players have agents these days.

What if it wasn’t either schools choice? DeVries obviously chose IU over Iowa. He was Iowa’s number one choice. No one knows if IU picked DeVries over McCollum. Most say McCollum favored Iowa. You can’t hold it against Dolson if McCollum said no.

I went over to the Drake message board and read their thoughts on DeVries. Positive thoughts were that he will quickly build a winner and that he should recruit well. Negative thoughts were that his teams dealt with a lot of injuries and they thought he played to conservative to end games. There were multiple instances where his teams gave up leads in tourney games to ultimately lose. That doesn’t really line up with stat Dolson gave of 65% win percentage in close games. That was supposedly a good stat when looking at good programs.

Thats would be a strong staff, but we always think that with a new coach.

The Franimal? Haha

In addition to Will Wade, NC State is hiring Andrew Slater of the Oklahoma City Thunder for their GM role. Former recruiting Analyst. https://x.com/prosportsgoats/status/1903148864997089776?s=46

Has there been any concrete info of a GM role being established?

I see a lot of hate toward Ostrom. Where does that come from? I know he was a former assistant.
