He still doesn’t say absolutely no. These coaches know how to talk to the press.

I live in Jennings as well. It's where I've been teaching for 26+ years. I'm originally from Martinsville.

Here is me trying to connect some dots if Brad is not the guy. one of Chris Beard's closest friends is Pat Knight. Pat Knight is a scout for the Indiana Pacers. Who are two of our board of trustees Quinn Buckner & Jim Morris both VP's of the Indiana Pacers. That would be easy to backchannel Beard. Just me playing Matlock today

I’m at the point where anyone but Brad Stevens would disappoint me. 
 
I blame no one but myself. 

Here's a comparison..... Back in the day coach Knight rarely recruited players, his assistants did most of it. The "BRAND" was enough. That also got him in trouble later in his coaching career. However, if Brad came, I think the rigors of recruiting would come easy for him because many would want to be a part of what he brings, especially when he starts winning at IU and the BRAND is renewed......JMHO.

He sent out a nice email last night. I like what he had to say.

I hope your source is right about Brad. He's my grand slam! I did just see a post where he stated he was staying in Boston. Those type of news reports don't always hold water.
 You have definitely been good about relaying info from your contacts. I look forward to them.

Another hearty welcome to a new poster.  Glad you joined us.

Welcome my friend. Come on in the water is great and just starting to heat up. 

I saw my friend on here, so I followed you over. (Artie86)
