Nothing confirmed but rumor is that Quinn and Woodson passed down their fleece(ing) jackets to Darian and Tucker.

9 games over .500 the last 7 seasons with 1 tourney win and not a ton of NIL. That isn't the same level of program from which IU has been hunting and failing in their search for assistants. IU could probably pull asst from WV equivalent programs. Being an asst at IU will open more doors than being one at WV. The same can not be said about ALA and the like. Their needs to be a reason to move and IU can't offer one over other top 25 programs.

Except WV wasn't a a very successful program. Trying to sign guys from ALA or TT is different than going after an asst coach from Vandy, ASU, or Providence.

What complete nonsense. I've changed my opinion from neutral to wanting him just to hear you obsessively b*tch about him all year.

No strong opinion on whether we get Pack or not, but you want to condemn him for "his" win loss record yet invalidate his 29-8 season because he had players around him. That is more specious than blaming a QB for his W/L record. Oh and he would already be only at best the 3rd best player on a team of, with him, 4 confirmed players so seems like he would be right in his sweet spot, so...

Would anyone be alright with this guy?

Well CDD is really putting the Cream in Cream and Crimson up to this point.

Just checking in. Have a handful of the top portal players agreed to sign with IU for much less NIL because of the programs success 20+ years ago yet? If not can someone twitter them and tell them to come read this thread so that they can realize that IU is a blue blood program and much bigger deal than those programs that have been successful the last few decades and that BTB fans are not at all delusional, demanding, bipolar fans ?

Yeah, but my guy is telling me the $5M number is tied to extra performances in offseason Saturday night hoedowns in this jug band. The fans really love seeing one of their own hill people succeed every chance they can.

Mike Woodson approves.

When did anyone say he wasn't a good coach?

#2 isn't necessary if you have #3. Would anyone be that sad to see Bryson Tucker leave? Would you want him around a second season if he is unhappy? I would like to see some NIL attached to retention. Like 60% paid in season and a lump 40% if you are the next season roster.

That should put to rest any of those posts about how Woodson should be revered for his playing days despite his failures as a HC. He is nothing more than a petty charlatan of a coach that schemed with Buckner to fleece his alma mater and doesn't give two sh*ts about the success of the program moving forward. I would put big money on a wager that his desire is for the next coach to fail miserably.

Well there are one or two that could.

The ballooning NIL seems unsustainable. Huge salaries of NBA players are repaid in owner revenues. A large portion of NIL comes from donors that receive nothing but some grovelling and good seats for the games. How long will the Gabe Cupps of the world command $1M? The shiny new toy syndrome will eventually wear off with any team if the donors pump in huge cash and end up with Mike Woodson type results for any length of time.

So how does that work? Do you just believe the rumors that fit your narrative and disregard the others?

Drinks with Ballo?

Some of the comments out there are insane This confirms Tucker faked injury, DeVries threw games, the inbound plays where bad, offense non-existent, and Colorado wasn’t as goood as Small So he threw games and still ended up 19-13, sounds great! And Tucker DeVries underwent shoulder surgery for a fake injury so his dad could take another job that he was the backup plan for. They all be drinking cases of this in WV.

And while DeVries is follicly challenged, we don't risk a potential Lou Doo.

Just remember, this came from people you will never meet and in no way affect your actual life. You wouldn't care if you told a random guy something while waiting on a n oil change at the Jiffy Lube and he called you a liar. Take no stock in the praise or critiques from faceless characters on a monitor.

He capitalizes the V, why wouldn't you?

Until official updated please accept my version:

I'm betting it is no less likely for certain BTBers to freak out when he "misses" on their perceived must get target.

Let's hope Stevens regrets his second last second about face for a good 15 years this time.

Do you CDeez,....nuts?
