And something tells me we won't have to wait very long to be playing high level basketball :)

It's DARE-en

Asking Chris or whoever it may be to name drop their source is ridiculous. All those insiders you listed don't drop names for their sources...and nor would they.

From many accounts Chester Frazier (Devries' associate HC at WVU) is a good coach and hear he's a candidate for WVU...Would be ironic to see him on the IU sideline given the history if he joined the new Staff. Ha!

Just my opinion but I'd be surprised if there are any holdovers from the prior Staff.

I feel like we're finally going to have a good shooting team!! it's been way too long

Great press conference. No disrespect to Woody, but man this was such a stark difference between Woodson's and Coach DeVries' introductory press conference. Just a breath of fresh air listening to that.

Guys, we got ourselves a solid coach. He's going to win a lot of games...and FINALLY, we seem to have someone normal LOL. Also, I wouldn't object to CDD cleaning house. Maybe keep Goode, Rice and Mgbako (if he can teach him how to play defense)...other than that, lets get some players that know how to WIN!

We’re going to be happy with this hire. DeVries seems solid all the way around. DROCK

“UNIVERSITY OF INDIANA” seems synonymous with Woodson’s culture

Welcome Coach DeVries!

Thamel is the dude from ESPN...if it's not DeVries then this is crazy....

Except we got a guy from a Power Conference :)

Very solid hire and better than McCollum. He comes with Power5 experience and can work the portal very well.

Devries is not the grand slam hire we were wishing but he is a solid coach and I will support him. I also have faith that he will put together a tremendous team next year and have us contending again...oh, and did I mention his son is a Stud!! He would've won well over 20 games this past season if his best players didn't miss substantial time. He still turned WVU around substantially -- they only won 9 games the year before. He also did it with less resources than Indiana...Oh and he beat teams like Gonzaga, Kansas and Arizona (who embarrassed us). I'm excited to see what he can do. If Indiana isn't willing to go after anyone with baggage (which admittedly, I wish they would), then this is, in my opinion, about the best hire we can make outside of Brad...Jay Wright was never happening. I think DeVries will do a very good job. We will build a team around an All Conference type player in Tucker Devries.

Actually, I see he’s a senior…so I might be wrong. We still have Tucker DeVries…and Jayden Stone is very good if he decides to transfer

Javon Small plus Tucker DeVries is the foundation of a Top 25 team.

Javon Small is a Stud too!

Powell + Tucker Devries is an excellent foundation to make big noise next year if Devries is the coach. He also has a top 20 frosh class.

mannn...that's a huge loss (sarcasm). Sorry, I know that's mean.

So its either us or WVU.

Amazing to me that people would rather have Mccollum over Devries. There's a reason why Devries is the consensus option 1 between the two. He's got high major experience, he can coach, he has proven that he can recruit (top 20 recruiting class coming in), Drake was pitiful before he came and turned them into what they are today, and his son is a bona fide STUD.

FYI - DeVries is much better pick imo than the other recent names we’ve heard. He can coach. Also, he can recruit. Has a top 20 recruiting class…oh and it doesn’t hurt that his son is A STUD!!

Whoa. Alright.

He claimed he got texts from two different people last night that “it’s done.” Curry Hicks was also doing a podcast and essentially said it’s not McCollum or the other names mentioned but either DeVries or the “mystery candidate.”
