First hire in this new era of portal AND NIL. DD seems to be organized and have a vision for how he wants his teams to play on both ends of the court. The next month will be interesting to see how he builds a roster. This isn't going to be like Woody was in the portal and just go grab the highest ranked players. There will be a strategic plan with specific skills and traits targeted. Indiana High School coaches will be drawn to DD and look for in state recruiting over the coming years to improve. Trent Sisley fits perfectly in DD's system which helps in that area too. I do think DD is a similar hire to what Kentucky and Louisville pulled in last year and do expect that DD can have a first year at IU like what Pope and Kelsey had this year.

Does it get any better than Pizza X and Brad Stevens?

Philadelphia? The home of Jay Wright.

Not Christmas morning yet....more like Dec. 21...I'm poking around the basement closet where mom and dad hid our "stuff". Dreaming of finding the Millennium Falcon, but all I'm seeing is an unwrapped Operations Game that looks cool but not what I wanted. In the end....I got the Millennium Falcon...they knew to hide the really cool gift and what I wanted in their best hiding spot. Yeah...that's what I'm hoping this is now.

This one? https://x.com/cj_tessie/status/1901647833872175406

He trusts those agents way too much.

I can't find a link...is there a live stream link?

I wondered if the "let the lid off later in the week" implied after the tournament had started and we were all wondering why no announcement yet, he would come back and give us more hints or details.

It was posted on Peegs too.

This is gonna be the longest week ever!

You underestimate Lucy....she has a big pool cleaning net standing in front of the goal post to try to knock it down.

Lucy better not have tricked us again!

If, and its a big if, he was really a week or two out from taking over a major college basketball program, it sure would make sense for a guy to attend a bunch of conference tournaments to see a wide range of players that may be in the portal soon.

The most notable guy watching a game last night was the huge Missouri fan behind Brad Stevens with what appeared to be a hernia in his pants.

It's just interesting....that of 30 NBA GMs....the one that we are all the most interested in is sitting at the SEC conference tournament in what looks like the cheap seats. Have any other Tweets of NBA GMs sitting at conference tournaments been made this week?
