I'm not insider, but FWIW multiple people who I believe are credible have said that the "mystery candidate" is very much on the table, if not the outright leader. This lines up with Osterman's tweet which more or less threw cold water on the DeVries chatter. At this juncture it seems to be between "mystery candidate" and Ben McCollum. And many people have said an announcement is forthcoming, within the next 24 hours perhaps. Which would rule out a coach currently in the tournament. This is just me reading the tea leaves based on info provided by people more plugged in than myself. I do not claim to be an insider.

Fair enough, but it follows that he doesn't know the name. Nobody does.

Hang on you forgot Dan Dakich!

@IUFB on Peegs says it's gonna be the mystery candidate -- not Brad Stevens.

Turns out he was the real white whale all along

People saying HoosiersConnect doesn't know anything crack me up. This is IU's primary NIL collective that works directly with Dolson. He can't pitch the job to a coach without being able to guarantee a substantial NIL pool. They likely don't know who the coach is, but I'll bet they know more than we do. Them tweeting that this is all smoke lines up perfectly with what Osterman, Dolson's mouthpiece, tweeted a little while ago.

Their relative silence feels like a sign of some sort...

That's when I'll actually start panicking lol

He may not be the big name "home run" hire folks wanted, but there's two things I'd love about that hire: 1) He's a damn good ball coach 2) We'd be stealing him from Iowa

You're blackpilling? It's coaching search season and you're blackpilling!?

Alright everyone, quote this comment with your pick for the "mystery candidate," whichever post gets the most votes is our new coach! lol

Where did IUFB say this? I've not seen anything from him today.

get this woke nonsense off my board! /s

If Osterman's tweet proves correct and then we end up with a Brad Stevens-tier coach, we need to put that tweet in the BTB hall of fame

I wouldn't count out anyone but Brownell at this point. This is such a wild search. I'm having a blast.

I may have just taken a longing glance at my home bar...

I'm confused. Did you miss the Osterman tweet? lol

*Sigh* alright fire up the Brad memes again boys...

To add some context: Osterman is Dolson's guy. If Osterman is saying this, it's coming directly from the AD. I think we can be confident DeVries is out.

Rabby doesn't often get things wrong, he just doesn't always have the best info. He also filters what he hears pretty strictly, because he's mentioned more than once that a booster source has been telling him all along that it's Brad Stevens and he doesn't believe it. That same source could be someone who is feeding one of our insiders the same info. Some people prefer to hear every rumor. Some people only want to hear what can be verified. Problem is, sometimes the rumors are true, and taking the time to verify can mean you're late and miss the scoop.

Does it matter?

I'm not anti-DeVries by any means, but something that doesn't add up is the seemingly credible reports from guys like Curry Hicks and Rabjohns saying that reliable sources are telling them "it's done." So supposedly we signed our guy yesterday, but as of today there are folks at WVU and Iowa who think he's still in play for them? It's just hard to know what to believe. I'm not discounting anything anyone's saying, just trying to figure out what's real and what's not.

Alright guys how many times does the same tweet need to be posted lol
