A quick jab would probably work best on a throat shot, jmo.

I do.

CDD is waiting patiently for some big dawgs to enter the portal. If we're gonna spend 10-12 milli on a roster, it isn't going to be a roster full of blue collar former WVU and Drake players. I'm sure CDD has a plan and I can't wait to see how it unfolds..

Awesome to hear someone that well respected and connected actually mention Brad Stevens as a possibility. I was thinking all the BS talk was just some crazy Q'anon level conspiracy theory **** lol. Maybe there is a slight chance.

I don't know, I've heard Ashton Kutcher is ready to dish out some major cash for DeVries if needed..

"Or doesn't know what's good for them" ? That sounds like some straight up mafia sh*t..and I love it!

Hoping for a HUGE announcement in the next couple of weeks but my gut tells me that a huge fart noise is being cued up. Hope I'm wrong lol.

Hoping for McCollum. If that doesn't work out I hope we throw a fairly ridiculous bag o money at Pat Kelsey.

Fran McCaffery looks like the mom's creepy boyfriend in that old vampire movie "Lost Boys". Off topic I know, sorry. Just had to get it off my chest quickly..

Thanks for the update!

Just checking in quick from work. Any bangers today so far? Thanks

I really don't put much weight into podcast rumors. If he's on Dolsen's list, I'll trust that he will make the right decision after interviewing him. As far as Bucky, I agree somewhat. There are probably a couple others I should have put in front of him, I'm just a little tired and didn't feel like thinking too much on it right now lol. Go Hoosiers either way.

Here's where my head is currently at, as far as semi realistic options that I'd really be behind.: 1. McCollum- I have a feeling we'd regret not hiring him. By all accounts he is a basketball wizard, young enough, and he just wins ( Google him).. The next Bruce Pearl 2. Pat Kelsey- Another young guy that I think would light a spark with the fan base, students, and players immediately. By all accounts he knows ball and how to win. Not sure he'd leave UL but I'd hope we'd go all out and have a chance. 3. Todd Golden- What he has done at Florida is VERY impressive. He would do amazing at IU. 4. Bucky McMillan- Bucky Ball. IYKYK. Would be fun as hell. Obviously by looking at my list I would like a young winner that understands today's game and could be with us for a long time. I want someone that builds their own legacy with us. Our guy...I'd choose that over realistic,solid options that we already have watched coach P5 teams (Buzz Williams, Mick Cronin, Chris Beard, McDermott, etc.)- We all know what we're getting with those guys, which is a solid coach. I'd rather gamble for greatness, jmo.

Not quite as excessive as 12 wins by 4pts or less. With just average luck I think Michigan would have lost at least 3 more games imo, and they would have the exact record that we do. I do admit with average luck Drake would have lost two of those close ones, making them 28-5....Tough to explain my thinking. I could explain better in person over some drinks lol.

I'm not totally sold on Dusty May. 12 of their 22 wins have been by 4 points or less. I call that luck. He's a few bad calls or unlucky bounces from being Mike Woodson at this point imo. That could change of course.
