I believe Cig stays. I know IU is again making moves behind the scenes to keep it that way. We should expect an announcement by the athletic department before 10/24 of a juiced-up compensation package for Cignetti & staff, in addition to increased NIL and a fundraising platform for stadium enhancements. HOWEVER, I do not know Cig’s stance on the situation nor am I aware of any discussions with Scott that would pour cold water on the swirling rumors. If the Penn State position is still open at the end of next week with no announcement by IU, I will begin to sweat profusely. BTW, I have no recollection of my old screen name, Mujezinovic007 lol. (See above post)

Can’t stand Calipari but I can never not laugh at his intro press conference. Seems fairly familiar at the moment. Plenty of hope knowing Cal took an underperforming Arkansas team to the Sweet 16 that really should still be playing. Need Conwell. Where does he land?!? BTown or a Texas wasteland that will always be second fiddle to football and swimming & diving.

In play until no. Never wavered from that.

Everyone is absolved and who cares other than malice intent. Let’s move on. Stevens was never in play. I said so 2 weeks ago. Let’s not beat a dead horse. Good times ahead.

I have to admit KathyC is turning me on a little bit and I say a little bit just so I don’t get banned

KathyC - can you confirm or elaborate on Iowa’s role early on in this process? IU held leverage throughout and from what I can infer, maintained the upper hand during the entire process.

DeVries “camp” initiated contact whether KathyC can confirm or not. This got the ball rolling…

Lane Kiffin haha. What a class act that guy. He admits to using Jimmy Chestnut. Freshwater is way better.

Oh no I am fully aware. Contextually, I could not relate the vd issues to a story of redemption. If he still needs help in that regard, I can refer him to my Tijuana clinic

Dog fighting then prison. Returned to the NFL, became a motivational speaker and is now a college football coach. He owned his mistakes and earned redemption. Can’t speak to the vd

Unquestionably a top-5 alias. Vick is a great comeback story, so no disrespect by any means here. Many people could learn a thing or two from his story.

I think you guys just like saying the name, Ron Mexico haha Someone even referred to me as Mr. Mexico earlier today. Never in a million years did I think I would garner that level of respect. Can someone refresh my memory as to why we landed Carlyle and not Conwell?

What????? Best news I've gotten since well... IU found a new coach! Thanks and what a week it's been!

Any relation to BehindTheBench? I had a similar overreaction when the last Chi-Chi's shut down for good.

Back channel flirting for over a month. The relationship started to bloom early February. BUT I believe DeVries had intentions of leaving for Iowa at that time. Don't think Iowa was not aware of Indiana's interest. He was on the way out regardless. Baker at WVU was either completely oblivious or in denial.

He's likely had very little sleep if any and is operating on pure adrenaline and multiple Bang Energy drinks. I also think he's a bit uncomfortable talking about himself and discussing fluff with the media. He was in his element talking ball.

Can't wait to flaunt a DeVries shirt in Iowa City on 9/27

Love Prez Whitten! Polar opposite to Brand. Let's enjoy this and get this party started!

Typical Archie looking like he's about to shat his pants. Stark contrast from what we've already seen from DeVries

Duly noted and a man of his word I see!

I heard my name called - Ron Mexico at your service haha. Appreciate the shout out! My street cred is at an all-time high.

Not convinced until we get Rabby’s soft bread crumb chatter tidbits with shreds of morsel sprinkle whispers. Announcement could be today, sometime before the tourney or right after the beginning of the tourney and wouldn’t be surprised if it’s tomorrow or during the tourney.
