Welcome Coach Miller

After more closely analyzing the photo, I can indeed confirm Billy Donovan was driving said Kia.

I'm literally crying over here. Showed my wife and she just looked at me like I was a 2 year old excited about tossing his poo across the room..

I talked to a diehard Kentucky fan today at work. His outsider take was: We should go hard at 1) Donovan. 2) Alford 3) Marshall 4) Bennett
 
He said Alford would worry him (talked about UK loss to UCLA this year). Says Donovan would take the CBB world by storm.
 
He thinks Marshall would be another Crean(I don't agree but many think the same thing).
 
He hates Bennett's style and said it would bore him but he respects him.
 
Not a bad list at all.

Might have been the recruit I was most excited about. Bummer.

Does this mean the new coach has talked to him?  It is he just uber loyal to Crean.

I just think Alford carries too much sleaze baggage and he's not going to get the job.  We had sleaze with Sampson and I don't think the Trustees or FG want that in any candidates background.  I don't care if he's an Indiana kid, a Bob Knight kid, etc.  He's tainted because of his own doing.  If he is the hire, I will be bitterly disappointed.

He's driving a Kia? ****, maybe we don't need to pay him all that much. Humble, low-key guy.

Isn't Kia a huge sponsor of the NBA? It's gotta be BD!

Crean is like me with women.  Talks a big game but then can't perform when it counts. ;)  I don't doubt his 2017 recruits really bought into his talk.  Not surprising to me about asking for release.

I think folks are forgetting about Sean Miller, he seems to be the most likely realistic candidate.

The way I see it, if any recruit is the least bit uncertain about coming to IU then good riddance.

Why would he leave Arizona?

No sir. Sean fits the profile of the established coach that Fred Glass was talking about in his press conference.

He just makes the least sense out of anyone else that has been brought up outside of Brad Stevens.

He's already making like 4.5m.  If we're going to pay someone that much money we'd might as well pay up for Donovan.

He makes more than Brad Stevens and he is a 1-3 seed in tourney every year. Recruits top 5 classes all the time.

Would love to have him but hard to see it. Have heard there might be interest due to Midwest roots but I think he has things going too well to jeopardize.

It's not a stretch to see IU offer him 5.5 a year once Arizona's tournament run has ended.
