Welcome Coach Miller

Wilkes has signed. Dream scenario is UCLA fires Alford and we get Donovan and Wilkes. 

Thank you guys. I wasn't sure

Wilkes didn't sign with UCLA because of Alford, just like Lonzo Ball didn't.

Yeah, despite all the insiders and unnamed sources talking up Billy Donovan to IU, I'm preparing myself to be disappointed.  Although I felt the same way about if Glass would actually fire Crean...so there's that.

There is just too much information that keeps coming up from all over the place. The common theme is Billy Donovan. At the very least, I would think there are some serious talks going on with him. Bennett's name had been floated early and now it seems to have faded away. No other coach is being mentioned besides Alford, and that is primarily due to the media.

1st paragraph of the 2nd result on Google lol.

 

LOS ANGELES – The UCLA basketball program has received a signed National Letter of Intent from Kris Wilkes, a 6-foot-8 guard at North Central High School in Indianapolis, it was announced today by head coach Steve Alford.

More success than Crean and Elite are light years apart. 

Alford is closer to Crean than Elite.

Sounds like a nightmare.

True. But he may be able to recruit him to IU.

You would have to check with Mike Peterson first. He seems to be heavily involved in all the Indy Hoosier AAU players recruitments except for Neese's fwiw.

I was fully convinced Glass would keep him so I've been wrong before.

There will be other recruiting classes, 2017 is not some earth shattering class. If we can land Donovan I don't care if we have zero recruits coming in (obviously that won't happen, announcing he is the coach will have quite a bit of recruiting appeal) plus our team still has talent on it it's not like when Crean inherited it. Donovan can take this team and have some success and then really hit the recruiting trail for next year. One recruiting class should have no input on securing a coach like Donovan. I can't believe that's even an issue being talked about.

Golden State up 19 just before the half at OKC.

Must be depressing for the OKC coach to be THERE, eh?

Or...the OKC coach's heart just isn't in the game tonight.

 

 

[Hoosier Guy 7,518]

I just don't see how some of you thought Crean was gonna be back. There was no justifiable way to bring him back

Nobody else on the list has much of a resume. Except Marshall.

I'd rather have an up and comer like Joltmann or White than a confirmed underachiever like Alford

I like the way you think. OKC sucks but maybe Donovan's heart is somewhere else right now...

Watching. He looks disinterested.  During a TO pretty sure I saw him ask Vic for directions to Nick's.

I've seen a few OKC games during these rumors and he's looked disinterested in all of them.
