Welcome Coach Miller

[Jeff_Boy_Ardee]

What concerns me how much of this Florida roster was Donovan's?

That's a valid question. And I didn't really follow much until recently obviously. I will note that Donovan's last year there (14-15) they finished 16-17 and 8-10 in SEC.

Dear god, just don't hire any of these: Holtman, Mack, Collins, Archie, Fife, Cronin, Drew..

[Hoosier Guy]

The national media doesn't know a damn thing

[HoosierTrav]

Sorry Treesh but something isn't adding up. Multiple insiders, who have a history of being well sourced, confirm that there have been multiple meetings between IU and Donovan (his camp). If he has absolutely zero interest in coaching college again, then why would you entertain back channel feelers, let alone allow the school to waste energy and resources on furthering negotiations. Sorry I'm just trying to deduce this down to where it makes sense. As far as I see it, there are two possibilities with these rumors.

 

1.) multiple sources, who have been right multiple times in the past, have all of a sudden gotten identical yet bad info.

 

2.) Treesh's source isn't really a source and national media is being fed typical coach speak.

 

I honestly think Billy Donovan will be the next coach. I believe all this craziness is just a ploy to misdirect everyone from knowing the truth. Way too much smoke to not have fire.

 

As far as I see it, we have 2 real options, based off of what info we've been given. 1.) Donovan 2.) Alford (dear god NOOOO!!!!)

The Fresh and Sophs on that team are now the Junior and Seniors leading this team.

Would be excited about either one of those hires (I know I'm in the minority), but I sure as hell hope it is Donovan. Marshall would be good too I think if that somehow happened. Everyone else would frankly piss me off.

Yeah everybody got fed incorrect info right before the firing. Could be we are seeing that again. 

Thurs would be a good day to announce. Give thunder a few days to respond.

Gotta think it's gonna be Donovan or Alford. No one else has the track record (BD) or the lineage (Alford).

After Stevens and Donovan, I'm fully aboard the Mike White bandwagon. Everything I've heard about him is that many expect him to be one of the next coaching stars, he's got good defensive teams, and I love his sideline demeanor. I hate to throw this out there, but I feel like he's got that Brad Stevens cool, calm and confidence in him.

First time someone told me I have a great mind. Lol. Thanks

Sorry man but those same kids didnt finish .500 and Hill looked horrible under BD. 8 of their players are Mike White kids. Hayes, Ebgunu, Leon, Barry, Allen, Stone & Gak have all been big parts in their success. D Rob and Chiozza are the only true impact guys he has from BD's time. Hill has been good leadership wise.

A lot of those guys were on BDs team. Thus his guys

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

Justin Leon was a juco kid so that is why he is a senior if your wondering why I mentioned him. He brought him over as a recruit from his last stop.

If we were fortunate enough to land Donovan, that'd be a great get for us, and we'd all be tickled shitless, but let's face it, if Glass were to trot out Stevens, the roof would blow off this state.

No they werent lol. I promise you they weren't. Allen recruit, Leon juco, ebgunu transfer, barry grad transfer, Hayes recruit, Gak recruit, Stone recruit, Eric Hester recruit. All came after Mike White was announced. Kasey Hill, Devin Robinson and Chris Chiozza were pretty much it that is left from Billy D.

So the core of the upper class leadership and the sophomores he recruited. That's nothing at all.
