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.

Agreed. Stevens>BD

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

Not all the sophomores and Stone and Allen both stayed because they were recruited by him before he took the job and both decommitted and recommitted. Look it up man.

If you pay attention to any kid nowadays I am sure everyone on here will tell you most kids leave when a coach does unless they want to play for that coach. 1 out of 10 actually commit to a school. Even then you still re recruit them and hope they stay. We just lost 2 kids that werent highly recruited cause Crean left. And if they come back I will consider them the new coaches kids cause they are the ones that brought them back. It is his second year usually your team has more than 3 previous players in your top 8 of scoring.

Just got some awesome information from another student surrounding Billy D. And this is a unique source, but one that I think really could mean a lot. Here's the scoop:

My buddy is close with an IU student that has "relations" with a player or two on the team. This student said that according to a player that will remain nameless, Donovan has communicated with players today (not sure if the whole team or not, and not sure if he communicated with them in Bloomington or not), but there has been communication between BD and members of the team. This player also said it has been made pretty clear that all of the guys want Donovan, and that his hiring would prevent a lot of transfers. 

Obviously a different source, but I think it's honestly more credible than these "insiders" with random twitter accounts

Or two..? lol

Def best rumor yet 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,181]

I grew up in Woodburn! I know exactly what you're talking about.

I live along I70 in Illinois in a town named Teutopolis. There are actually quite a few IU fans in our area, but we are a distinct minority. My brother and numerous cousins are also IU fans.

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

Wow lol

To get their personal numbers he would have to be the guy or Glass doesnt give that info out. It is still a stretch guys. I hate seeing the letdown if this doesnt happen.

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!!!!)

 

 

 

I've never known Treesh to have a source but I'll say this. I posted the same thing earlier today because that is what I've heard for nearly a week. Then someone posted a national guy came out sourced saying the same thing. Could that all be a smokescreen, sure. But I'd take what I'm hearing over some random internet guys. Admittedly, I never go to 24/7, as a rule, and only remember one of those guys- and to my knowledge- he was the most wishy-washy, cryptic "insider" I've seen. The other guys I assume are new.

I've been quiet on this subject on the main board because I haven't heard a whole lot on Billy Donovan other than he isn't looking to come back to college. But did hear that there is a push for him among boosters and even some on the BoT. To me, that was pretty much a given. So didn't really feel like I had a lot to add, and what I did was not positive stuff.

I will say this, as of the past day or so...I do think a lot of this talk is coming from one booster, in particular. I'm not going to put his name on here but if you need it, you can PM me. Anyways, this fellow has been making some noise about Billy Donovan in town. Unfortunately for us all, I don't think he carries enough weight

Now again, this booster could be right. I could be caught in the smokescreen and the "he's happy where he's at" PC stuff. I just don't think I am at this point. Cross your fingers this guy is on the money, because I have a good feeling that's the origin of this information.

Exactly what I said but you never know. That is more of a realistic source and something a media member could never get
