JSHoosier Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Not surprisingly HTD on 247 is full aboard the Alford train. I picture someone chasing that guy around trying to get him to take medication when he isn't posting his drivel. Defenserocks28 and BGleas 2 Quote

goonaha Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Hopefully Kelsey backing out of UMASS isn't Mack going to IU but rather Kelsey being in the frame for the Georgetown job that just opened up. Or maybe he just truly had a change of heart and doesn't want to go to UMASS. Quote
cljones1979 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 If I'm Fred... I'm giving Billy D $8M-$10M a year. Make that offer to Stevens also. Although I'm sure he doesn't take it. Glass knows he has to get it right and big time. I can't see Donovan turning that downSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appI would go 8 tops. That would make him highest paid college coachSent from my SM-G935V using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

513HoosierJS Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I would be happy with Mack. Great at recruiting Indiana, constantly makes the tournament and this is his 4th Sweet 16. Now give him the resources that IU has and I think he gives us a chance at another banner. ALASKA HOOSIER, Dalton26 and MoyeNeeded 3 Quote
biteoftheapple Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I dont want Mack, or think Glass would consider such a lateral move. AKHoosier, Tom White, lillurk and 2 others 5 Quote
JSHoosier Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Apparently Snow said he thinks the administration expected people to be more positive about the possibility of Alford, and that he thinks many of them feel Alford has grown and is more humble than he used to be. I have a really bad feeling they're going to screw around and hire Alford. Hoosier Roots and Defenserocks28 2 Quote

Shoes_N_Shorts Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 It seems pretty obvious that they are at the very least going to talk to Alford. That won't happen until UCLA is out, so I wouldn't expect an announcement of any kind- Alford or otherwise- until after that. Unless, of course, you believe in the Donovan interest (I don't). Quote

Bowhunter Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I am going to post a topic to discuss and get our mind off rumors for a min..... I just started thinking about recruiting and Steve Alford and having an "IU guy" While I am not on the Steve Alford bandwagon and not sure I ever will be, I agree with those who say we need to "lock up the state" or "put up a fence around the state" Can a non-IU coach accomplish this? Can Steve Alford accomplish this? Just for craps and giggles let's look at what our team possibly could have looked like the past 9 years and going forward if we were able to "lock up the state" Below are the top few recruits according to ESPN as well as that years' Indiana Mr. Basketball in bold. (please don't hold it against some of these guys that chose to play at PUke or pUKe) 2008 – Tyler Zeller, Miles Plumlee 2009 – Mason Plumlee, DJ Byrd, Jodan Hulls 2010 – Deshaun Thomas, Justin Martin 2011 – Marquis Teague, Cody Zeller, Branden Dawson, Marshall Plumlee 2012 – Gary Harris, Glenn Robinson, Yogi Ferrell, Mitch McGary, D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Kellen Dunham, AJ Hammons 2013 – Zak Irvin, Demetrius Jackson, VJ Beachem 2014 – Trey Lyles, James Blackmon, Jaquan Lyle, Trevon Bluiett, Bryant McIntosh 2015 – Caleb Swanigan, Jalen Coleman 2016 – Kyle Guy, Joey Brunk, CJ Walker 2017 – Kris Wilkes, Jaren Jackson, Paul Scruggs, Malik Williams Take almost any combination of these recruits and imagine what kind of success we could have had. *I am posting this in this forum because it is a popular forum and coaching decision is directly related to recruiting. Been saying this for yearsSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Uwe Robb and Happydaze 2 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Yeah, I think Glass was thinking Alford all along. Now we hire the search firm because of the Alford response. Good lord. Mack is not an exciting hire whatsoever. I'd rather go with Holtman if it gets to that point. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Defenserocks28, Bowhunter, Tom White and 3 others 6 Quote

Tom White Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Why would we talk to him, hes not the elite hire that Glass talked about Because Glass said any IU guys would at least get a hearing out. Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I think the Mack talk is a joke to be frank. He is from Cincinnati he is a Xavier alum as well. If they give him a pay raise he is staying. He would use us to get that if anything in my book. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Tom White and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote

513HoosierJS Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 The ups and downs of this board are crazy. First everyone is certain we are getting Billy D and now the consensus is we have been turned down by all top candidates and have to "settle" on Mack. This is such a wild ride. thebigweave, Tom White and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote
