Welcome Coach Miller

[Capt. Crimson 3,491]

I've gotta be honest. I don't care if this last jet is a coincidence or not. I think it's absolutely hilarious considering the circumstances.

I disagree for one reason. I don't think a coach would want to disrupt his current team's season. If it is Donovan, it would happen after they are done playing.

I think that's true, except for this: Don't you think that if we get past the Final Four and we still haven't named a coach, that it will be so obvious that Donovan is who we are going after, it will be even more of a distraction?

I think if some of us were fairly confident Bennett would recruit at a high level, more would be on board.

I think this is a strong possibility, except there will be a certain number who won't want to play that style of basketball.

Do potential coaches actually visit the campus / facilities of the future employer?   I'm leaning towards no.  Thus rendering the flight tracking useless.  Unless of course you're solely tracking Parker planes?

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Fred Glass having ice cream with Damon Bailey out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

I'm sure your joking but you blew your cover. Bloomington no longer has a Baskin Robbins or any place called "31 Flavors" for Ice Cream. Closest Baskin Robbins is in Indy so unless you are alleging someone ran into Glass there your post is a non-starter credibility wise.

Please tell me you actually understood the reference... haha

I don't think it would be a distraction at all. If they wait on the announcement, it would happen right before the playoffs. If that were the case, OKC could go all out for Donovan and have no regrets. They're losing in the first round so might as well play as hard as you can for the coach

I wander if Tony Bennett would open things up like Ryan did if he had the horses to do so. I think he coaches the way he thinks will give them the best chance to win with current talent in mind.

He seems to be a very angry individual lol

[IUrocker 2,271]

Saw someone post a flight that started in OKC that went to Chicago, down to Bloomington, then off to Florida...haha...I mean what are the chances...heck, it's Donovan who went to sign on the dotted line quick in Btown, then went to Florida to tell family the news and grab some stuff he forgot in the garage at the house he is selling!! We are in business! Lol....it is indeed crazy though to look at those flights and see those exact destinations. Certainly makes it easy to plan out things you hope and want to hear and make sense of. I'm NOT making fun of the people who find these flights, I'm just legitimately amazed at seeing a flight that could match up with what Donovan COULD be doing.

Florida flight wouldn't be related. Vero Beach is 3 hours away from Gainesville.

I just heard the same thing from a friend.  Twin engine Cessna Jet from OKC to Chicago then to Btown.   
fwiw Also heard Billy is in the bag.  30 mil for 5

It would take more than that to get him here. That's what he makes now

He went 3 hours out of his way just to throw us off the trail. My source tells me that's how it works.

Wouldn't be surprised if IU went north of 6m to get him if that's what it took.

[Travis Scott 248]

The only flights halfway worth checking would be those leaving Bloomington as Glass is going to travel to the coach, not vice versa.  Not to mention, with tech the way it is these days they can do the first round of interviews in their jammies. Glass strikes me as a Star Wars with footies type.

We're narrowed down to about 3.6 billion people. If we could get a hair color or something we could knock off a couple billion easily.

 

Everything I am hearing points to Donovan to the point I am starting to get my hopes up. I'm sure all of you are hearing the same stuff but things are leaking from people who give a lot more money to IU than all of us combined. 

I've been down this road before though. I'm tired of the gut punches. I'm tired of being mediocre.

My sources told me he went to the beach to drop Victor Oladipo off for the day.
