mdn82 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 CCG can vouch for what I said. Mile looked for information all around on recruiting. He contacted a lot of various fan boards for info. I have no doubt he knows people as he is an alum. This whole sourced thing is way overblown. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Stuhoo, Tom White, IUsafety and 2 others 5 Quote

mdn82 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 OkHonestly he is a good dude. I think he got caught up in this one though. In the 10 years I have known him (mostly from Scout and then HSN as a fellow mod) people would send him messages. He got a chub once from DD calling him out on the radio. That isn't a guy that knows all of these people. Osterman was on that board for a bit. Hutch did a couple of things. But not Bozich. Ken wasn't even a fan of Alex and never spoke of Rick. Plus wouldn't Rick be covering U.K. in the Tournament much like Hutch was covering Butler? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 The problem though if you look at Mike White's whole career on Wikipedia , he is a southern boy and seems to enjoy staying down thereSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BtownBanners mobile appListen everyone on here knows I really like Mike White and I follow UF basketball almost half as much as IU and that is saying a lot. Mike White is NOT leaving UF for anything other than the NBA or Duke. When he started out his dad had big time college teams ready to offer him an assistant spot because of daddy. Mike turned them down and wanted his own path. Even went as far as saying I will make it and once I do I dont want my daddy helping me being a barrier for people to use. He loves Florida and looks at it in the same light as pretty much any program because of the success Billy D was able to have there. It was a stretch to think he would have came here seriously. I listened to quite a few podcast once the SEC tourney started and once the tourney got underway. Guys down there expect Florida to give him an extension after this year and it is looking like it will be very big numbers. Guys said he was even willing to put a clause in the contract that he didnt leave unless it was Duke or NBA to make his buyout higher if they do go the extension route which looks 100% likely. I have no doubt in 5 years he will be one of the best coaches and people are gonna say we should have gotten him but I dont believe he was going anywhere. We could have thrown 5 mill at him and got him probably but that is taking a huge risk. Even I know he could flame out. Doubt it happens but he doesnt have the track record yet to know for a fact he wont. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
reconmkd Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Though I will support and give Miller a chance, this hire seems like a major let down after that sunshine pumping 2 sided lawyer speech that we got the other day. Miller has potential but that's not exactly what FC said they were looking for! Let's refrain judgement of our new coach and give him some time to show us this was a good decision.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Josh and Trish 2 Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 For anyone questioning the state of the IU job because of us hiring Miller and not a bigger name, I have to ask if any of the other top college jobs opened up right now (UNC, KU, UK, Louisville, UCLA) and none of them could pull Donovan or Stevens, what would their coaching candidates look like? (save Duke because of Collins). I don't see Few ever leaving Gonzaga, and going forward I don't see that much of a dropoff between Archie and Marshall, S. Miller or Mack. Good post. I agreeSent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk Quote
