You know I wouldn't be surprised if we hired Groce. Seems like a Glass hire

That story I told is 100% true. Either Groce is gonna happen....or my mother is just as much of a smartass as me...or the assistants positions are starting to slip out. Holy crap!

Hire Billy! That would be outstanding

Pretty easy to say when you aren't the one cutting the check! Lol

If IU would like to swap resources with me I will gladly cut that check.

I don't understand why people don't have Gregg Marshall rated higher. If you want to win big and win big right away - Marshall would be a great hire. His Wichita State teams have been ranked in the top 20 by KenPom six years in a row and are preseason top 5 for next year. He has managed to do this at Wichita State - one would think he would absolutely tear it up and IU. 

The only thing I can come up with is that people don't like his personality. I can understand that position, but I really don't care how nice of a guy our coach is if we are hanging banners. Also, the administration may not see it this way, but I see his smoking hot, jersey wearing wife as a "double check plus (in the words of Fred Glass)".

His personality and him playing in a division 2conference is a no no.

Plus he's Crean 2.0

I just had contact with my most reliable source today out of the blue.
My mother texted me "I just heard that John Groce is going to IU"
Perspective here:  She told me that Illinois would hire him about 6 hours before anybody else reported it.  I didn't care enough about him or Illinois to share it.  She knew because she works with his sister.  She still does.
Holy crap.  Hopefully she will become only 50% reliable, because so far she's 100%.  Maybe she means as an assistant to Billy D?  Give this theory a bit to debunk itself...because right now I believe we're getting Groce...

Hey he would be a GREAT assistant to Billy. He's a fantastic recruiter.

Clearly you don't understand KenPom rankings.

We need to have a trolling hour on here one night.

Everyone is allowed to post their best "rumors".

Creates laughs and boosts the pages (we need 1,000!)

I question his ability to recruit big 10 basketball players.

We'll have an entire day of it if this drags out another 9 days.

I think we have plenty of trolling rumors already.

I don't understand this argument either. What suggests he can not recruit versus some of the other candidates that are not in big conferences? He's had as much success or more than all other of those mentioned not named Stevens or Donovan. Do you think Bob Knight or Coach K we're bringing in top 20 recruiting classes at Army?

[biteoftheapple]

Put Groce in that conference and I bet he wins big.
