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.

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 Tom White, Bgrimm4, CR3AMnCR1MS0N 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 WayneFleekHoosier and Tom White 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.

Popular Post WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 23, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 23, 2017 This hire is a true measuring stick of where we stand as a program, etc. We are willing to pay TOP benefits. If we land a second fiddle guy that will tell us everything. FWIW I still expect a big name somehow. Not Fife or Mack. If not it'll be a very sad day in IUBB nation.

coonhounds Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 That "screenshot" of a text by BTownInsider on the other board just killed off his credibility in my eyes. Anyone can fake that very easily, no way that's real. I'd love to believe him, but I just can't anymore. Total fake.I shared it cause i thought it was funny. He is all in on billy donovan so all he is doing is building his mystique if billy comes he looks awesome if he dont he looks like a clown. I doubt iu knows who they are going to get at this point imo. I bet billy is high on list and if he wants the job it is hisSent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile app AKHoosier 1 Quote
