Love Huss. He designed McDermott’s offense and clearly ‘gets’ Indiana.

McMillan has no idea what IU entails. He’s a floor coach, not a major program leader at this point.

I'm intrigued by Huss for sure. Having the LaLu background I think would be a big boost.

Curry now talking IU. Thinks Iowa will open, but with terrible NIL. McCollum would go there and deal with bad NIL, Devries will not because WVU NIL is better.

Curry says McCollum’s jump from Drake to IU would be gargantuan for the non-basketball stuff.

Been saying this all day.  Mid Major to Indiana is way to risky.  For a variety of reasons.  2 or 3 xtra million a year plus NIl advantages should allow you to poach a very projectsble P5 candidate.  If you want to be a top 10 program, act like one.

Oh I hadn’t considered that this really IS a cycle where Collins makes some sense with some of the biggest openings.

I don’t really see it with UVA but either Nova or IU make some sense for him IMO

It's funny how possibly hiring Brownell makes getting Collins seem like a good hire in comparison. Maybe that's why Brownell's name is being thrown around, it makes most other hires look good.

I don't disagree I'm just skeptical at this point that the list of P5 candidates who are poachable (for whatever reason) is very long. I guess I'm pessimistic about that compared to the rest of the board. Feels like an up and comer hire is coming to me. 

Would love to be wrong.

Who do you have in mind?

Those who don't like McCollum (understandable perspective at this point in time), how do you feel about Huss or McMillan?

Same. I was really hoping we were not going down the mid major route once again but it appears we are so I guess I'll have to warm up to it.

Curry: Brownell needs multi-year players. Maybe not optimal.

Nothing about Brownell is optimal for the IU job.

Also Rabby replied “it’s just incase there were to be a hire”

to which ap replied “I’d be pissed if i canceled my trip to x for nothing”

Rabby “no one had anything planned”

ap”i know some who do”

rab “i know 2”

Rabby approached it really oddly

I'll give any coach a chance even if I'm not thrilled about the hire with one exception. If Facial Hair is hired I'll no longer be a fan. There are a few names that is think would make it clear that IU is fine with being mediocre, though.

Most of the top coaches have had some kind of problems in the past. We are not beyond hiring any of these. Bye

So he asked about the rumor, Rabby warned him but also confirmed it but said it’s just in case, and then they both agreed they know people who had a spring break vacation planned? Lol

[Hoosierfan2017]

This coaching search and the past eight years generally have beaten me so far into submission that I hear Chris Collins may be on the move and I immediately hope that it’s to IU. 

[IUHAHN81]

I'm counting on Scott to shock the world. I'm keeping the faith he knows the importance of this hire.

Odd way for a "journalist" or whatever he calls himself to treat subscribers. 

Rabby is just like if some poster here had a press pass and charged people a monthly fee to read his vague ramblings lol
