Nothing against RTZ but when he says done deal and then says deal is dead then comes back with that GIF hard to truly believe anything. I’m normally one who is like ok if someone has sources cool hope they are right but when everyone is saying Dolson is keeping it extremely close to the vest and nothing being leaked about Stevens it’s getting to the point of hard to believe. I’m just honestly ready for it to be over. It really is taking the fun out of March madness.

You sure he said done deal?

How weak are we gonna look as a program with all we have to offer if at the end of all of this we end up hiring Brownell! I'm gonna be honest, that's a laughable situation if it happens. I'll be beyond upset and disappointed to where I just laugh but that's just me. 

To be fair, UK and UofL fans likely thought similar, and who they landed wasn’t near the top of lists, but both did pretty well given the results so far.

I’ll give anyone a shot who comes in. Obviously would be initially more excited by certain hires but I’ll basically given anyone that gets Dolson stamp a chance. I’ll be optimistic until they give me a reason to be otherwise.

Love the ebbs and flows around here. Been intentionally quiet. Be cautious not to take the lead of guys like @Hornsby and @MikeRoberts who have emotional mood swings and when they don't hear what they want, they kick, scream, cry and call people trolls. Or else, when the plan ultimately comes together, you might look a little silly...

Like the optimism but you got @MikeRobertswrong. He is a solid and healthy skeptic on the BS train but that is fine and nothing like you describe.

@BGleasto the curtsey phone 

Seems like a really good hire for Arkansas. Cofield was previously the GM of the Celtics G-League team and played at Penn, so seems like a super smart guy and a strong hire for Arkansas. Not surprised colleges are coming for execs at the Celtics, they're a well run organization. 

Given the small world in these circles I would venture to guess that Cofield probably did speak with Stevens about the role before taking it, but who knows? I'm just guessing there. 

@Jet812 won't like this because he's got this idea in his head that im not an IU fan and just a Celtics fan that only posts anti-Stevens stuff, but yeah I don't think this has anything to do with Stevens or IU.

“It’s always been Brad.” 

All verbatim posts. Same sentiment. Also posted a clip that said “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.” Then claimed it was just supposed to be funny and he posted it when he was drinking lol. Forgive me for thinking his about-face this morning and Undertaker gif reek of trolling. Flat out.

We have a verbal agreement. Still need contract signed. Likely will be signed tmw. That is why not today. I expect tmw to respond with "signed sealed delivered, I'm yours".

 

In case you're curious what the discussion was 1,000 pages ago, we're playing the greatest hits!

That is the private airport that is closest to Stevens' agent/representative firm.

I used to lurk on HSN.  It seemed like every single time he claimed to have inside info he ended up being wrong.  Like every time.

Those are fair comparisons but with the comments from Chris it always seemed that the story was we met his demands. But semantics and i can see the inference to it being done. 
 

I may not understand the trolling idea. I think it is possible in the end JY, Chris ap, and RTZ have inaccurate info but you think they are making stuff up?

It's close to the vest but somehow random internet posters have all the details. Lol.

We are right with you and shows even our massive nil cannot attract anyone good. Well beard but he isn't coming
