Good to rehash because I remembered the “offers” but had really forgotten all of the attempted coverup 

He didn’t cooperate with the NCAA because he was being railroaded while guys like Bill Self and Sean Miller got off Scot-free

And then got caught, lied to the school and to the NCAA investigators, hence the show cause, and then barely made any effort at all to appear contrite because he wasn’t. He’s an amoral POS and I don’t want him anywhere near a program I root for because he’s gonna get busted for something else, my guess in the current environment would be something academically related but it won’t shock me if it’s more along the lines of a Steve Alford/Pierre Pierce sort of thing if the player’s good enough. 

When people mention Wade, what immediately comes to mind is how he responded to the allegations against him by a reporter during a postgame press conference. 

Smirks, shrugs it off and says "tell it to the judge".

Dude is the definition of slime. I don't want him anywhere near our program.

Even in the era where everything is legal, he is probably still finding ways to cheat.

Railroaded???????

Coming from a guy who would accept Wade at IU, I have to say calling Wade ‘railroaded’ is waaayyyyy off target.

So if we are down to 4 according to some (excluding Stevens for this conversation, and for some odd reason feel compelled to leave off Turgeon as well…..)  McDermott, Wade, McCollum, and Brownell, what is everyone’s preference here? They all bring something different, so I would be curious on what posters are thinking would be best for IU out of the group I listed. 
 

**I’m not saying it’s actually down to those 4, but after today, just going off of some generalizations.**

1. Wade

2. McDermott 

3. McCollum 

4-366. Anyone but Brownell

367. Brownell

6,856. Turgeon

I agree with order here.  But I suggest that Brownell is too high.  Minimum 667.

Glad to see mccullum is not number one the love was getting over the top.

Good point.  Lets move Brownell down to 998.

Heck ya. I’m pretty new here and have mainly been a Peegs guy to this point.  @IUFB and @ap2345 are my two favorite posters over there.

@Chris007 why’d you say this and then drop the Bargersville rumors today lmao

Several people seem to think it will be then...but not confirmed...

Would be weird to announce a new coach on Monday when the candidates we are hearing about are preparing for a tournament game (and likely IU). 

Unless it is someone currently not coaching…

 

I do think no matter what that Dolson will wait until our season is finished out of respect for the current team and staff. They can wait until the season is done and not take attention away from the guys still playing.

Because he’s a man of the people.
 

Did I contact my Greenwood realtor friend today about this? Yes I did. Did he do any digging on our behalves? No he did not.

More like ex-friend.

Perhaps “made an example of” triggers you less? 

[IvanRenkosillegitimatechild 323]

Not sure if anyone posted this but IF IU actually considered Wade then only the first two bullet points would apply. Stuff his assistants could very easily do. I would totally be down with Wade if he’s Vetted and IU is satisfied with his answers to the hard questions

Only about 1300 posts to catch the FMW thread… we can do this!!!!
