I’ve been around, just don’t post much.  Was told early on it was Stevens for quite sometime then heard nothing for a long time then today out of the blue I get a message.  I’ve been sending @Chris007 messages throughout the search.  Again I’m not sure this is accurate, but we shall see.

I have not gotten any info like this but who knows.

Then Goodman can tweet that Iowa stole our #1 choice.   :)

Chatter from Iowa people is DeVries

McCollum 

Thanks for sharing all this. Any word on what changed? It’s so strange that so many people consistently had Brad for weeks, only to see it potentially fall apart now.

You keepin' tabs?!

Not hard to notice. 

[IUwins0708 3,108]

I would trust @Chris007 @JerryYeagley23 way more than me. So don’t lose all hope.  Just thought the timing of the message was odd given I hadn’t heard anything for a while

Bet the offense would be fun as hell and he could do better than Luke Walton.  Maybe not quite Chris Collins as x and o’s, but I would pay to see it.  Who doesn’t love a legit 2nd gen coach?

How much does Brad Underwood like money?

Maybe Underwood was the Brad all along...

Ya know part of me thinks if Stevens has to have this much massage and begging to come, f@ck him. Have some dignity. 

Why would you assume this?  No coach is going to be announced until after IU is done playing.  Stevens may very well be a done deal and there is no value to Brad Stevens to have it announced early.  Being mad at Stevens because the announcement doesn't meet your timeline is a little silly.

It was all pro Stevens up until this point, but again I hadn’t heard anything for a while before today. @IU05

Still pro Stevens

There's no basis yet to say McCollum is NOT a good recruiter. 

That’s EXACTLY the problem

….i guess RTZ would be needed to clarify too

Will gladly be wrong!

[LamarCheeks 22,259]

I've seen a lot of wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth over the past few weeks. 

But keep the faith. 

As Andy Dufresne will tell you ...

All the Iowa talk is surrounding DeVries. 

McCollum is their back up

Cig coached at Bama and recruited top level talent.  McCollum will need help with introductions to the Indiana high school scene. I’m a believer in NIL helping a new coach build a roster quickly. I also think there is some talent on the team and coming in next year. 

I agree with this, I also think they have guys they would leave that are 5 or 4 stars because they don't fit! We focus on star ratings, they focus on who fits what they want! That is what winners do!
