When has IU ever hired a “big fish” when they were hired? Sampson was probably closest, but he was under NCAA sanctions. 

And tons of people were real mad. Real mad. I remember it was cause they thought it was a  Herbert push - that they were buddies was the only reason we hired him.

My concern with a guy like McCullum is lack of experience at the D1 level and can he, or will he, adapt.  He plays an offense that worked great with limited talent and the D2 level, and seems to work at Drake.  Sure, he beat a top team here and there.  But we are talking the daily grind of the Big10.  Can he, will he, upgrade his system to attract and use more talented players he can get at IU?  You need the horses at this level to be consistently good.  

You said it much better than I have tried tonight

So he's going to love Mgbako?

Seriously though, it's sounds like you are describing Matt Painter. I've often thought that Painter's best quality is that he knows exactly what he is looking for in a player, and doesn't care about stars. 

For sure. I made a joke elsewhere about how wild it would be if neither of the major Indiana schools were recruiting a Xavier Booker-type because they were slugging it out over some kid from Mt Vernon. But I’m completely confident that scenario would arise at some point, though IU will always be able to recruit higher end kids than Purdue.

Aren't you always in the laughing columns of every poster that has had something to say about stevens for like the past 4 weeks?

If Kansas or Duke hired McCollum this offseason, would folks laugh at them or be disappointed it wasn’t us? How do you all think he’d do at either of those programs?

Two questions:

1: Who is Jerry? Lot of ppl have referenced him as someone in the know but I haven’t seen a post in the few days I’ve been on. Do we trust him? And who does he think it’s gonna be?

 

2: Yall see theres a flight from Bedford to Teterboro a couple hours after the flight from Btown landed in Bedford. In the infamous words of all our flight trackers, “could be something. Could be nothing.”

Jerry is like god lol

Calipari to Kentucky would be a third.

Just ready for this to be over and to know the decision. The fact that Goobman gets all of us to jump every time he tweets makes me sick. I’m not even sure how I feel about McCollum. To be honest, it makes me nervous, but I would support him. But just imagine our meltdown when he takes the Iowa job haha. The Turge about to dominate headlines in here again.

They lost 69-63 to Duke in 2019 by the way. That's with a different core than the team he is currently winning with.

Do we know anyone that lives out of Huntington and knows Miller Aviation?  They could tell you who is on that Boston flight lol.

It even more likely that this push is from his agent to get Iowa to move quick.  

Or, Goodman just heard that from someone that BM interviewed with IU's search committee and that there was interest from both sides.  

Occam's razor, ya know? 

No cloke and dagger stuff.

When Jerry talks...people listen...before he went silent he said we got our guy...

Iowa also has terrible NIL, which is a huge factor in today's day and age.

It doesn't appear to be or we would be attracking big time coaches not mid major guys.
