This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

This. Looking at the searches for UK/UL last year, my expectations have been kept in check. UK is a blue blood program. If they had to move down their list because the heavy hitters wouldn’t go there, what makes us believe it’s different here?  It’s not different. NIL changes the playing field. You don’t have to go to a blue blood to get great players because they will come with money and coaching regardless. Is this still a desired job? Sure for some. But Pearl, Drew, Few, Oats don’t need to come to IU. They have established programs where they can and are winning.
I hope the white whale rumors are correct and we get the big fish. But I’m preparing myself for a McCollum, Wade, McMillan. I won’t be surprised  given todays college basketball landscape. 

Not only that, but with the way football revenue is flowing in these days for SEC and Big Ten schools, non-traditional basketball programs are receiving a ton of funny money, and they can spend on par with the basketball schools that actually care about being good. There’s a reason why IUBB can’t pry away Nate Oats, and it’s Nick Saban’s success. I’m surprised Georgia hasn’t found its way into the top 10 yet.

Alright, since Brad is over. I’m going cause a whole new crazy @$$ conspiracy.
They’ve said a “coach out of left field”. How bout this……95c33f4922e9bb6ac6183ed0f5d2e17e.jpg

….Bruce is wanting to come to IU. Told Dolson last year he wanted one more year with his squad and a chance for Steven to get a job. Steven then leaves because IU won’t do coach in waiting, so he goes out to grind away and see what he’s got. Daddy Bruce coaches IU until Steven can have a chance to prove himself.

I’ll hang up and listen.



*in no way do I actually believe anything I just said. Just hoping to give someone a laugh.

Long time listener, first time caller. I thought I would jump into the fun for once. Keep an eye on Devries potentially going to Iowa. I watched a BM interview with Andy Katz and he would take much more into consideration when taking a job than it being the hometown team.

If you want McCollum, that’s what you better hope for

I will obviously support whoever the hire is. I would also think if you were a booster and spent millions for a roster for woodson why wouldn't you pony up for the new hire? I see a ton of people are disappointed on social media and that probably won't change until he proves himself. It's a hige risk by dolson to hire a low name candidate with a fanbase who are starving for immediate success. It can work but i question if it will

You just want to find a way to work in the word delivering because you’re a mailman.

I bet you’d change your name if you were an executioner. Then you’d say something else about execution. 

...killed it?

Goodness.  McCollum goes from competing in a Guppy Bowl to the Shark Tank in 1 season.  He will be eaten alive.  We’ve got an Archie Miller part 2 upcoming.  Has no idea what it takes at that level to win and recruit.  F me. 

Think you’re wrong here. Nothing about McCollum says that he is anything like Archie. We’re going to be lucky if we get him.

1st off you all are insane. Never change you crazy bastards. 2nd, if BM is the choice how about instead of looking at what wasn't we look at what is. He would be the best x's and o's coach we've had since Sampson at a minimum and possibly since RMK. Plain and simple he would coach circles around Woody, Archie and Crean. We should be happy we are getting a significant upgrade in that department if in fact he is hired.

We really haven’t landed “the big fish” in a long time with any level of consistency.  We are not Kentucky, Kansas, or Duke and haven’t really recruited at that level since the early 90s.  EG?  Bracey? DJ White?  Cody?  Noah?  Not a ton of big fish in 30 years. We really need x’s and o’s and wins more than a Calipari.  Especially in this era.  Have no clue who we hire in the end.  Just hope he is a top 10 x and o guy with a better personality than Archie. 

I would say we need a guy who does it all, not one or the other. I know that might be stating the obvious, but I think we've lacked a "complete" coach. Coaching acumen + personality and culture setter who grinds.
