Peegs: Darian DeVries is the No. 1 option for Iowa. Rumors say he is worried about Iowa's NIL, but if they make a commitment to that, DeVries will be the next Iowa coach.

If they can't get DeVries, they will immediately put the full-court press on McCollum.

Should we be settle with hiring Iowa's backup? 

Not trying to be snarky...but I still feel like we can shoot hire than that.

We don't want Brownell or Iowa's leftovers, aka McCollum!

What question haven’t I answered? I don’t post everything I know, but I haven’t dodged any questions.

Many of us would be happy with McCollum coming to IU.

I wish I could "heart" this a thousand times. Why feed into a condescending troll who just disguises vague / nothing info with ChatGPT lawyer speak??

DeVries gets the nod over McCollum because he is from Iowa and has experience in the P5 at WVU now, along with an impressive stint at Drake too. IMO he is like their TJ Otz this cycle... they want him, maybe mutual interest or maybe a leverage play. They would have to pay ~4.5M for his buyout + 3M or more in salary. Not to mention NIL. I don't think they're willing to spend for that. 

McCollum is as good as Indiana or Iowa can realistically hope to do this cycle. Unfortunately for us, he is from there, so will probably choose to stay home and kick our tail for the next 20 years.

Brad will hold off on telling Boston staff he is leaving until IU is out of tournament. Dolson and brad agreed it's not fair to the current players to make a distraction during the run. As I said earlier day after we are out we will make the announcement the following morning. Brad will also be in person for announcement. My guess is it gets leaked to shams night or early morning and he will release to public assuming dolson doesn't leak it before then. For those who love flight tracking look for flights to the night or very early am after we lose. 

Isaac, I tried to warn you bro! When you said a couple weeks ago that if Osterman didn't tweet news by noon, no one should ever trust you again, then people are going to take that literally.

That's basic trolling 101, my man.

Who are you talking about specifically? 

People who liked him yesterday still like him. People who didn't, aren't upset he's not coming to IU. 

Everyone has been consistent on that as far as I can see.

I realize plenty don’t want to address the truth of what happened, but that’s what happened. And he didn’t forgo anything. 

Because he was fired.

We just need the BTB MVP and All decade team to say the name. Come on Chris, do it for the people.

Does WVU really have more money than Iowa? 

Why? I thought with B1G money, a school like Iowa would have all sorts of advantages over a school like WVU. What am I missing here?

I listened to a football podcast a couple months ago. They were saying Iowa NIL was in shambles. That 1 booster is footing the bill to finish out this year because other boosters didn’t pay what was committed to the players. So 1 guy is making sure people get what they are contractually obligated to get. That’s not a good situation. So yeah WV is in a much better spot.

Anyone but Brownell and McDermott.  Hopefully these are all smokescreens.  They struck out on Brad.  Now float out dumpster fire hires like BB and GM so when they announce McCollum or Otz or whoever we are all elated.

how is it this job opened up 5 minutes ago and Peegs already has inside information on who is ready to take the job if certain demands are met .... yet when it comes to IUBB .... they're like....

Because they are just guessing about Iowa.    It doesn’t really matter if they are wrong.
