There have been a couple other names floating around today

Thats fair!

I am reasonably confident as to the veracity of the source, but it’s second hand and clearly anything is possible.

I think a "home run" hire doesn't necessarily = Stevens. It could be the unknown out of left field guy (BD) or simply a big name still coaching (or not). The smoke seems to indicate someone has been signed or agreed to. Regardless, I think a home run hire means it's a crowd pleaser.

Of the currently coaching or non-coaching variety?

You hearing Drew or McDermott?

Thank you. Was never, ever likely.
That said, I have supreme confidence in Dolson.
Lloyd, Few, or McDermott wouldn’t surprise me. After that give me Will Wade or McCollum over someone like Cronin. 

So wait...no offense to Stu but what makes his info "more right"?

The way he delivered it

No one here wants Brownell. 

I joke about it, but it’s realistic, although Clemson will give him a fat check in a couple  of weeks

So not necessarily 'definitive', as you said.

Anyway, it is a little interesting that posters who are our 'insiders' didn't mention Stevens by name, just general happiness.  Chris' words about it being a home run or grand slam (whichever you consider it) leaves it open to it being a big hire that isn't necessarily Stevens.  And there are names that are currently college coaches and some that are not that all fit that category.

Yeah. Using actual comprehensible language, attached with a nod to the source instead of a purposefully vague .jpg, .gif, or :):):)

Don’t get why Drew would dump 20 years at Baylor to make a lateral move at this point?

[MemphisHoosier 2,290]

It's not too late for Dolson to do the funniest thing...

Hi all - it’s Brownell. You’re welcome. 
 

Good luck to all. 

Wow; Brownell swoops in to take the job from Turgeon at the 11th hour. The ups and downs of this search!

So Turgeon was eliminated?? Shocking.

Theoretically speaking, let’s say RTZ, Chris, AP, GP and BTB are all wrong….if brads name was never out there and he didn’t exist, we would all be happy with a McCollum or Drew or Otz, etc wouldn’t we? So if it’s not Brad, let’s not let the disappointment of it not being him ruin our excitement if it’s one of the above.

A lot of people would not be happy with McCollum. Refer back to Goodman’s tweet about McCollum. For the most part, it wasn’t a positive reaction. He’s a “so-so” hire to a lot of us for reasons already addressed relentlessly so no point of rehashing .

I’m mad. Already made “It’s Turgeon Time” shirts.

You sent a gif this morning with white smoke, which is generally accepted to be an indication that the pope has been chosen.

so it would just seem a little backwards to say that you’re hearing other names now?

Haven’t heard Thad Matta brought up- thoughts? Too old? Health? Once upon a time he was legit and he recently had a relationship with IU as a consultant or basketball ops right?
