he mentioned it his live, you should be able to listen to the whole thing when it ends. He mentioned McCollum smoke potentially being real. I think I heard that he said someone thinks McDermott’s name was popping up.

I think Rabby saw the 2024 Summer Brownell Extension on Clemson’s website and thought it was a recent rumored one.

That’s exactly what it was. 
 

My theory? Rabs just lurks this board because he doesn’t have any contacts. He saw eddy’s post and immediately tweeted it out without verifying…

He definitely doesn't but it's funny nonetheless that he got fooled by that article haha

Couple of thoughts for me: 

1) Someone could really write a book about the last 5-6 weeks of this program when it's all said and done. What a crazy time (Woodson "retirement, team starts to show some life, coaching search, missing the tournament, and eventually an announcement.) I miss Terry Hutchens. He would've been the guy to do so. 

2) This fact pisses me off: Indiana in the last 9 seasons has only made the tournament twice. One of those two times they were In the first 4..

3) Scott Dolson has to get this hire right. This fan base is sick of this. I can't see fans continuing to show this kind of support for mediocre basketball. 

4) If no announcement is made by the start of the tournament, it's somebody in the Field of 68. In fact, I think even by Wednesday. There is literally no reason or benefit to wait around if they currently aren't coaching a team. Need to get things going with the portal next week. So, I think you can cross Collins, Devries, Donovan, Stevens, Turgeon (I kid) if we don't hear anything soon. I give Thursday a slight chance if they want to pull some kind of Jerry Jones stunt and announce it at the start of the games (Purdue plays right away Thursday). 

5) IF it is a coach in the Field of 68, give it 24-48 hours after they are eliminated. If you don't hear anything by then, you can cross them off. Again, need to get things going. 

It's going to be a fun week. I imagine this time next week we will know..unless our coach is in the Sweet 16. 

Agree with all of this and I think it's someone in the field. Only exception I could see is Devries. Darkhorse (left field) for me is McCasland. Most likely is either McCollum or McDermott. Disclaimer: My opinion and I cannot be held responsible for the thoughts in my head.

Drake plays Thursday, could lose.  Friday could be within the week.

I'll add that if Dolson and Whiiten are at f' it time they could hire Wade or Beard. Don't think they're there but who the hell knows at this point? Answer is nobody.

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 now either doesn’t know anything or doesn’t know what’s good for them. Dolson has given very strict orders. Regional media has zero intel on this. Won’t stop them from fishing for clicks. Nothing tomorrow though. Not sure where that started. Carry on. 

This has me pumped man. A few things we can glean from this:

1) Regional media (Bozich, Rabjohns, etc) are locked out; the Brownell smoke is nothing. I think we can also ignore Rabjohns' hot boards

2) "Dolson has given very strict orders" implies that there's been far more going on behind the scenes than any of us know, and it's likely no one outside of a small circle knows who the hire is going to be. But it gives confidence that Dolson knows what he's doing.

3) "I'll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week" seems to imply that we have our guy and an announcement is coming this week; this also indicates our coach is not currently in the tourney.

I have zero reason to doubt @JerryYeagley23. He has stayed silent for nearly a month, which leads me to believe he's following Dolson's "strict orders" rather than posting whatever the latest rumor he hears. I have more confidence than ever that Dolson has made an excellent hire and cannot wait to support our new coach.

Apparently it was a link to the extension Brownell signed last summer.  He probably saw it posted here and didn't realize it.

To #2, hence why my contact settled on a big wink ;) - and has less to lose than others close to the situation.

I mean your "wink" talk clearly eludes to McCollum. Somehow people here have forgotten who the #1 fanboy of McCollum is. I don't mean fanboy to be derogative here, just don't have a better term.
