Capt. Crimson Posted March 17, 2025 Posted March 17, 2025 There is no real equivalent to Shams in college basketball so it’s hard to understand his role unless you follow the NBA. He (and before him, a guy named Woj) broke every major NBA story. Like, every single one. NBA fans don’t believe something is true until Shams says it. He’s not like a Goodman type—if Shams says it’s someone, it’s a done deal. If it’s going to be an NBA guy, Shams will be the source. When people wonder why stuff hasn’t leaked from the Celtics side, they’re talking about Shams. (Side note: Woj retired to become the GM at St. Bonaventure, where he’s an alum.) It’s a mix between Trilly and Jon Rothstein. lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hutch89 1

Maybe he and the firm made a list or something, but nothing specific has been done. Nobody has been directly talked to. No contracts drafted. Nothing. While other schools have announced hires, IU is behind. No way Scott keeps it this quiet. He doesn’t have that power vs a big money booster or agent. If it was anyone of any note It would have been announced or at least leaked already. Face it, the new guy has to get started. Today, the entire team will enter the portal. And while it’s not “officially” open, they will be contacted. Renue, Tucker, and the two guards will be gone. The new guy will have a team of zero. Waiting because Mediocre Mike’s feelings will be hurt is a mistake. Waiting to tell the Celtics or whomever is a mistake. We had an opportunity to get a head start and it’s blown. It’s a typical IU cluster farque. Hollywood Mike Miranda, IUHoosierJoe, theriverpilot and 1 other 1 1 2

ceast11 Posted March 17, 2025 Posted March 17, 2025 Osterman basically saying he’s been told a half dozen names. But Dolson’s circle is so small this time around that no one knows. VFury, moyemayhem, Pagoda and 4 others 6 1
Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 17, 2025 Posted March 17, 2025 Seems like Iowa 247 is confident on landing Devries and I’m guessing we will probably land McCollum (Coach of the day in the IU search). Feels like a Brownell type hire or mid major guy. JPCIVOP, skhoosier2, thebigweave and 4 others 7
