My aunt Judy said on Facebook all kids today are soft

Aunt Judy is wrong.

McCollum is a great listen.
Dude is a winner. Equal parts confident about being a winner and humble enough to know he’s only as good as “who he surrounds himself with”. 

Yep. He gives good answers. He definitely has a plan.

[Jeff Flabjohns]

He’s saying he’s used to having teams where everyone can shoot the three, doesn’t have that this year and has been forced to adapt the gameplans

Trying to reconcile Jerry saying no one knows + saying the lid will be lifted later this week (which insinuates we’ll know and they’re not currently coaching) with GP now knowing and it’s bad.  
 

Collins?

Maybe Dolson thinks Collin’s is a genius since the guy he hired & gave an extension to couldn’t beat him…

Anyone know if those flights landed?

Also mentioned not having a very athletic team and having to adjust the game for chances to win.

A guy who can adapt to the different strength of a roster, imagine that

McCollum on Dakich show now, saying “we don’t like getting kids who are moody, or soft…I don’t like to call kids soft, but who are soft. Ones who lack toughness. Those are the types of kids who will get you out our program real quick.” 
 

I like the sound of that. If we end up needing to go with him, it’s those types of comments that’ll get me on board in a hurry. 

Did anyone catch Pearl’s post game interview where he said our guards aren’t pu**ies live on ESPN? I don’t care that he’s on the older side I would take him in a heartbeat. 

[Jeff Flabjohns]

He cites Dusty as someone he respects in the field, as one of the “good guys”.

Pain. 

[TadQueasy]

Listen to McCollum and if you think he is even close to Brownell then you need your head examined.  If he is our fall back position then we are in a way better position than with Brownell.

Only a few minutes in, but listening to Mccollum talk is impressive. He has a vision for the types of players he wants and mental toughness. 360 from the King. 

He also seems like a normal/likeable guy. 

I am pretty sure a 360 would put you right back where you were before.

I think it’d be on the news if they didn’t go as planned, haha

Of course credible info comes from posters! I’ve seen Chris and Jerry share plenty of things before they’re publicly known. Maybe AP too… I don’t think anybody is right 100% and I don’t think anybody except for a very small number of people around Dolson and the next coach actually KNOW for a fact though what the decision is. The way this search has been buttoned up, I don’t doubt posters are hearing stuff from legit people… just taking everything with a healthy grain of salt.

Not referring to you specifically, but some on here call everything delusional that comes from people that share what they hear. Posters act like those that share are just lying for their own egos. I'm just glad that Stuhoo shared what he shared so that people see that others DO have information that is credible that hasn't been shared by the media.

I don’t think anyone here is lying.  I think people are playing the telephone game & are taking indications the search is going well from people that really don’t know anything & running with it.  Don’t blame them for sharing, but some(by no means all)are misrepresenting their level of certainty…

I understand if folks are skeptical of the anon rumors on this board or elsewhere.   That's fair.  I am, though I enjoy hoping they're right when they talk up the big hires.

There is a group that is skeptical of the positive rumors (again, fair enough), but then some of them turn around and create quite the negative narrative out of thin air themselves.  It's a free board, so people can do whatever they want, I just don't think we know enough to get negative either.

Waiting stinks, but as of now it's hard to get very positive or very negative.  That's just my view, people may disagree that's cool.

Nature abhors a vacuum... when there's a lack of information, people tend to fill the void with whatever they can glean from hints, hearsay and rumors... and when our recent (past 10-12 years) hires are as underwhelming as they have been, the expectations tend to trend negative... the "we can't have nice things" meme grows legs and we spin...

This is where we need a dose of positivity and hope. Keep the faith!

Feel like it would be all over the news if they didn't.

Ben to Iowa, Brownell not a serious candidate for Indiana. That's how I see it.
