Contract details are currently being negotiated. More details to follow as the situation develops. That could be a pretty big account for Iowa basketball lol can’t imagine the state holding that many more people than that SlammySammy 1

I don't know why anyone would turn their nose up at DeVries. Forget the fact that they didn't actually make the tournament this year -- he killed it at Drake and by every right his team should have been in the tournament this year despite not having their best player after their eighth game. For the conference season his second leading scorers was a kid who wasn't in the rotation at Illinois last year, followed by a freshman who was unranked and a guy who was just a so-so player at UIC the year before. That was not a talented P5 team and they went 10-10 in the Big 12. FWIW, the freshman who was unranked ended up being their third leading scorer in conference play -- 6'6" guard Jonathan Powell who lives in Dayton -- averaged 8.6 ppg, bulk three point shooter who shot 35% from three -- stated his intention to enter the portal today.

Riskier maybe BUT also maybe the next coaching legend in the making! He has outstanding creds and all his peers call him a genius. Talk with those coaches. They believe the guy is ready for a big job. I trust em HoosierReb01 1

Unlikely to know if anyone entered today until tomorrow at the earliest and realistically Wednesday. Programs must enter a player in the portal within 2 business days after a player notifies them of their desire to enter. Today would be the earliest anyone could have filed.

Yeah all signs are pointing to Devries being out at WVU no matter what. If I had to bet he goes to Iowa. I don’t think it’s a secret that McCollum is my preferred candidate. I wonder if Devries was our secret third candidate Field of 68 was talking about the other day. VFury, Mopladysman and Home Jersey 3

Absolutely correct although players could make their intentions publicly known before the paperwork is actually filed. westgym and thebigweave 2

First, I haven’t been given “everything,” just a “big wink” in response to the appropriate big wink questions from the big wink contact who makes big wink financial contributions who would not pony up big wink money without first getting his own big wink from a big wink financier that a big wink contract would only be going to a big wink hire. Here you go… The first name of our next coach begins with B. The last name of our next coach does not begin with B. See you all in a few weeks and enjoy the tournament!
