FWIW, because we're talking Devries. He seems like an unknown. He's been really good with his son there, and he was good this year at WVU. I just wonder if there's a ceiling. Would be more comfortable with a guy who's shown more.

Uh oh. Stuhoo and USPS pushing Devries. Is he our guy? Certainly not a homerun hire but I suppose we could do worse.

West Virginia resources aren’t awful. He had a decent year there I suppose. Idk. Don’t love it. He’d have to really work.

Peegs rumor is he met with Iowa today but they can’t promise enough NIL for his liking and he’s starting to look in our direction (I’m summarizing)

He seems to be a lead off double to me. We’re in scoring position with no outs. 
Waaaay off topic but love the baseball reference! Cubs/Dodgers less than 12 hours away to start the season.

I'm with the others. Thank you for your insights. I'm also like most, this needs to be over soon. I'll be 50 in July. I remember the old days of IU basketball and would love to see it again

DeVries would be very exciting to me

Me too.

He is the ultimate “lose the press release/win a truckload of games” hire.

Way more likely to grind and win at IU than almost any.

This is how good he is; he went 10-10 in the B1G 12 without one player that was as well thought of as eight of IU’s top nine players.

No idea if he’s IU’s guy but if he is it’s really good news.

Wonder if Devries is leveraging the job?

I don’t see it , Iowa is likely already limited financially and they can easily pivot to McCollum . They would likely tell him hey we understand best of luck . They know they can’t compete with IU they would call his bluff .

I’ve also said McDermott, McCollum, DeVries, Collins, McCasland, Willams would all kill it and DeVries just happens to be next up.  I’m just a mailman that wants a college basketball coach leading the program and all of these choices can do that
