Rabby on peegs chat: Just received a couple texts: "It's done." Neither person claimed to know who, but they both said "It's done." If that's true, then it's gonna get real interesting real fast around here. Heavy on the "If that's true."

Sheesh - how many times has this been done? It feels like what I tell my wife when shes asks if some really annoying to-do thing is done yet and I just know I'm gonna get around to it so I say 'yeah it's done' (but then later get busted cuz it's not really done)

Haven't we been hearing that for weeks or even months now?

If we’re announcing before tourney games then to me it’s gotta be (in order of likelihood):

1. Devries (by far)

 

2. Stevens 

3. Donovan (for some hunch reason I think it’s possible)

 

4. Collins 

5. Murray

6. Bennett 

That’s all I got.

Look if Rabby is saying he got txt’s back to back that it’s done it probably is.

Probably Devries. 
I-don’t Hate it

Based on the recent smoke, yea, I could see it

I think it's DeVries for 3 reasons:

1) I'm not entirely sure McCollum wants the IU job and could be perfectly content staying at Drake.  His end game could be the Iowa job knowing Iowa very likely cannot afford DeVries nor meet certain financial demands.  Who knows - maybe it's the IU job he covets.  

2) Personality.  Simply put, I think DeVries is a better fit when you consider everything the job entails.  I do however believe BM is the better coach.  

3) The info leaked a few days ago that suggested BM was a serious candidate for the IU job and Scott was highly impressed or something to that effect.  I initially thought that was agent driven but now I'm not so sure...  I now believe that a certain AD was sending a clear signal to the DeVries camp to sh*t or get off the pot, talk to your Iowa buddies and make a decision or "we'll go all in on BM."  

I also think you could do a role reversal here and use the two names interchangeably on most of what I just said lol  

 

DeVries also has a decent recruiting class coming in

Not saying it is happening but Jay Wright could be a left field name for the list

It won’t be Jay Wright 

[TheWatShot]

Can someone explain why we'd potentially be pursuing DeVries? Is it because Iowa just opened and we're both interested in McCollum?

Much more interesting to talk about young emerging coaches than 24/7 prayer circle for the white whale

All hail the white whale...

If we are? Because we think he’s the best young-ish, yet experienced coach available.

If we have some mystery hall of fame coach locked in? Well hot damn!

Devries is Archie Miller.

McCollum is Bruce Pearl.

Easy choice
