& that Dolson is in scramble mode, or considerably down the list…

Key is “if true”

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."

Rabby also got texts this morning way Tucker was entering the portal, we saw what happened then. 
Rabby is done.

Are we pursuing McCollum Mr. Big Wink?

Of course I could be dead wrong, but if we don't hear anything in the next few days, Brad Stevens was pretty much never a candidate. Woodson announcement was out on 2/8, so probably Dolson started his due diligence at least a month before that. My guess is he's been communicated with all viable candidates through the front and the back channels. I would venture to guess Dolson already has his guy.

We still trust Rabby after the Tucker faux pas?

More-so.

He’s right about Tucker of course-he just spilled too soon.

The knock on Rabby is that he’s non-committal. He’s 100% not gonna risk being called out as inaccurate twice in one day.

It’s not like he suddenly stopped having sources but I don’t blame anyone 

Curry Hicks on X also has said that credible sources have told him it’s done and IU has someone signed.

My guess? It’s not DeVries. I don’t think that smoke came out of nowhere. I think it was targeted. He just met with Iowa today and walked away without a contract. I believe his agent started linking his name to the IU job in order to induce Iowa to piss or get off the pot and up their offer to him.

He has the wrong idea of “it’s done”. Feels like a mafia movie

I have turned on my twitter notifications for Shams and Zach. We’ll find out by Thursday evening if it’s indeed an available candidate.

McCollum strikes as more Coach K. I still don't think he's gonna jump at money for us? 

Wade is Pitino and Beard is Sampson. Bucky McMillan might be Pearl. 

It's more than just money.  Drake has 3 losses...30-3...and got an 11 seed.  That's gotta be frustrating to him.  He knows Drake has a ceiling that IU does not.  Postseason success is limited at Drake.  It's time to jump.  The money is secondary

I’ll also add: if this signing was made today or very recently, I highly doubt it’s someone currently coaching in the tournament. Which leads me to believe it isn’t a current college coach. Which leads me to a few names: Brad Stevens, Jay Wright, Tony Bennett, and Billy Donovan. I only find Stevens and Donovan to be particularly likely of those two.

I could be dead wrong. Just sharing my theories. Carry on.
