Did I mention I confirmed that Stevens was at the B1G tournament last weekend?

I don’t think you did. I know you had a “not Stevens” source over the weekend. But you’ve had some interesting comments last night and this AM and you’re not one to stoke the flames to tease.

I said (and it is) a “not IU” source.

The source was quite confident that Stevens was a no. However, I also added that any source, unless it’s a direct family member or the candidate or candidate’s agent, is not an absolute guarantee on any information.

Which one of you maroons think Collins is the guy???? Oh, I know, I know....if only he had IU NIL....right??? Oh the grades.right? Sorry, but NO. If we are going purely off potential, I will take Devries or McCollum...not this dud....Also, we poo poo the possibility of Brownell but welcome Collins??? FFS, we have lost our minds.

The IUBB subreddit is useless for anything of this type. No one who is truly an "insider" posts there. Typically you just come across regurgitations of what's been rumored elsewhere.

Oh, I don't know.....seems about as legit as the insiders here....

He said Alan Hissy or something like that a while back to. Dennis Gates was one last search. Heck he might have mentioned Mathew Graves also. :-)

Like me some Dennis Gates. Not sure he is the big personality for IU, but anyone that can finally convince Tamar Bates to block out & develop some sense of a nose for the ball while rebounding deserves a look.  Bates may overplay passing lanes and over help as he's done in the past, however, I'll leave that up to he and Gates. With 3 or 4 games to left to go in regular season, I believe I read Bates's lips to say, "Make sure you block out" when they were lined up for a free throw. I 'bout fell off the couch.

So devries is off the table according to our insiders? We're leaning big fish now? I knew I could count on you guys!

That is my way of saying there’s absolutely no guarantees about anything. It’s all potential information and clues towards potential choices.

I accurately shared based on credible information from someone not affiliated with IU a few days ago.

Since then, have you heard there’s a better possibility of Stevens?

 

If so, and that info turns out to not be right, that’s fine. Just curious.

I have not heard more nor have I attempted to get more information

[SlammySammy 1,684]

God help us we might entertain Alford (just an example) when there is a GATES or COLLINS out there! LOL.....We have geniuses, everybody.

Anybody else like a kid on Christmas morning right now? 

Not Christmas morning yet....more like Dec. 21...I'm poking around the basement closet where mom and dad hid our "stuff".  Dreaming of finding the Millennium Falcon, but all I'm seeing is an unwrapped Operations Game that looks cool but not what I wanted.  

In the end....I got the Millennium Falcon...they knew to hide the really cool gift and what I wanted in their best hiding spot.  Yeah...that's what I'm hoping this is now.

I feel like I’m hoping for a PS6 this week, instead I’m likely to get a GameCube. 

a Gamecube with the original Mario Strikers sign me up 100% of the time.  The real ones know

I know nothing but I think today is when the lid comes off and tomorrow we officially have a coach.

but then again, I could just need coffee

Thanks for your comment! I know a lot of us talked about Brad Stevens for quite a while, so if Collins would be the next coach, many fans would be disappointed, but I wouldn't be. Collins knows how to navigate Big 10, and with much better talents, I think he'd do very well here. 

Collins is extremely underrated as a coach.

with a change in NIL and transfer portal, he could be looking for a new location. Northwestern was already difficult with the academic requirements. Without question, the guy can coach. In their entire history, they have been to the NCAA tournament three times - all under Collins..

Buzz your girlfriend, woof!

Well A&M is in the tournament so I don't think that had anything to do with the coaching search

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

Rabby probably did get a text. I think we’re going to land a coach out of left field that’s going to cause big excitement
