Sorry for another message, but I'm at Disney. My wife was getting mad at me about to get on a ride and had to rush on my post. After reading the message again, it sounds like the flight is leaving tomorrow. I will share more details if I find out.

Sounds like someone is tripping balls after getting off the Alice in Wonderland ride.

What flight and to where?

I asked him, but he didn't know. He doesn'twant to ask just in case of getting his friend in trouble. My brother-in-law's guess is tomorrow morning is the flight. I'm assuming there aren't a lot of flights that come in and out from there. It should be easy to track.

Raby claims he has confirmation there was NO meeting in Iowa.  Doesn't mean there wasn't a meeting at a neutral site but DeVries was not at Iowa.

There may not have been a meeting but he did talk to the Iowa AD.

Dakich thinks it’s Devries.  That would be strange to meet with Iowa and then less than 24 hours later you have accepted and signed to be the Indiana coach.  Hard to believe.  

I agree. But if Devries asked them about NIL and they told him they were still at a million, which they supposedly were last year, I imagine that would shut it down pretty quick.

The flights people tracked suggested they met in Chicago.

Dan is a terrible source.  He doesn’t have good contacts, he doesn’t check facts, and he has no problem repeating rumors and lying.

Sounds like he’d fit right in….

If it’s DeVries in my opinion it’s a good hire.  Not a great hire.  And certainly not a grand slam. 
 

he will be a huge improvement over what we had the last four years though.

To be fair, most hires would be better for Indiana than Woodson.

Of course it's Turgeon, right?

with being as important as random, usernamed members of a message board? yeah that's pretty much how I'd sum up Dan Dakick.

Got a text from my brother-in-law from someone who works at the Clark County Airport.

That employee talked to Ned Pfau. "Put it this way, you'll know soon. Within 24 hours soon."

That has to be someone not in the tournament right?

So Ned Pfau called Clark County Airport personally and told an employee that he needed to schedule a flight, and added,  unsolicited, that it was to pick up IU's next coach and fly him to Bloomington. I see no problems with that scenario.
