Could be dumb. But mutual follow has historically been a good indicator of incoming recruit commitments. Though others have noted that Sisley also follow Brownell and Wright. 

I would agree, I would say Instagram is probably a better indicator than "X" but "X" still a solid one to reference

Brad Stevens to Iowa!

He wants to rejoin AD Beth Goetz:

Brad Stevens is ‘a huge fan’

Goetz’s fans include Boston Celtics team president Brad Stevens, who worked with her when he led Butler men’s basketball to the national championship game in 2010 and 2011.

“I’ve told everybody that would listen everywhere she’s been and everybody I know that she’s one of the best administrators and leaders I’ve ever worked with,” Stevens said in a phone call with The Gazette.

Stevens described Goetz, who was an associate AD when they worked together at Butler, as a “super person with a super-high emotional quotient.”

“I’m glad that she has found such success in college,” Stevens said. “If she didn’t, I was going to try to hire her.”

Stevens has “constantly stayed in touch with her” as his career progressed from college basketball head coach to NBA head coach, to NBA executive of a team that was one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals this year.

When Goetz’s Cardinals played at Penn State in 2021, Stevens traveled to State College, Pa. — 368 miles as the crow flies from Boston — to watch the game and attend the Cardinals’ pregame tailgate event.

“I’m just a huge fan” of Goetz, Stevens said. “I just really, really respect her as a leader and a person.”

Sisley follows everyone on most of his socials. I’m on the younger side and I’m not sure how you can tell how recent someone followed someone else on Twitter?

For those who are still on the Brad train, Teterboro is closest to Turnkey offices in Philly. Could also be an intersection point with many flights from KBED. Miami is where Brad's PR firm supposedly is. Why they would fly back to Philly this morning and then to JVY... beats me, but that's only flight that looked interesting to me today.

He claimed he got texts from two different people last night that “it’s done.” Curry Hicks was also doing a podcast and essentially said it’s not McCollum or the other names mentioned but either DeVries or the “mystery candidate.” 

Well, we've heard that Dolson "has his guy" for 3 weeks now... and he's still out hunting the big game... *sigh*

Twitter needs an audit trail so we can see EXACTLY when Sisley’s followers activity changed. Lmao… hello, my name is Home Jersey, and I am an addict…

I think it’s more likely McCollum and him have connected.  They follow each other.  Sisley follows Brownell and Beard.  I highly doubt he really knew who Brownell was 4 weeks ago.  Beard?  Probably, but he isn’t following any other coaches.  So I assume he is paying attention to this site and others.

I can’t physically take this much longer lol. If all the smoke about announcing before the tournament turns out to be nothing and we make it to Thursday without an announcement, all the tea leaves will change in an instant

We’ll make a believer out of you yet!

Map Foundation is a non-emergency medical flight company.

It's still a Honaker Aviation plane. They may have different owners, but I think I've read they can tap into different planes in the fleet.

Story may be more about who McCollum is following...

Again, I know this is dumb lol

This

I don't think it's that notable that Sisley is following McCollum as he follows many coaches.

Now, McCollum following Sisley seems to be the interesting thing here. He doesn't look to be following many players at all.

Again, could be nothing...

Brad must be the easiest PR firm client of all time.

If there is a tweet from IU announcing the coach, check its authencity.  I can't take the heart attack.

If it was announced IU hired a big name I'd probably have a heart attack myself.
