The DeVries part that excites me the most would be his ability to bring a solid roster over (Tucker and Small?), maybe keep 1 or 2 IU pieces and fit a couple of more portal pieces I think he could put together a really solid roster year 1 

I'm surprised he was so interested in IU, again I know he makes his own choices but having Kory Bennett and Tom Ostrom on your staff can't imagine he heard good things about IU and its AD. Thought it was leverage but maybe he really wants out to WVU and Iowa NIL really sucks that much

What did you do?

After graduating HS, I got  sledge hammered at a grad party. The next morning my mom informed me we were going clothes shopping.

If we hire another coach that missed the tournament it would be VERY underwhelming.

In fairness to him.  The committee used an injury that happened in November as a reason to keep them out.  They got absolutely screwed by the committee to put in UNC. They should have absolutely made it.

Small has a Goode type situation going on for eligibility

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. 

The family definitely knows Brownell. In fact I believe he took a visit to Clemson or at least spoke with him. Nothing more, nothing less.  lol.  Some of you people are nuts.

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.  

Not really. That’s basically how Michigan ended up with Dusty May. Met with Louisville and they were sure he was signing (believe a fair amount of national reporters picked up on it) only to pick Michigan at the 11th hour.

Its entirely possible DD prefers the Iowa job but left the interview yesterday knowing they can’t provide what’s needed to succeed at the highest level.

When this is over, we need to all create another thread in which we continually speculate about other coaching searches. It's been painfully fun (if that makes sense).

Yeah, and we end up hiring Stevens this time, we can still go to to new thread to discuss how he'll never come here because he likes who he works with and his teenage daughter is a Purdue fan.
