So we're battling for coaches with Iowa? That's where IU basketball is at these days, huh. Yikes. 

Yes, I know DeVries and McCollum are Iowa natives but still. A harsh reality check.

So, without his son, he's ****? If thats the case, we are putting too much stock in the dude other than what he did at Drake....and I will say McCollum much more impressive run at Drake...and he does not have to worry about his son being on the team

Several of their quality wins were after the injury but good analysis out of you I guess.

Would be super excited to hire a coach with limited experience and zero games won in the NCAA tournament, ever.

Sounds like Pope and Kelsey

Getting a sitting young Power 5 coach would be a good look for IU.   DeVries would be a solid choice and I believe he was on my original list of coaches I wanted IU to seriously look at.   If it’s him then IU will have an actual college basketball coach running their program again.    Get this wrapped up Scott I got some First 4 to focus on tonight 

great points, I know McCollum developed quite the little fan club here , but he was always a fall back option. IU was always going to go after a more experienced possibly sitting P4 Head Coach if it could. Even if he wasn't choice 1, 2 , or 3 I think this is a solid hire. I agree not a HR or Grand Slam. ( I'm sure the insiders will have their stories as to what fell apart or how it did with our supposed Big Name) 

20 + wins EVERY YEAR for 6 years at Drake (I get the 30 is impressive for McCollum BUT he's gotta do it with a roster rebuild before I would be sold and probably will) Got WVU to the tourney in year 1 (They got screwed period UNC was Nepotism and you won't change my mind.) Dude can navigate the portal and his son is a DAWG. If this all wraps up then cool . 

If not? then I'm EXHAUSTED

Hey, I am just glad we got Sisley family clarification.  Just odd the random people followed are 3 of the 5 most talked about candidates for the role.  Put a smile on my face the response though.

Huh?  His son didn't play a game during the Big 12 season and they beat the #2 and #7 teams.

I was hoping for a bigger fish. I’d rather go after a coach in the tournament if not Stevens

This doesn't smell right.

Same pattern of agent driven stuff. Beard, Brownell, McCollum, now DeVries.

So mark him off the list.

With news seemingly impending at any moment, it’s likely that any information that drops in the coming day(s), credible or otherwise, will lead to intense reactions. Don’t forget to wait for confirmation of any rumor you see. Keep your wits about you, fellas. We’re almost there.

What did I JUST say??

Thats exactly what it is. Let's not forget what Zach said yesterday on his Podcast. This smells very similar to the left field Kelvin Sampson hire according to him.

Yeah yesterday it was journalists know nothing and now today we are supposed to believe journalists know it is Devries?

Some of you act like IU can just go out there and just get any coach out there. It is a two way street and we can't make a certain coach want to coach here. Hasn't the last few years of coaching cycles proven to you that big fish don't leave their current jobs

...if Dolson has had his man and is contracted.....I'm sure he's having fun with the IU fans and guys like Goodman.

"DeVries would have made the tournament if his son was not out"........."They won plenty of games without his son".....Ya cant have it both ways.

They should have been in the tournament regardless of his son’s injury status who hadn’t played since December. They had more Q1 wins without Tucker than UNC did the entire season. WVU was absolutely jobbed by the committee. They should have been a 9 seed, at worst a 10.
