It feels like they just feed Rabby misinformation to throw everyone off the scent and he takes the bait every time. That, or he's in cahoots with the program to assist them with the hiring process and contract negotiations by throwing out silly b.s.

I just don't think any of Rabby's information comes from the IU side, so he's passing along info from agent circles.

why are you are always perpetually miserable ?

It's in his name. He's on an Indiana board with a name focused on Kentucky. He loves misery and he's just trying to find the company to go with it 

[Alford Bailey 13,173]

LOL, Devries has three schools in a bidding war

Rabby is just Dave Meltzer now.  IYKYK

 

 

I always patterned Rivals as more AEWesque, so that makes sense, bruv.

What a massive failure if this is who Indiana ends up with. So many proven winners that would take the job 

You massively overrate this job. DeVries is an excellent coach. I don't believe it's him, but if it is I'll be happy. Proven track record, can recruit talent, has elevated the program wherever he's gone. And has a cool name. Maybe not an A+ hire but I'd give it a solid B. Certainly raises the floor immediately at IU. Who knows what the ceiling would be, as he's not been at a high major program long enough to establish a tournament résumé.

Our next coach...

Just what we need... another ex-NBA coach with ZERO college experience. His NBA record is on par with the Wizard of Broad Ripple... hard pass

Appreciate this. The Brad Stevens dream died about this time 4 years ago and don’t believe it ever got past anything than an obligatory phone call back in February.

Crazy times when gifs and encrypted messages outweighs optics and common sense.

Careful my friend, you’re gonna have insiders threatening to leave the board.

I think Rabjohns burned some bridges with the school during Woodson's tenure too.  If I were the AD, I would cut quite a bit of the access to the guys who have to make a living off Indiana sports clicks.  I think that Woodson was an @$$ and deserving of all the criticism, but if you are the school you can't have all the parasite sites bad mouthing your coach and frankly I think those sites are more useful when they aren't a mouthpiece for the school.

The Hoosier Hysterics would be DOA if I were Dolson too.

Certainly does.  Iowa's already had 3 players announce for the portal.

They don't want to play for DeVries?

This. As a fan base, the bold is our biggest barrier to reality.

You need to add the word "Posts" in between the 2 sucks to avoid a warning from the mods.  Quickly edit it.

How have you come to this conclusion?

Wade and beard would take this job in 5 seconds lol 

[JimmerNoe 1,069]

One comforting thought about Devries:

if we are indeed down the list and in a scramble to grab him now that his season is over, I feel supremely confident that if we want him, we will get him over WVU and Iowa. And he’s a great “last resort” who would have us winning sooner rather than later.

The alternative is that Scott has someone better already and we are in great shape.

 

Either of these outcomes would be a fantastic place to be sitting in any coaching search, at any time, bar none. So to summarize, we’re sitting pretty.

I did just hear we are kicking the tires on Jack Keefer.  Best recruiter Indiana has ever seen and given all the other crazy info it may have some legs until proven otherwise.

I’ve heard from a good source the Hysterics aren’t getting access again as long ad Scott is AD.  So that’s good news.

Is that a bad thing? The amount of misinformation spread about Stevens spanning 4 years and 2 different coaching searches is mesmerizing. At what point do you start to pick better friends lol.

When you wish upon a star.  Makes no difference who you are.  Anything your heart desires.  Brad will come home to you. 
 

If your heart is in your dream.  No request is too extreme.  When you wish upon a Brad, as dreamers do.
