I don't think his tweet confirms that DeVries isn't the guy, just that any DeVries to IU chatter would be coming from his agent. (Which means it could be true; or could not be and he's trying to get more cash from WVU).  

Or also maybe Iowa signaling Ben is their #1?

Eric from the Hysterics said it’s Devries but nobody at IU has told him that on the Peegs board

Don’t care about the Osterman tweet.   He would kill it at IU if hired 

He would be a great hire.  We would win right away, has a top 15 D and offense struggled because he missed his two best offensive players the majority of the season.

Osterman is respected but he’s in the dark as much as anyone right now

Did i read this correctly?  Devries has won one tournament game - a play-in game?   Thats the best IU could do?!  
 

He may end up solid here, but I really thought IU would hire someone else.  
 

TBD I guess if it is him.   

I get what you're saying.  One thing to note is UK hired a guy with zero tourney wins.

I kinda doubt it's Devries, I think his agent is using the IU job to get more from WVU.  If it's him, that's fine, we'll see how he does!

Woodson to Darian would be a choice, could work out, may not. I think this is his agent and media speculation at this point with his name blowing up. Would there be this much smoke if they made the tourney currently? No.

How many tournament games are you going to win with a team playing in the MVC?

Those that have been around on boards longer than me (Was only on for the 2021 search): is this the most quiet things have been from IU's side? Thinking back to the Sampson, Crean, and Miller searches. 

Honestly many of the searches were similar to this, many different names being thrown around, and rarely they were the coach we actually hired...like Lon Kruger was talked about alot when we hired Tom Crean...

We assume the players hate the coach as much as the fans do, but that's never the case. If you fire the coach, you lose the players. It's part of the deal. 

I had read quite a while ago somewhere that he was going to transfer out so this one may have nothing to do with firing Woodson. But don’t have any insight as to his intentions or why.

Darian Dale DeVries has seventeen letters in his full name and not one of them is B.

I would think given the letter and number of pics posted....... It's gotta be Donovan or Tony Bennett? so i'll go with.....

At least he admits it which should be good for something….

Wait till I tell you that both Louisville and Kentucky hired coaches with less experience than that last year.  It will blow your mind.

He would be leaving regardless. He got no playing time all year long

Supposedly injured as to why.

Right? Your seed is always going to be super low in the tourney.

He will likely break the news when it's announced...

And Brad Brownell is the Porter Moser of Lon Krugers.

Understood. I just thought IU would’ve hired someone else.  
 

I’ll trust you guys that say he’s a stud.
