He tweeted that the Devries smoke wasn’t coming from IU. Basically none of the smoke was coming from IU and no one knows anything.

Yes.

Dolson & company have insisted on keeping this radio silent.  I can't imagine he'd be anything but PO'd if some candidate's side was out blabbing to the media.

This is my thought as well. “The guy” just happens to be someone who barely missed the tourney so we can land him now? Everything about the Devries stuff reads like an agent doing right by his client. 
 

I’m on team “mystery candidate”.

I'm on team I have no effing idea, and really I have a ton of respect for Scott Dolson to be able to keep it this close to the vest.

Billy D, Jay, or Tony B. My conspiracy theory for Wright to IU is the fact he’s not announcing any tournament games for cbs which seems odd since he’s usually doing big games during the season.

Our friend IUFB thinks it’s not Devries and it’s the mystery candidate, but not Stevens.

 

Apologies if I’m not allowed to share that. 

The Wright man for the job

I don’t know anything about DD. I can say without a doubt he will not win the press conference and will not unite the fan base. He will get a chance, but I don’t think he will have as long of a rope as even Woodson or Archie. Woodson absolutely divided this fanbase worse then it ever has been with his true fan comments.

Save a Brad Stevens hire, no one is going to unite this fan base or win the press conference.  Bitching has become so much of some IU fans identity over the past 10 years they don’t know what to do with themselves without having something to be negative about.  The program has not come close to the success all of us would like to see in a long time, but how you go about conducting yourself and behavior is a choice.  If it is DeVries, I will support him until or unless he gives us reason not to.  Whomever the hire is was vetted and the product of what I can only assume was a comprehensive process and search.

Only 1 thing will unite fans going forward and that is to win.

I just have no idea who that would be because I’ve heard Donovan is gonna be back in Chicago again next year

I don't think either of you are going to win here.  Good news is Kerr is not coming so no worries about that.  Bruce Pearl, maybe but only because his first name begins with a B

I would love Bruce Pearl as the Indiana basketball coach

Sounds reasonable.

Ok, gun to your head... DeVries or McCollum to IU?

If I had my pick I’d go McCollum… I’m just a big fan of his. But DeVries is really good too. I’d be more excited about Ben but would also sleep well at night if it were DeVries… haven’t the foggiest clue who it will actually be though… ready to find out!

It´s not DeVries....would make no sense given timing of announcement....everybody is just scrambling/guessing

What announcement?

I don't think you get a pick Scotty.  You have told us 139 times that big fish do not leave jobs to come to a place like IU.

I come check this thread maybe once per day.  It's always the same process, I come here hoping to find something insightful but instead leave frustrated after seeing page after page of pointless banter.

Perfect time to quit your job and head elsewhere. Just don't get back on the team plane.
