I'm about as excited about Devries as I was Miller. I won't be shocked if we're here again in 4 years.

We were on the same boat for Archie. I’m excited about DeVries. I think he will do a good job. Won’t win the press conference but I think he can win here.

If this is True.   Dolson had no real plan in place.  Or he got shot down by everyone.  No way he Waits on DeVries until tournament is over if he was in tournament.  

This is the most ultimate of settle hires.  But it adds up.  

If Dolson was working on it that long, he had a plan. But unlike some people have difficulty believing, Indiana is a job people said no to.

10-10 on a team that had to put together quickly and without its best player.....pretty damn good.

He took over a 9-23 team and they got screwed out of a tournament bid without their best player all year.  It's clear the guy can put a team together and coach well

Just look at Drake's 6 seasons, prior to Devries getting there.  Then he rattles off 6 straight years winning at least 21 games every year at Drake.  Turns around a West Virginia team that was 9-23 last year in his first year!  This guy can flat out coach and could be locked in for the next 20 years.

Not to sound overly optimistic but people who say they'd rather have McCollum... I understand that, but McCollum inherited a program that was already rolling at Drake, and brought in his own extremely effective system. I'm not discrediting the fact he's won 30 games, that's an excellent record. DeVries won very close to that number multiple times, having built Drake from the ground up himself. He's not just a proven winner but also a proven program-builder and recruiter. That's what we need.

I am sure McCollum will end up right where he wants to be (Iowa) and will be a nuisance in the Big Ten. Only time will tell.

West Virginia is not IU

 

Dolson just put his job on the line

This is just my opinion on this, if it is DDV it is 100% because Dolson can’t have a failure a complete failure and he sees this guys floor higher than McCollum’s. Worried about his D1 experience, recruiting, etc. maybe I am nuts but if it is those 2, I roll the dice on McCollum. I need to obviously learn more about DDV it sounds.

Well I’d love to hear what our “insiders” were told by there sources and not in the form of Gifs or memes

How many “insiders” mentioned DeVries name once in the last 6-8 weeks? lol 

Drop it man....as has been mentioned 100 times before.  Insiders are not claiming to be walking hand in hand with Dolson...they are connected to someone who is connected to someone and they are simply sharing what they hear.  Only a couple "insiders" have claimed their info as fact....and they're not here anymore....Dolson played it close to the vest and nobody was in the know...lots of info going everywhere....so you're right, no "insiders" mentioned his name....get off your soapbox and if this is true, let's rally together and lose the smugness.....

 

please?

DeVries may work out. I think the initial reaction by some, including me, is: that’s the best IU could do with a top salary and NIL? I don’t think it will matter as long as he wins but it’s not like he has a strong track record in a power conference. In the end, it’s more of a realization that maybe it’s true that top coaches just don’t want to coach at IU. So we take the best of the middle of the pack and hope they break out. 

More like top coaches aren’t leaving their current p4 job to go to another p4 job.  Not just IU.  See Michigan, Louisville, and Kentucky last year ago.

I'm guessing each of those NCAA appearances were due to winning their conference tournament? So that would be 5/6 years finishing top 2 in conference regular season plus 3 times winning the conference tournament. So even though he has 0 NCAA wins, he does have some postseason success in that regard.
