I will also be the first to admit I have been in a really pissy mood this week and having troubles with the female so that could be part of it. I was looking for some actual good news and this sure ain’t it.

I've heard that Purdue is always looking for new fans...

Compare this to the pope and kelsey hires from last year and it feels similar. Devries probably has had more success than Kelsey and maybe less than Pope by a smidge. It's hard to pull successful coaches away from their teams. That is just the nature of college basketball. I would love to have gotten Lloyd or Drew or someone of that nature but it just isn't the name of the game anymore. I would wager to guess the people that thought we had no shot at Stevens will be lauding this as a great hire 

This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but hiring Devries is not that much different than hiring Kelsey away from Louisville this year.

Any actual reasons for Barnett hating IU? I’ve seen it mentioned as something everyone knows but no explanation. 

Can’t remember specifics believe it was peegs stuff back in the Early Archie days in regards to things said to recruits in a negative way not sure if it was about the program in general or the current staff when he was with Alford at UCLA . 
 

like I said I don’t remember specifics could be off base maybe it’s nothing maybe it’s something bigger .

I have a horrible feeling it's number 2. And if that's the case, it just means the IUBB isn't as coveted as I thought it was.

You could argue we did better than Louisville did last cycle, and just as good as UK when they pulled Pope. 
This is the landscape of the sport now. Sitting P5 coaches don’t need to leave their programs as often.

I Love it…the guy has not coached one game at IU and he’s already got his cast of sycophants, devotees, s*****g on anyone who disagrees! Lmao It’s comical…yeah that’s his ******* opinion…just like you got yours….mental cases……

And you have people crapping on the coach and he hasn't coached a game yet. That road, goes both ways

West Virginia fans are very sad to lose him if that means anything

This is just per Trilly?  He could be right, but nothing from Thamel or Osterman yet?

I'm fine with DeVries (not that I matter) and it could be him, but I'm not buying the current sources just yet...

He tied for 1st once in the conference. That's not winning. That's tying. I just don't understand why we should be excited about this hire. 

People say Archie Miller won at Dayton but 'everybody wins at Dayton'.

Prior to DeVries, NOBODY won at Drake.  In the last 50 years, Drake has had 16 winning seasons.......six for six with DeVries, 10 of 44 with everybody else.  Five NCAA appearances in 50 years.....three were DeVries.  In the last 50 years, they had won 20 or more games 8 times.  DeVries was 6 of 6, everyone else was 2 of 44.

Somehow getting Mullins to decommit from UConn would go a loooong way towards getting a lot of fans on board.

Not saying it's likely. But it'd be pretty cool if it happened.

* JUST A QUICK MOD NOTE*
 

Regardless of how you feel about the hire whether it’s true or it’s someone else. Acting like a complete jack*** can lead you to a time out.

 

Carry on

Huggy Bear and DeVries

Edit: The account is implying DeVries is leaving.  Not sure I believe this account.
