I remember "People will be happy" being pumped down a feeding tube for Archie 4 years ago. Fool me once..

I think Shoulders was running around Evansville calling it a grand slam lol

I personally don't think Mussleman is possible. I've shared my own views on why I wouldn't want him.

But using logic, Arkansas won't let Mussleman walk away. He's going to get a payday more than likely. Arkansas loves their basketball. They might have found their guy in Mussleman. The fans are bought into him and frankly, Mussleman is bought into the program. Did you see all those Arkansas fans there last night? WOW!

My prediction - Mussleman is at Arkansas next year with a nice new paycheck. 

Oh I'm not saying we can get him but he is my #1. If we really do have our coach it won't be any coach still in the tourney. That's a little scary considering Beard is the only coach out now that I think we have a chance for.  I guess I hope it is him.

Fpeaugh also posted that it's not an IU guy. When I searched his name (was unfamiliar), a thread from 2018 came up, with someone asking why Fpeaugh hadn't been banned yet for trolling

I’m starting to trust what the guy on the peegs chat was saying last night. I guess we’ll see when it’s announced but I’m trusting Dolson might have finally don’t this right.

Plus Bennett  doesn’t seem to embody “Where is college basketball going? And as you can see, basketball is different than it was three years ago, four years ago, six years ago in terms of how it fits into the NBA and moving on and playing professionally. I think we have to blend all of that together to have an attractive style of play, that obviously can win consistently, but that players want to play in and see themselves in.”

One thing is for sure...if there's a Wednesday announcement, word will leak.

I was getting ready to say this. I think Archie was “announced” on a Monday (I was there). Word leaked Saturday. If this is all true I expect to hear something today.

I'm on the boat of --- If we don't have our coach by Friday, then it's probably Scott Drew. 

[Kentuckysucks 2,207]

Has to be Bennett unless Brad or Billy had vast change of heart.  Not an IU guy and many if not most would hate Matta and especially Beilein.

Not poking fun at you and you're not the only one...but it is funny to read people so hesitant to say any names now....LOL!  I get it.

No way you finish the deal  and wait till wed to announce.  That seems silly.

If they know the hire, you know they would be putting out the name. Everyone wants to be first to announce so I don't buy they know the name. Maybe just they know we have someone. I believe they have been told we have a hire and it's a good one so they say homerun without truly knowing if that's the case.

Yep. Why would Kristian or some random guy from Indiana know? Scott telling the team so and so is coming seems very unlikely. Even mentioning a name to one of our players seems dangerous. 

[Trish 11,524]

@Chris007 Who are we thinking breaks the news first? It probably won't be Goodman unless an agent talks. Perhaps Rabajohns? 

 

[Henryville Hoosier 972]

If true I’m guessing Matta.

[Willkie71 173]

Don't believe Fpeaugh, he's the guy that guaranteed Donavan last time, troll.

They know Mack well since he recruited him Lander.  Would be easy for him to tell Lander which told ND.  I am guessing that is who it will be. He has been out of the tourney so they could of easily been in negations. Is Mack a home run, I'd say probably.

I’ve thrown out speculation last night but I don’t know. I’m just basing off of clues that I’ve been told.

I hope Goodman gets it first and he’s in such shock someone else like Rabby gets the tweet out first.
