This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

I’d legitimately offer Oats 7 million a year. Granted it’s not my money but he’s what we’re all clamoring for in terms of style, youth, and personality. I have little doubt he’ll be one of the best coaches in college in the future. Kids are going to be lining up to play in this system. Alabama can match anything sadly.

Did you know he went to the same college as Tom Allen.

Would prefer to see more of him first. USC is good this year but how much of that is Enfield and how much of it is hiring an assistant with two McDonald’s all American sons. 

He’s a 51 year old who’s been a coach for 27 years, a D1 head coach for ten years, and was an NBA assistant for six years.

He can already get an AARP card.

I tend to agree on style the only thing I worry about is it being able to fit within the Big 1.0.  Would his "bigs" last a full season of conference tackling to make it to the tourney?

Enfield anyone?

He won at a small school (FGCU), advanced to a football P5 school and levered that promotion into great recruiting and good results, especially this year. Charismatic program leader too. Admittedly, getting the Mobley brothers after hiring their dad helped immensely, but hey...he got em!

I believe people underrate him because they’ve never see his team play.

As long as he brings his defensive Asst. Their scheme is simple but they are really sound.

FWIW, I think guys who were probably in the know before -- like chris -- are pretty gun shy about sharing any information.  Also think the sources they had are a little gun shy to share with them what they know.  I believe the intel was good but it didn't work out with Stevens.

I'm sure guys like Chris and sources he has are going to be playing it pretty close to the vest right now....which is going to lead to a little of the 'silly season' of rumors....guys coming out of the woodwork with no real information or solid sources.

But I don't blame those who got burnt.  Seems like they too tons of crap for doing nothing more than providing what they knew.  My guess is Chris knows more than he is willing to let on -- and I don't blame him one bit.  It's not going to change the hire and in the end, it's probably just going to mean we might know who it is a couple of days later than we would have otherwise.

Agree.

I liked, and enjoyed, reading what they were hearing and hope they continue to share whatever is swirling around.. Not for a second did I think there was a credibility issue, when the Brad signing did not happen,  as people change their minds and sometimes things just don’t work out.
 A great example I always remember is Jarred Jeffries saying he went to bed 100% positive he was going to commit to Duke the next day but then switched to IU. “Stuff” happens.

If it was all about location you'd have teams successful throughout Cali, New York, and Florida.  Thankfully, it's not all about location.  Kids want to get to the NBA and want a system that will 1) showcase their skills 2) develop their skills and 3) a head coach and assistants they trust to do the first two.  Location is pretty low on the pecking order of reasons to commit to a program

And I’m saying I don’t think Enfield has coaching ability to do that and him being in LA makes up for that. I don’t think he’d recruit well for Indiana.

Enfield not creepy or slimy but Scott Drew is?  
 

so, it’s optics?  Recruiting shadiness tactics?  

I never said Drew was too slimy for me.

I said something about him bugs the crap out of me. 

Maybe it’s me and it’s not their fault, but both Scott and Bryce Drew bother me! What can I say?   :)

Yup, Oats if definitely the guy to go all in on. I put Mussel earlier because Oats said he was out. Hopefully that's because his team is still in the tourney. He would be perfect but Musselman would be a good fall back. Oats is the real deal.

Fair, in that regard. I’ve misinterpreted your standing then.  
 

We’d be lucky to have a Scott Drew. We almost had a Thad Matta who is 4-5 years OUT of the game.  Disaster averted.

He’s only made it to one sweet 16 during those ten years. But, his moves lately at USC lead me to believe he’s willing to get a little gray, which I’m not against. I’m watching his squad right now and they look like the better team. They’re big and athletic.
