I know that Rabjohns is typically more vague and guarded, partially because he has to be but also because it pays to keep people coming back for more, but what has his vibe been about Stevens this time?

question for the peegsters I guess but just wondering if he is hearing the same things our insiders are, or if he is giving them and weight. 

He’s number one on the hot board

Whole reason i came here is because Rabby doesn't give ****, he speaks in code and im too impatient to decipher it lol.

I think so. Dusty waiting to extend puts pressure on Michigan to pony up, makes them sweat and probably ends with dusty getting more money. 

If Scott really thought it would get to dusty, he wouldn't have announced Woodson's retirement until end of season to prevent Michigan from pushing for an extension, IMO

Dusty’s response in the post game really was a master class in putting pressure on his current employer while clearly keeping the IU option open. If it does go beyond Brad, this will be interesting. I also wonder about leaving a job after one season. I don’t know Dusty personally at all, but it doesn’t seem like something he would do on the surface.

Surely if we were to the point where we were gonna truly get Brad, SOMEONE would have to leak that! That's news a person couldn't keep to themselves! I know I couldn't! Haha.

People do a lot of things they don't normally do when your dream job comes calling lol

Is there any pulse on Scott Drew?

I wasn’t trying to discount that fact, and I agree with you, just merely an observation. But if he wasn’t interested, that was about the most non-shutdown response he could have formulated lol

Guys. I’m 44 and I’ve been a diehard fan since I was about 16.  My oldest boy is 18 and I force him to root for the Hoosiers.  I’m starting to count the years, lol.  We need to nail this hire.  I don’t even need #6. Just want to be in the ballpark.   Have a competitive team that dances almost every year.  Is that too much to ask?

Not too sure, i know he was keeping tabs on the job opening last year, obviously before Kentucky came calling but haven heard anything I've been able to verify on the drew part.

Wondering if he gives any context or breadcrumbs with the hot board. I just always question Rabby’s motives lol I’m sure he is well aware that Brad being at the top of the board creates the most frenzy and traffic. Hopefully it just means that is high mutual interest and that’s why he’s number 1!

He has him at #1 right now and says Stevens plans on listening. But won't know more till we get closer to March

I've noticed from reading the Peegs board that when someone usually gives good info they get made fun of because no one believes it and Rabby doesn't back them up

[Hoosier Guy 7,754]

It’d be hard to turn down a dream job.  It’s interesting because both Stevens and May have IU as their dream jobs.  Personally, I don’t see Stevens turning down IU again.  This would probably be the end of that if he doesn’t pull the trigger.

Hey guys wanted to share some info I was told. Going to code this Intel/be vague to protect my source so it may sound odd:

My roommate from decades ago is on our BoT and he or she told me that from a meeting with someone inside the athletic program that Stevens has mentioned he will not be coaching in college for the foreseeable future. Came off very much as if he did come back it would be for IU but that it is college basketball in general. I was told the next in line for the talk was dusty who we will meet with next Monday due to schedule issues. The meeting will not be with Dusty but with agents around him who will share his plans and what he is looking for (salary, NIL, contract structure, overall plan for the program, support from the top, transition plan, assistant coach budget, etc). Until that meeting occurs we will not have much new info. The stevens info may get leaked over the next week or two however they are trying to keep quiet on that front. 

 

Go Hoosiers !

Also, listened to Rothstein at Lunch in his podcast with Little Dick Pitino.  Rothstein absolutely hammers Indiana calling it a bad job pretty much.  Seems to call out the fans. Seemed awfully harsh in tone.   I’m not sure what his deal is with Indiana.

Did he happen to mention what an absolutely dreadful hire Mike Woodson was from the very beginning? Of course not.

It's always our fault when our coaches suck and we let them hear it.

Reads that Chris Beard gets drunk at local bars

Asks for proof

Provided proof

Now states a video of a drunken slurring Chris Beard in a bar, on Christmas Day no less, is not proof that he gets drunk in public.

 

Getting plastered all alone in a bar on Christmas Day. 

I'm guessing that is a pretty good indicator of a drinking problem.

 

 

Wow, that’s a lot of assumptions. Will you vet Pearl with the same vigor?

Sounds about right.  May always seems like the most likely. But now we will have to “Over” pay because we didn’t pull the trigger last year.  Can’t get out of our own way half the time.
