Yes, he very much is. And I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a kid give a staff more mulligans to get his recruitment right. “Hey guys, Coach Painter is at every one of my games. Maybe you can watch me sometime. That would be really cool and I’d, ya know, REALLY appreciate it.” 

Woodson isn’t the main reason, maybe not top 3 or 4 Trent is going to IU.  Watching the recruiting approaches between Woodson & Painter was eye opening to say the least.  At the final in-home, which happened on consecutive days, Painter & staff were there for over 2.5 hours.  The following day Woodson & staff were there for under an hour.  If it was about the coach, Trent would be a Boiler, & his parents LOVE Matt P.  BTW, Matt(Trent’s dad) shared some texts from Painter after Trent let them know it would be IU - all class.

i think this tweet may be a reason people were up in arms about Stevens yesterday too, saw it on HSN

Haha.  ZYN does bball too?  He broke several fball recruiting stories this year.  He has proven himself as legit and is worth following.

Yaeh, during some of the IU transfer stuff, he would pop in and chat with us about what he was hearing. Especially when Spindler went to Nebraska, he came in and told us that was what he was hearing and then it happened.

Yeah, this account has been good with FB recruiting, but I didn't understand what predicting Rich Rod to UWV would have to do with IU basketball or why anyone would have thought that post was in anyway related to Stevens/IUBB etc.

There was more to it than that tweet. That tweet had nothing to do with IU lol

Behavioral Science says the public silence from Brad Stevens and IU administrators that there is a high probability that the next IU men’s basketball coach will be…..him.

     So because Connie Chung has "no standards" that means what Knight said was okay? 

     I don't mind a hard @$$ coach if it gets results from players-yelling at them at practice or in a game or making them sit on the bench when they screw up, etc...RMK was a basketball savant no question ; however there's absolutely no way you can clean up a misogynistic comment like that-I don't care if he was serious or not; it's still just wrong for a ton of reasons

sorry must be the girl dad in me...

Of course Knight's comment was wrong.  I think he said it because he thought it was funny  He was from the generation that thought people would know he wasn't advocating sexual assault, but making a stupid joke.  Looking back from modern times,  I understand the outrage with what he said.  But I still dislike Connie Chung, I just had to throw that in there.

I like this.  Someone bringing a scientific approach to this search!

Is the info that Virginia Tech is scheduling a future home and home with a Brad Stevens-led IU squad?

I think this silence is a very positive indicator.

Respectfully, the IU administrators and Brad Stevens have no reason to comment on anything currently. There’s been no public update on the search. If they commented on every rumor they’d never get anything done.

hopefully Brad ends up here, but I don’t think there is anything to read from official public radio silence.

I agree with you on the IU Admin.   But I dont see Stevens in the same light.  He clearly knows there is smoke growing around his name at IU just like there was last time.  If he is not interested, then a simple statement saying nothing has changed for me and wish IU well in their coaching search.  Every day that Stevens stays silent on this gives the appearance that he is indeed listening and interested.

Couldn't tell you but the ESPZYN wasn't about IU
