Fair but if busy schedules made tonight really the only night to meet AND if he would then have 3 years coaching his son, don't you think that little fact might not be that big a deal?  Not saying he went or he did not but it is curious for sure.  

Actually the all star break starts in a couple of days so there would be plenty of time to have a meeting

I would say Brad misses most of his son’s games. There is just no reason this meeting would be tonight when college basketball season has 6 weeks left. I would think this meeting could happen at a later date when brads son isn’t in town.

Don’t worry i talked to brads son. He’s ok with him missing this game so he can be at all of them the next 3 years after he transfers here

All we can do is report what we hear. We still have to take this thing across the finish line

If Dolson & company could somehow pull this off, it would be hilarious to see and hear all the “experts” and “analysts” who said it was never going to happen, and that the IU fanbase is toxic and delusional, pivot 180 degrees to talking about how risky the hire is because Brad has been out of college basketball for so long.

ND plays BC at 9 right? We’ll see if Stevens is there

[rcbowla]

Who's going to put themselves through watching BC vs ND tonight to see if Brad is there? Oh wait....I know a guy. @Uspshoosier keep us posted

No. And he never will be because he may be watching his son's basketball game.

Now that would be wild wouldn’t it.

Dolson says Brad, “This is the only night we can meet. You either skip your son’s game and meet with me or Dusty May is getting one fat offer”

You guys are awesome man!

The FACT is that Brady Stevens will be in Boston tonight

 

im using that FACT to argue that it is likely Brad wouldn’t choose tonight of all nights to meet with Dolson in Miami

Unless you were personally told by Stevens or someone who knows, it's not a fact, it's your opinion. 

I think you're correct that he's likely in Boston to see his son but the fact is that it isn't a fact, it's an opinion. Let's not confuse opinion and fact. 

If you see Stevens in the stands during the game or can otherwise confirm that he is there, THEN it becomes a fact.

This lull in HS recruiting is helping me catch Old Fart. I don’t have a prayer catching Stu, he does too much pandering. 

Just start posting about your love for East Coast recruits.  You might pull Go Colts/Old Friend back in and it will be a lengthy convo.  Those rookie numbers will evaporate before you know it.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I said the fact is that BRADY Stevens is in Boston tonight.

Also true

But tell me … isn’t it just a little, teeny-tiny, wee bit interesting that the Pfau private plane from Monroe County and a plane from Hanscom AFB in suburban Bostonboth flew to the small Opa Locka airport, the airport closest to Stevens’ agent’s offices, at around the same time?

And even without the Hanscom flight, that Btown Pfau flight to Opa Locka would still be a tiny bit interesting, riiiight?

Doesn’t PROVE anything, but why does it need to?

Personally speaking?

I’m having a grahhnd time.

Oh, yeah. Fandom abhors a vacuum and once the Woody thing broke early, random meaningless coaching speculation is as good as it gets. Though you really do need an IU level of insanity. I doubt the OSU boards went up in flames when Holtmann went away.

Correct, it very well could. But a game tonight doesn’t discredit that it “could” be him.

He could have met with his son earlier for lunch or even dinner last night, depending on when the team arrived. Hell, I heard a rumor that the Stevens and Shrewsberry’s had dinner last night.


Also, the portal opens the 17th or 24th or something. Anyways, if he did take the job, he would have to get a place here I believe, then get a staff, talk to current players, get a feel for them and then get all ready and ramped for portal. So wouldn’t want to wait till last minute.

Am I saying Brad is coming? No
Can we say he isn’t? No
Is it crazy rumor season? Hell yeah

OSU reaction this season: “wha-hey-wha?? Why don’t we see Holtmann tonight?”

I legit haven’t heard much on Stevens.  The people I speak with think the focus is on May.  I kind of wish from a coaching perspective Beard will be there in the discussion if we get past the Stevens of the world.  But it doesn’t sound too promising there.  Not saying my info is good.  Mainly been around Mirro people.  Just not a great early feel so I am leery of all of this strong info.  Not saying it’s not true, just not what I am hearing or the level of confidence.  I would love Stevens and in this NIL era how perfect would it be to have someone that has managed pros?  Will keep my fingers and toes crossed with the masses.

So you did. That's what I get for distracted reading and posting while distracted.

I didn’t have intentions of having that game on the main TV but this is coach searching season so I got to suck it up and watch this one on the main.  I will keep you posted

Look man.. I would give up a kidney if it meant Brad Stevens was on that flight.. I promise you I would

 

I’m just leaning towards no

Many OSU football fans are UK hoops fans, maybe they’ll click on the Buckeyes if they make the weekend games of the conference tourney and in the big dance

If someone gave me a way to guarantee Dusty May to IU at the price of elimination of ‘a Brad Stevens maybe’ and all other candidates?

I’d sign for that instantly and be the happiest ******* Hoosier there’s ever been.

Outside of the Zeller recruitment that was both the saddest and funniest moments on any board I have been on.  Kids will never fully grasp how epic that recruitment was.  Romeo Langford’s recruitment enthusiasm had nothing on Moses Abraham.
