Brother, if this is all true, you have reached legend status on this board in a very short time.  If it doesn't come to fruition, you might want to plan a vacation. Lol. 

Thanks for all the info!

If Fran coaches this year and next year, he could be the perfect successor there.

And, if we hire Mick Cronin, Buzz Williams, Chris Beard (Yes, I said Beard), etc. then Iowa is going to be kicking our backside for years to come.

Dolson will be the next one getting an extension if this gets pulled off lol

But I am dubious...

If all of this works out, how does Braylon Mullins feel? 

Of course he'll go to UCONN and play for currently the best college coach. 

But seeing Brad Stevens go to his home state school would have to be tough. He'd be a virtual God in his home state. He would probably make more NIL at IU and the only coach who is arguably on Hurley's level right now would Stevens due to his high-level of success in both college and the pros. 

It would have to hurt a little, at least...

Think there was some speculation in this thread yesterday that the whole AAU call with Indiana Elite may have been signaling for those coaches to get a sense for what Braylon would think if Stevens came... Maybe getting the ball rolling on back channeling for roster building... Whether it nets us Mullins or not, it's exciting to think about, if it comes to fruition...

Pretty sure Mullins is too young to remember Stevens at Butler personally

You might not know this but I'm curious...say that we had an offer to Stevens and he came back with "I need $12 million total annual compensation. In addition, you offered me an $8 million NIL budget annually but I need a promise of $10 million roster annually". Is it your understanding that if IU secured those things (guessing that is a VERY easy sales job to donors with that kind of money), Brad would then sign? In short, was this a "give me this and I'll think about it" OR "give me this in writing and it's a deal"?
