More like the flavor of the last 2-3 years. Usually a recipe with that kind of flavor stays on the menu for a long while.

Unlike Red Indian...that flavor of the month SUCKS!

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

Personally I think Michigan will lock him up

Unless Dusty doesn't let them lock him up. If IU is a dream job for him there's not much more they could offer financially compared to IU to make him turn it down. It all depends on him.

Assuming Brad's out, what's the ideal March run for Dusty at Michigan if we want to land him here? I'd think a final four might persuade him to stay. 2nd round upset loss?

Hopefully, it's a Roy Williams/UNC situation; even a run to the title game with Kansas didn't keep him from heading back to UNC.

Why would Cronin even entertain leaving the Blue Blood UCLA for IU?  UCLA has a rich history of athletes and donors and their NIL potential is waiting to explode, with (in my opinion) larger potential than ours. Cronin being a Midwest guy is the only reason I can think of why he would even want to leave but even that is wishful thinking. He has never to my knowledge mentioned being enamored with the IU job like Pearl or Beard. He’s not a former IU or Indiana guy like Stevens, May, or Alford.

it would be very similar to Self leaving  Kansas for IU. I don’t see it even remotely happening. 

I believe I’ve seen where he wants out of LA and the NIL isn’t where he would like it to be.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, Drew’s faith is a huge part of his life and he works for a Baptist school lol. 

Direct quote to CBN: “Everything we do in the program is Christ-centered.” 

I have no issue with people professing their faith, but I have serious doubts how he’d fit at a liberal institution or if he’d even be willing to go to one.

Agree!

Cronin is picking up steam from legit media outlets. Several new articles out today. Obviously doesn’t happen til UCLA’s season is over.

I think it's picking up steam because some people in the LA sports media and a portion of UCLA fanbase want him out.  His negative comments about his team have rubbed some the wrong way.  I would be happy with Cronin, but there are others I would choose first.

Of course, just hire a great coach. Should have thought of that. 2 things: 1) Every single great coach in the history of sports, not 1 exception, has at some point in their career not been viewed as great. So, are you comfortable with hiring a guy that has great traits but has yet to actually be great? Example: You’d take Nate Oats, right? When Bama hired him he’d coached 4 years in the MAC, won 1 conference title and 2 NCAA tournament games and that was his resume. Anybody who says they knew he was great is lying their a$$ off. You willing to take a shot on a resume like that? 2) If no, how are you poaching a guy already viewed as great? To paraphrase the legendary Noho Hank from Barry, “You want to stand outside Great Coach Hotel with help wanted sign?” Those guys have giant buyouts, massive cache and all the resources they could want, otherwise they wouldn’t still be where they are. You ain’t just writin’ a big check and stealing one of those guys.  To me, it’s not complicated. 1) You identify the traits you believe are necessary to succeed in your specific environment, 2) You identify candidates who possess those traits, 3) You gauge interest and proceed accordingly. It’s not complicated. It’s also not easy.

There is no guarantee of greatness, but there are those who are on an upward trajectory with the potential for greatness, & then there are those that have shown consistently for years that they are not great.  I’d rather not settle for known good, but never great.

I agree as well, but it also depends on how he chooses to use his faith. Not to get into a faith based discussion at all but some Christians feel called to be around like-minded people to share in fellowship, some Christians feel called to be out sharing their faith with others in places that are not cut from the same cloth as them, others feel called to a mix of both. It would all depend on where his family feels that should be after taking onto consideration their prayer life and calling. I could see him saying "no way" but I could also see him seeing IU and Bloomington as a place where he maybe see as a community where he could impact with his faith. No idea...
