Any comment on what Sam Story said in the Trilly discord?

First, as I have said many times I have not heard of any deal being in place. I'm leaning more that Brad won't be the coach most likely but still don't know.

Also want to state I like Sam a lot, he is a good dude and has always been super nice to me. 

But I know for sure we have been working on Brad, and communicating with him for a long time. Where it doesn't add up for me and all of this took place before the 14th. From my source's booster side of things, we offered him a contract, and he thought about it and countered it. With the counteroffer, Scott had to go back and ask certain people for more money. That all happened before or on the day of the 14th. Then the Goodman info comes out and things have been super quiet since. 

I find it very hard to believe that all of that info I have heard from many others on here is all bull and we only got a 5-minute Zoom call. 

But as I always say I've been wrong before

They added 1 year and like $1.5M to May's  already low buyout. He may be content in Ann Arbor but nothing about that extension would change IU's interest in May

Didn’t say it did. It changes Dusty’s interest in IU. He didn’t need to sign an extension mid season, he chose to. If he was in bed with IU he wouldn’t have signed it

WHY WON'T ANYONE DISCUSS LUKE MURRAY OR ALEX BARLOW?

I asked y'all to do that super nicely! 

 

:)

Fine enough candidates in a vacuum, to me; Murray and Kimani Young are both interesting at UConn.

None of those guys meet the Thamel criteria of HM HC experience

The one thing I don't understand is if everything worked out the way people say it did. On Feb 14 Brad said no thanks. Then wouldn't have Scott been on the phone with Dusty's agent that afternoon saying he has big money coming for your client as soon as the season is over since we all know he was the #2 choice. I don't care if his family loves Michigan or not, (don't believe it) we could have given him a much better raise than the 1 million he got with the extension. 

It was a reward for a nice season and Dusty was never going anywhere.  He doesn’t want a fishbowl job.  It’s better for all that he stays at UM.  Not a good fit here imo.

Dusty wants to be at Michigan and didn’t want  the distraction of our opening to affect his recruiting momentum. End of story. Dolson didn’t “let”him sign an extension. That’s ridiculous.

The most likely scenario is Brad Stevens isn’t coming here, evidenced by Goodman’s tweet saying as much, and neither is Dusty May, evidenced by him signing an extension literally last week, but some are spinning those two events into evidence they’re coming to IU…

I hope Dolson doesn’t share their beliefs and is working on finding who actually might want to be our next coach.

This comes up a bunch but I don’t know the context. Who can share?

Sam Story likes to come in with one liners and riddles and word salads. Yes he can be privy to things but the way he dishes his info is odd

he mistakenly responded to a comment with “Calhouns health is the word” that made no sense in the context of anything that was being discussed. I think he just made a mistake but it stuck

Agree with all of this. I also enjoy reading Sam's stuff, but he's right as much as he's wrong. I call BS. Not to say Stevens is "the one", but no way if Brad/Scott's relationship is as deep as most say this was a 5 minute formality Zoom call. It just doesn't add up.

So Sam Story is the Riddler?

It could be but I don't agree with that from knowing some other things that happened last offseason.
