Why are so many people close to the situation saying Scott has his guy if he just started his search

Why did Woodson say he did his job?

Cause it makes you stop asking?

I have 30 pages to catch up on and I don’t think I have it in me this time. I’m going to jump a head. I’m assuming 1555 to 1585 is more of the same fun stuff with really no new info.  If there is would someone please be a gem and give me the cliff notes?

McCollum.  I have said that for over a month.  He was contacted early on.  I know someone there.  There were multiple discussions.  We did talk to him about his wants and needs.  I don’t know anything on the IU side though.

Not asking they are happy to tell, just can't say the name

To me, McCollum is maybe the most intriguing ‘what if’ candidate. Seems like the upside is astronomical, just no idea what his floor looks like being in charge of a D1 behemoth of a program. I’ve watched some Drake since Woody got canned and the deliberate offense isn’t nearly as mind numbing as I thought it would be just looking on paper. Ultimately I’d be pretty surprised if Dolson risked it on a guy with exactly zero Q1 experience but who knows.

Can't say it because it's hard to pronounce?  Must be Coach K.

Great additional point!

Everything I posted about reasons for secrecy can absolutely signify that Scott already has his guy. 

I am purely explaining the need for secrecy; because that need for secrecy could mean that he has his guy, or that he does not yet.

Would definitely fit the Cignetti-type hire for Dolson on the basketball side...I'd get behind it but I'm just not sure it's the risk IU should take.

Did McCollum indicate he wanted the job?

Of COURSE McCollum would want this job.

Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to IU new basketball coach, Bruce Weber!

If Dolson hires him, the prophecy will once again ring true:

Quote

– Weber, on the Big Ten race: “The league should be wide open... I do know one thing, though. I think Indiana will suck. Don’t put that on the Internet.”

Iowa kid through and through.  Some wanted out, I don’t think he does.
