That we’re getting a Tier 1 guy

I was going to ask if you heard a tier 1 name from your list or a list from earlier today. I quickly realized that a tier 1 from anyone’s list would be an amazing upgrade and hire.

Stevens and Drew are only one's considered tier 1 i would say correct? I mean sure you could say Otz, Pearl, Oats, but those aren't realistic

I would say everyone you mentioned is tier 1

Has anyone listed various reasons as to why Drew would consider Indiana? We had this discussion after Tom Crean and Archie and now we’re back to Drew as a candidate. 

I understand he’s from Indiana, yes. But he’s been in Waco since 2003. Yes you read that correctly, 2003. Champions in 2020, he has things rolling over in the Big 12.

NIL I’d assume is better at IU

Edit made. Misread your message dangit.

But you’re saying you feel as if it will be one of those??

Big 12 isn’t what it used to be after realignment.

I think the main things are maybe a bigger salary and then money being better in Big Ten/SEC than Big 12 these upcoming years with all of realignment/tv deals/etc. Either Osterman or Galen on CrimsonCast (maybe both) mentioned something about don't be surprised if some Big 12 names pop up this coaching search for the latter reasons

There is talk that the Big Ten and SEC will gobble up the bigger other programs and create two leagues.  Kick everyone out.  Apparently they are already talking about it.

It's frustrating me that I don't remember which pod it was because I listened to one right after the other (I think it was Osterman's Mind Your Banners). Either way, yeah they brought up UCLA was kinda hurting for cash and joining the Big Ten was huge from a money perspective to go along with the Pac12 collapsing in general. Going off what you're saying about Big Ten/SEC gobbling everyone up, if he were to think Baylor would get gobbled up soon then I could see how he might not really care that IU has more resources right this minute.

Seen the argument on here for why Drew could consider us despite turning down Kentucky last year too, not sure if I fully buy it but wouldn't hate him here.

Guessing this may be the flight in question?

Someone walk me through the logic of flying into McCordsville to meet with IU. (Also, Bedford is not the regional airport closest to Brad’s house.)

Are you referring to Zeller? Didn't he go to one game or did I miss something? 

He’s been around more than one game. And his digital footprint. And his scouting at a non-IU game. Yes, scouting. There are cover stories but there are also small things that add up. And yes my tinfoil hat is on tight tight.

Yeah him “scouting a player for hulls” was suspicious lol

Everyone keeps mentioning leaks and we've got a picture of a dam with a giant crack

... but I don't see the leaks on this board! What is going on?? lol I come here to (hopefully) find some info, not get edged into oblivion

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

I don't know about Indiana going after Collins, but if I am Miami, Virginia, Florida State then I am giving him a call. Honestly, if I am Cincinnati or Syracuse, I am giving him a call and probably making a change real quick.

Don't come for the leaks itself but what the leaks represent.  Hope.
