Well @RoadToZion is pretty damn certain that we are. But has not said which Brad, and there are two.

How about Brad #3… Brad Underwood.

He’s gone 80-39 at Illinois the last 5 years in the Big Ten.  He won a conference title in ‘22 and finished second in ‘21 and ‘24. He went to the elite 8 last year.  Brad #3 has a sustained track record of success in the Big Ten.  I’d take him over many of the other names being floated.

That $30million+ buyout would even make Ned and Fuzzy blush.

Thad Matta... off the list. 

It is painful watching him physically struggle on the sidelines

Nope just would be kicking McDermott out at the next delivery point if it means we land Otzelberger.   

Did you take a wrong turn today on your route today, find yourself on the other side of town and get some  intel?

Darkhorse candidate? He's been a pretty successful coach and midwestern guy. Not sure on the falling out with louisville? 

There in lies the problem with Mack. The expectations and pressure of the job wore him down. It was reported that Louisville and Mack had a mutual agreement to separate. They were not having a good start, Mack was suspended to start the season and they were coming off a season with no NCAA Tournament.

I’d pitch in $5 if we want to raise money to encourage JerryYeagley to say something…I have a feeling he knows exactly what’s going on.

Yesterday was wild and I wondered how today would be in here. It has definitely been different, but has not disappointed. 

Have definitely been hearing some names that weren't on my bingo card. LOL

Who isn't a candidate. From the huss buss to turgeon to drew we got it all covered. Mid majors to nba to high manors to division 2 legends. Dolson must have 35 interviews setup by now. Kind of surprised no high school coaches have been brought up yet.

While he's an excellent poster and can speak for himself... I have a feeling he doesn't know what's going on and doesn't want to get bludgeoned with questions that he isn't able to answer.

But that's just my take.

Just talked to my Bloomington lawyer and ask him if he had any inside information on our new coach. He said he had a friend who was a good friend of Dolson that usually gave him information but said he had been totally quiet on this search. I tried

Ask him harder

FSU hired a 34 year old former player with only NBA assistant coaching experience? Home run.

Pretty sure he’s the dude that went nuclear from 3 to help FSU beat Duke enroute to an ACC tourney championship. 2012ish maybe? I’m sure the Post Office can correct that, but I recognized his odd name lol

Not class notes, but I sent my daughter Zappa's "Watermelon in Easter Hay" (one of the most beautiful songs ever). She listened to it while, um, blazing- the spoken word intro freaked her out lol!!!!

This is the central scrutinizer…

That is awesome. I can definitely understand why that would freak her out.

[Hornsby]

Florida hired an NBA guy. Man when will these schools learn these nba guys almost always fail.
