There are some rumblings on the other site that Dolson was seen earlier this week getting one extra scoop of Ice Cream at Jiffy Treat.

We have our guy.

The reaction it garners from a message board. 

I'm largely kidding here. I appreciate everything that is brought to the board based on what people are hearing. At the same time, these posts are a near exact duplication of the narrative from 4 years ago. I will believe it when I see it. If it happens, I'll never have been happier to be wrong.

Four D1 Championships?!!?

Holy crap, McCollum is better than RMK! And he's accomplished these four championships in (checks notes) ZERO years! Impressive.

Yea. McCollum is not our guy. He's more fit for Iowa. 

[VFury 624]

Why is McCollum looked at so highly while Byington and Devries aren't? Mark Byington already made the jump from mid-major and is immediately killing it at Vanderbilt. Darian DeVries was at Drake and was just as good as McCollum is doing now, and is at West Virginia doing a decent job right now. With McCollum, we have no idea what he would look like in a power conference.

A Brad Stevens announcement will be made no later than Tuesday 2/18.

I will give Dolson this.  At least he isn’t shopping from the Archie Miller or Mike Woodson bargain barrel this time it seems.  Feels like my Bears going after Ben Johnson after paying Eberflus half for 3 years.  I want to believe.  No insight to how hands off certain outspoken individuals are behind the scenes.  Been trying to get a feel on that as much as anything.  That will tell us how much freedom Dolson has and what the decision will look like. 

This. I'm tired of the hot mid-major guy and hiring someone just because they went here. Get us a proven winner. Stevens, May, Beard, Drew, Cronin (ducks and hides)...any of them and I'm happy.

I think Scott was able to change the name of the University to Brad Stevens University

I really do not have a clue what is going down during this period.  

Closing the deal is big for both sides.  But in negotiating a contract, the advantage goes to the person that gets the offer.

For instance, if one is offered...the offer means that you are The Chosen One.  You.

Now, the power if you will, goes to the recipient of the offer.  Negotiation can begin knowing I Am The Chosen One.  Evidently, a very unique and precious commodity.

I have always paused after an offer.  

If The Man wants two weeks, and that is what it takes to close The Deal, then two weeks it is.   You want another week? 

Why?

These guys and gals are talking turkey.  No need to hurry it.

If we get BS, I'm sure some on this board including Chris, will be getting baked...

I don't see a new coach announcement before the season ends. I really don't think Brad Stevens would approve of that while the team is in season.

These next few days are going to be long…but looks like I’m jumping on the Brad Train on the next station
