Yes, we were in deep talks until Drew got promises of more NIL at Baylor. funny that you responded to my DM saying everything you've heard from those you trust around campus is it will be Drew too. 

I gave 5 names, Stevens (don't refute we inquired, but he directly said NO again), Drew (mutual interest til there wasn't), Otz (mutual interest til there wasn't), Mccollum (speaking to him now), and Beard (fully vetted and said no to him). We don't have a coach signed yet. I don't know who the next coach will be at this hour because no coach has been selected by Scott. 

Since it's known the 5 coaches i mentioned had or since have been spoken to/vetted, would love for someone to tell me where exactly my info was wrong at the time. It appears my info has been the only credible info provided to this board in weeks, which was Scott's original list of names

- Jackal

How exactly would you prove that ‘only your info is credible’?  Sounds like special pleading.

The Banta Road I'm (very) familiar with is in Marion County.  Center Grove is in Johnson County.  I think there's a town further south called Banta - maybe a different Banta Road?

There's a Banta Road in Marion County (I live near it) but there's also a Banta in the Bargersville area (where I grew up). I'm pretty familiar with the area and have some friends in the homebuilding and realty business. I'll ask around and see if anyone knows anything.

Edit: Realtor friend just texted me back rather immediately with "I'm not asking about that, don't be ridiculous."

Well because obviously the only reason Brad would go watch his son’s team play is if he has decided to be the next IU basketball coach.

Just so you guys know, there is at least one, person within the athletic office who has perused this board today, and are thoroughly laughing their @$$ off at some of this stuff. Keep it up, some of you making quite the name for yourself lol

Now who is going to pose as Brad Stevens and call and ask for the listing agent?

You have to look closely but when you zoom in on the slide...

Closing on 4/25 but I don't know who the buyer is. It's through an LLC

Yep, buyer is white whale,.llc

Should probably note as well, if you look up symbolism of a Jackal it doesn't exactly scream "trustworthy truth teller randomly coming and going to a free anonymous message board with good intentions". Interesting choice of a username for someone not trolling

 

If anyone wants us to believe them like Chris (who faces the music when wrong, gives actual reasoning/details for why he says things) because you actually have info or just want to troll some strangers, at least put in some effort to build up trust

I don't think anyone would have to say "Hey Chris this is about Bradley Stevens" to understand that the level of money and tradecraft involved would only apply to one candidate lol. You wouldn't have to be a rocket surgeon to connect those dots from a source without naming names. 

And I say this as someone who thinks the Stevens ship probably sailed, but obviously something around the IU bubble is still fishy related to this hire. Whether that is Stevens or someone else who knows. 

What is fishy? It’s very unusual to make a hire this early. This is par for the course. They’re very likely waiting on a certain coach’s seasons to be over.

On the flip side, he gets very intelligent guys who are also good at basketball. Since they're not as highly ranked, they probably don't have much of the egos and hangers-on to deal with.

How would he do with players who are better at basketball but not as intelligent? How would he do with all the crap that comes with high level recruits?

He dealt with high level recruits at Duke for umpteen years.

I would say that if indeed the AD office openly mocks the fans here, I can see why the program is in a mess BUT we are kinda mock-worthy today so I shall embrace....
