Not even close to being able to keep them however if they all stayed he would be at the top of the hot board if they had a year like they had the year before.  He had to move on as well.  ISU can’t pay what everyone that left ended up getting 

I have no inside info, but he’s someone I could understand taking a chance on. Not at the top, but one at the mid-major level that I like.

Supposedly a 2nd meeting is going to take place today or tomorrow with Will Wade and NC State admin ……….. 
 

 

But but but Kathy told us that coaches and ADs don’t talk during the season it’s all through 3rd parties !!!

Peegs: Darian DeVries is the No. 1 option for Iowa. Rumors say he is worried about Iowa's NIL, but if they make a commitment to that, DeVries will be the next Iowa coach.

If they can't get DeVries, they will immediately put the full-court press on McCollum.

WVU seems squarely on the bubble to me so there’s a chance Iowa could make this happen very quickly if WVU is left out in the cold and DeVries really is their guy

What did Cashy really even say here?

Indiana is talking to many people, doing due diligence. Active coaches are in communication through agents or other reps.

Duh. This is every coaching hire everywhere in college basketball, college football, NBA, NFL, etc. Cashy has offered nothing here at Btown Banners but judgement of the fans and a big, wet blanket.

I cannot understand why people engage with her so much.  She does not answer questions directly and does not really bring anything new.  Ignore

how is it this job opened up 5 minutes ago and Peegs already has inside information on who is ready to take the job if certain demands are met .... yet when it comes to IUBB .... they're like....

Better stick with Woody and keep going 19-13. He'll figure it out before he's 70.

Should we be settle with hiring Iowa's backup? 

Not trying to be snarky...but I still feel like we can shoot hire than that.

We don't want Brownell or Iowa's leftovers, aka McCollum!

What question haven’t I answered? I don’t post everything I know, but I haven’t dodged any questions.

Many of us would be happy with McCollum coming to IU.

I wish I could "heart" this a thousand times. Why feed into a condescending troll who just disguises vague / nothing info with ChatGPT lawyer speak??

DeVries gets the nod over McCollum because he is from Iowa and has experience in the P5 at WVU now, along with an impressive stint at Drake too. IMO he is like their TJ Otz this cycle... they want him, maybe mutual interest or maybe a leverage play. They would have to pay ~4.5M for his buyout + 3M or more in salary. Not to mention NIL. I don't think they're willing to spend for that. 

McCollum is as good as Indiana or Iowa can realistically hope to do this cycle. Unfortunately for us, he is from there, so will probably choose to stay home and kick our tail for the next 20 years.

Brad will hold off on telling Boston staff he is leaving until IU is out of tournament. Dolson and brad agreed it's not fair to the current players to make a distraction during the run. As I said earlier day after we are out we will make the announcement the following morning. Brad will also be in person for announcement. My guess is it gets leaked to shams night or early morning and he will release to public assuming dolson doesn't leak it before then. For those who love flight tracking look for flights to the night or very early am after we lose. 

Isaac, I tried to warn you bro! When you said a couple weeks ago that if Osterman didn't tweet news by noon, no one should ever trust you again, then people are going to take that literally.

That's basic trolling 101, my man.
