This is a bet for RTZ, thanks.  People that have info on what’s gonna happen would bet on it, btw…

Ummm….you are wanting to bet him on it which by your logic means you have info.

Dolson has his guy

For better or worse, all signs point to this. Crossing my fingers it’s for better!

Maybe. My experience is only one experience. Maybe IU is doing this, and you definitely have more insight into how IU specially operates (i mean that genuinely). 

Seems like an utter waste of unnecessary time, though. Not sure why people that don't know anything anyways would need to be coordinated to drip misinformation to donors. Just seems silly. 

Maybe due to past history of previous coaching searches...

Nobody trending today. Interesting. 

It is interesting. Villanova opens and it's immediately rumored that Collins leads for the job and that there is mutual interest. Crickets about the IU opening except for guessing. No mentions of mutual interest with anyone..

Tyme has been hinting that Wade wants the IU job. I think at least he’d like to drive his price up

Yes Tyme has told me that Wade hasn’t hidden that his order is Indiana, Texas and the NC State

Well probably because NW is done.  If our guy is still coaching it's obvious why everyone would want to keep things quiet until their season is over.

1000%. Our fans track planes...

Can anyone with info give any sort of explanation why we refuse to reach out to Will Wade?

Im all aboard the Wade train.  Was the NCAA poster boy for getting caught doing what everyone else was already doing and its all free game now.  If its not someone like Brad or Bruce i think Wade is the best option, young, knows how to work the NIL, and has been successful, i think hed kill it here.

One of his recent interviews he describes what it would take for him to leave, and it all fits IU to a T

[TheWatShot]

Clearly we just need some posters to start talking in absolutes about our new coach. That will draw the attention of outsiders, who will start talking about it, and our fans will then see them talking about it and assume they heard it someplace else.

True...good point.

Within the last hour Trilly has said, “We continue to hear that Will Wade is still trying to get in at Indiana.” 
 

Who knows…

Lmao if Wade wants the job and Dolson gives us Brad Brownell then Brownell’s introductory press conference should be Dolson’s resignation press conference.

I don't think Scott is that stupid.  

[LamarCheeks]

A certain poster (who shall remain nameless) has quite the crush on Will Wade ...

That's odd since we're told we're delusional for thinking IU might be a somewhat desirable job.

Feels like Trilly doesn’t know anything about IU’s opening lol

Thus Rabby.  That’s his main connect imo

@BGleas if I remember correctly you played Bball at the D2 level right?  What are your thoughts about McCollum making a jump from D2 to Drake to a P4 school?   I watched his game against Duke on YouTube yesterday and was impressed with how his D2 team played. 

Yup, played D2. I'm not going to say that I wouldn't have reservations about McCollum making a D2 to mid-major to blueblood move in one year. I think it's a valid concern. Coaching D2 and IU are completely different things. 

But with that said, the guy just seems like a winner. 4 (many people think it would have 5 the Covid year) National Championships and then a historic year in his first year at Drake tells me McCollum has something special and can flat-out coach. 

Obviously there are proven guys I'd take ahead of him, but I think if you can coach, build identity and culture, and are a winner, then you should be able to win at IU. 

He's not my #1 choice by any means, but if the top guys aren't interested, I would very much be in favor McCollum over some of the retread (Buzz, Cronin) guys or someone like Brownell.

McCollum seems to have an "it" factor.

For better or worse we’ll find out soon. This is his chance to show us he’s not just an empty suit doing other people’s bidding. I don’t think he’s stupid. I just think he’s weak.

Buzz or Cronin over mccullum for me. But I'm guessing iu won't pursue those two they would probably take bb first and let him cook

Is anyone still projecting us to be in the tournament? I know ESPN has us as the first team OUT.

[IU_FanClub]

The FBI stuff doesn’t bother me I’d like Will Wade to make some strong @$$ offers for us
