This is the angle, who Ben is following.  I'll keep saying it though, who knows...

Wasn’t there some rumor on here like a week ago he was checking out or our recruits?

 

hopefully not recruiting him to Iowa

I'll stand my ground on this. IF it's not Brad then it's another BIG name.

Not sure.  Sisley would be a tough kid to poach given how much he loves IU, but who knows.  Honestly posting about who is following who is fairly embarrassing lol.

Board might break today.

My homepage shows that BTownBanners is approaching 1M total posts… seems likely we will surpass that milestone when the announcement is made or shortly after

I tried to search for something specific and I swear I heard the board whisper “kill me”.

Define your terms: a big name to people who eat and sleep basketball or a big name to people who pay attention to their favorite team and then watch the Final Four?

I think it’s more likely McCollum and him have connected.  They follow each other.  Sisley follows Brownell and Beard.  I highly doubt he really knew who Brownell was 4 weeks ago.  Beard?  Probably, but he isn’t following any other coaches.  So I assume he is paying attention to this site and others. 

On this point as well, McCollum follows no other Hoosiers players or commits.  Beard and Brownell follow no IU players or commits.  Beard follows our Russian asset Benny Johnson on down to Sage and DD.  That’s as far left as his follower list goes.  Follows IU soccer and ITH, but otherwise mainly right wing figures as much as college hoops people.  No way could he live north of the Mason-Dixon.  Brownell is sort of all over the place.  McCollum seems to be more deliberate with whom he follows.

Plane guy who Stu (i think) said was reliable said the Clark county flight isn’t until tomorrow  (this is if I’m remembering everything correctly). So thinking possible legit leak today followed by the IU announcement tomorrow? Just thinking aloud.

He told me hes on the road and would be out most of the day

He received a ride request from the Uber app to pick up someone at Clark County airport.

IF it's Brad Stevens, I'll be thrilled. But a big part of me just wants to watch the collective college basketball media eat **it. 

Goodman and the rest of Field of 68, Sleepers, Rabjohns, and everyone else covering the sport went from "You gotta call Brad and make him say no" to "Of course Brad Stevens would never take the Indiana job and IU fans are morons for thinking it was ever possible" real quick.

God let it happen. It would be so sweet.

Maybe they meant tomorrow in Australian time. Which it already is.

@Magnanimous you’ve said the new coach’s first name starts with a B. Last name doesn’t start with a B. 

Do you think an announcement is likely before the tournament starts?
