Guard Jonathan Powell from WVU follows Cupps, Brian Walsh and Ya as some more recent followers.  

Guard Javon Small from WVU follows Galloway and Sisley with Gallo being much more recent than Sisley

Also, small is from Indiana

I just don’t get the appeal with him 

He’s not Brownell?

Would be super excited to hire a coach with limited experience and zero games won in the NCAA tournament, ever.

shew... you just convinced me it's not DD. Shew

BUuuuuut... he did win one tourney game, a play-in game. So he's Woodson lol

Way to lay down the gauntlet again, Goodman. Man I just can't stand him. I don't even like to look at him. Here will be his next 10 posts: Probably, Possibly, Apparently, Seemingly, Presumably, Supposedly, Ostensibly, Conceivably, Arguably, Potentially. Got it, Goodman. Looking like Thanks.

No way I would pick Devries over McCollum unless MCCollum said he was not interested

[bigrod 3,058]

OK trying to get caught up. The deal was done 2 days ago, but its not done yet. The coach's name starts with a B, but Devries is the top candidate. A space ship has been sent to pick up the new coach, but he's still in the tournament. Its a big fish, but on the smaller side. What have I missed? Wnk, wink...

By God, no he is not Woodson.  Devries would be an excellent coach.

The difference being that today or tomorrow could be THE day, and he is one of only five or six possibilities that could actually appear in Bloomington today or tomorrow.

This is true but Goodman putting this out makes me think it's more agent peddled stuff. We know DeVries is closely linked to Iowa. The clock is ticking now. Could very well be leverage to get higher salary and/or better NIL guarantees from Iowa.

Could definitely be wrong. DeVries wouldn't be a terrible hire for IU.

[hper50 1,619]

DeVries chatter still feels like a leverage play to me. Especially with G**dman leaving the door open for the mystery candidate so he can avoid being wrong.

[HoosierFan1994 5,111]

Yeah, it's extremely odd Goodman keeps saying "mystery candidate". Covers all options for him. We shall find out soon.

Heading out for a couple hours...trust you guys will have it all resolved by the time I get back!

Huge plus right off the bat. Regardless of who's they are, it's comforting knowing who they aren't.

Pretty much covered it

[SlammySammy 1,684]

For what its worth, WVU AD said in interviews yesterday that he does not think Devries is going anywhere and that they had talked recently about the program.

At this point, a "mystery date...I mean coach" sounds pretty good.

[Bowhunter 3,063]

I was hoping for a bigger fish. I’d rather go after a coach in the tournament if not Stevens
