With news seemingly impending at any moment, it’s likely that any information that drops in the coming day(s), credible or otherwise, will lead to intense reactions. Don’t forget to wait for confirmation of any rumor you see. Keep your wits about you, fellas. We’re almost there.

What did I JUST say??

This doesn't smell right.

Same pattern of agent driven stuff. Beard, Brownell, McCollum, now DeVries.

Thats exactly what it is. Let's not forget what Zach said yesterday on his Podcast. This smells very similar to the left field Kelvin Sampson hire according to him.

Yeah yesterday it was journalists know nothing and now today we are supposed to believe journalists know it is Devries?

Some of you act like IU can just go out there and just get any coach out there. It is a two way street and we can't make a certain coach want to coach here. Hasn't the last few years of coaching cycles proven to you that big fish don't leave their current jobs

...if Dolson has had his man and is contracted.....I'm sure he's having fun with the IU fans and guys like Goodman.

"DeVries would have made the tournament if his son was not out"........."They won plenty of games without his son".....Ya cant have it both ways.

They should have been in the tournament regardless of his son’s injury status who hadn’t played since December. They had more Q1 wins without Tucker than UNC did the entire season. WVU was absolutely jobbed by the committee. They should have been a 9 seed, at worst a 10.

Agents are agenting

So we're battling for coaches with Iowa? That's where IU basketball is at these days, huh. Yikes. 

Yes, I know DeVries and McCollum are Iowa natives but still. A harsh reality check. 

Remember how far down the list Kentucky and Louisville had to go last year? That's us this year. Don't run for the bomb shelter just yet. We may actually live through this.

If we're batting IOWA baskeball for someone who hasn't made it out of the first round of the tournament....IU basketball is lower than any of us would like to admit. Just deflating.

They are both very good coaches who also happen to be from Iowa. No big deal.

Well, I guess the Gov of WVU is going to handle that issue. lol

There aren't very many agents left to agent. 

Is there another coaching search that has gotten so many guys extensions or raises?

That’s what I’m thinking, I wouldn’t mind Devries at all, but I’m also trying to figure it out too lol

. I agree not a HR or Grand Slam

Not a HR for some but where IU is at as a program now and as someone who has watched him close for a very long time and have mentioned him multiple times throughout the years in the college basketball thread he would definitely be a HR for me. Fantastic young college basketball coach

I wouldn't consider Pat Kelsey to be very far down a list.

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 10,958]

DeVries seems less qualified than Crean. 

He seems like a leadoff single.
