I cannot understate how much I like this Trent Sisley tweet.

The kid is a natural born Hoosier.

He’s the type of player that would thrive under Stevens.  Sisley is going to be an all-time favorite Hoosier.

Yes, he very much is. And I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a kid give a staff more mulligans to get his recruitment right. “Hey guys, Coach Painter is at every one of my games. Maybe you can watch me sometime. That would be really cool and I’d, ya know, REALLY appreciate it.”

All do respect to that account, the people who were changing their tune yesterday do not rely on anonymous twitter accounts edging people online. These people are way more connected behind the scenes and get their info from there.

Who was changing their tune yesterday besides the anonymous twitterers?

A few people with inside information on the Trilly discord mainly. Then a post from IUFB on Peegs about smoke. Those few on Trilly had said Brad was a long shot while those on here have said it to be better than a long shot. Those on Trilly came on and said they were now hearing this between Brad and IU were more possible. Not saying it'll happen, but when they were firmly in the not going to happen camp and they are now in the it could happen camp, that is movement in a positive direction. None of these guys get their info from twitter but from real humans who have connections to one side or the other.

Woodson isn’t the main reason, maybe not top 3 or 4 Trent is going to IU.  Watching the recruiting approaches between Woodson & Painter was eye opening to say the least.  At the final in-home, which happened on consecutive days, Painter & staff were there for over 2.5 hours.  The following day Woodson & staff were there for under an hour.  If it was about the coach, Trent would be a Boiler, & his parents LOVE Matt P.  BTW, Matt(Trent’s dad) shared some texts from Painter after Trent let them know it would be IU - all class.

Haha.  ZYN does bball too?  He broke several fball recruiting stories this year.  He has proven himself as legit and is worth following.

Yaeh, during some of the IU transfer stuff, he would pop in and chat with us about what he was hearing. Especially when Spindler went to Nebraska, he came in and told us that was what he was hearing and then it happened.

Yeah, this account has been good with FB recruiting, but I didn't understand what predicting Rich Rod to UWV would have to do with IU basketball or why anyone would have thought that post was in anyway related to Stevens/IUBB etc.

There was more to it than that tweet. That tweet had nothing to do with IU lol

[TTT 1,345]

Behavioral Science says the public silence from Brad Stevens and IU administrators that there is a high probability that the next IU men’s basketball coach will be…..him.

     So because Connie Chung has "no standards" that means what Knight said was okay? 

     I don't mind a hard @$$ coach if it gets results from players-yelling at them at practice or in a game or making them sit on the bench when they screw up, etc...RMK was a basketball savant no question ; however there's absolutely no way you can clean up a misogynistic comment like that-I don't care if he was serious or not; it's still just wrong for a ton of reasons

sorry must be the girl dad in me...

Of course Knight's comment was wrong.  I think he said it because he thought it was funny  He was from the generation that thought people would know he wasn't advocating sexual assault, but making a stupid joke.  Looking back from modern times,  I understand the outrage with what he said.  But I still dislike Connie Chung, I just had to throw that in there.
