I’ll also add: if this signing was made today or very recently, I highly doubt it’s someone currently coaching in the tournament. Which leads me to believe it isn’t a current college coach. Which leads me to a few names: Brad Stevens, Jay Wright, Tony Bennett, and Billy Donovan. I only find Stevens and Donovan to be particularly likely of those two.

I could be dead wrong. Just sharing my theories. Carry on.

I think not only if it was just signed, but the leaks that are coming out now around it.

Could be DeVries too, to be fair.

Chris Collins would probably do fairly well at IU- I don’t k ow why I think that lol.

That’s doubtful unless they can get their spend up. I really wish I would’ve saved this tweet but somebody broke down the tournament teams by last years spending. UF was below average at less than $8mil. Tops was 22mil and IU would’ve been in the top 5. 
 

Maybe it shakes out differently, but some of those coaches are gonna learn what it means to be a football school. 

Maybe he'll take the IU job when we're doing this again in 4 years. lol

I have turned on my twitter notifications for Shams and Zach. We’ll find out by Thursday evening if it’s indeed an available candidate. 

Why wait until Thursday though? Why not tomorrow or Wednesday if it’s not a coach in the tournament?

The Woodson thread got locked.

Edit: It looks like it's been unlocked. Never mind.

McCollum strikes as more Coach K. I still don't think he's gonna jump at money for us? 

Wade is Pitino and Beard is Sampson. Bucky McMillan might be Pearl. 

I haven't seen Wade's teams, but is Wade that good?

Because he’s a terrific coach who kept his head above water at a program that’s not built to win at the B1G level.

It's more than just money.  Drake has 3 losses...30-3...and got an 11 seed.  That's gotta be frustrating to him.  He knows Drake has a ceiling that IU does not.  Postseason success is limited at Drake.  It's time to jump.  The money is secondary

It doesn't compute like that for me. He could've jumped to a better job then Drake after the 38-0 team. He had several good players obviously that could've came with him then. He wasn't interested then he when he does jump it's Drake Iowa to make a one year spring board to the ultimate nut cracker us. I'm not saying you're wrong, it seems like it's an odd plan for a guy up to now that's been very particular.

Could be tomorrow, I’m just saying we’d probably hear of something by Thursday if it’s a candidate not currently coaching.

It’s possible but remember IU thought they were going to have a game this week. All involved were not planning on an earlier announcement.

Young Pitino, and had he not got caught doing young Pitino like stuff, he would be very far along. There's a Wade YouTube clip to him reacting to a sloppy win at LSU that you would like.b

If an agreement were in place, I’d assume the plan for announcing it would have a contingency for if we don’t make the tournament considering the timing of the portal opening, pre-tournament news cycle, time to build out staff, etc. IMO… especially since it wasn’t so far fetched that we’d miss the tournament.
