HoosierHuddle Posted March 18 Posted March 18 6 minutes ago, SlammySammy said: So, without his son, he's ****? If thats the case, we are putting too much stock in the dude other than what he did at Drake....and I will say McCollum much more impressive run at Drake...and he does not have to worry about his son being on the team I just don't agree with you. I'm not saying DeVries is the best coach in the country but he's really quite good. He was an assistant at Creighton for a long time (both Altman and McDermott). West Virginia was dreadful before DeVries arrived and then went 10-10 in the very tough Big 12 this season and that was without Tucker DeVries playing a conference game. Without his son, WVU still beat Kansas at Phog Allen and Iowa State (when they were #2). With Tucker DeVries, they beat Gonzaga and Arizona in Atlantis and took Louisville to overtime. That's pretty darn good for a first-year in a power conference and a first year of a major rebuild. In addition, he landed three four-star recruits at West Virginia...not bad at all. cybergates, Stuhoo, go iu bb and 1 other 4

Popular Post Stuhoo Posted March 18 Popular Post Posted March 18 13 minutes ago, mdiu28 said: 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. Not saying that Devries is the guy, but if he is? We didn't battle Iowa for Devries, we beat out Iowa in a battle for Devries. Kinda like if there's a high-level recruit from Iowa that we won. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but Iowa has been a slightly better basketball program than Indiana over the last decade. mdn82, Silat Player, 8bucks and 14 others 17

Popular Post Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 18 Popular Post Posted March 18 Barring an absolute miracle, there is no big fish coming to Bloomington and it's clear that not everyone will be happy with whoever the next coach is. But this is where we're at. You can cite all you want about our tradition, our resources, our facilities, our NIL, but this is who we are and who we've been for far too many years. Overall B1G Tom Crean 166-135 (55%) 71-91 (44%) Archie Miller 67-58 (54% 33-44 (43%) Mike Woodson 82-53 (61%) 41-39 (52%) thebigweave, Home Jersey, fwgreenway and 12 others 13 1 1

AZ Hoosier Posted March 18 Posted March 18 33 minutes ago, Rusty Shackleford said: 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. I'm more of the thought that Goodman doesn't know d!ck and is just throwing stuff at the wall hoping for a winner. The dude is somewhat connected, but he's pretty troll-ish. pumpfake and go iu bb 2

go iu bb Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Rabby says he's hearing that DeVries will be meeting with his AD today. That is interesting but it doesn't really mean anything. It could be to inform the AD that he's taking another job (either IU or Iowa) or that he's staying at WV. Rusty Shackleford 1
