The problem with inside info is that it's only as good as the source. Just like recruiting info that comes from the program, it is likely true that IU felt really good about where it stood. But unless you are hearing similar things from the other side, outcomes like this are always possible.

But we were "led" to believe we were hearing good things from the other side (Brad's Wife)....doesn't seem to be the case

I’m not sure I believe the 3 mil raise. Why should we

I'll say this. If Brad actually used all this hoopla to get himself a big raise in Boston, then I can honestly say that I am glad that we didn't get him. Good riddance. Give me someone who WANTS to build on the legacy here, not just use us for more money. Get lost.

Welp.....there's the dagger in Indiana BBall's blue blood status. At least the football program is on the up and up. Guess I am just destined to not see a strong basketball program. See y'all in 4-5 years after we can the next guy.

Is there any chance Brad is just saying what he is to deflect attention? Trying to trust in our insiders.

Seems as if IUwins pretty much said the gig is up -- he ain't coming. 

[HoosierTownie]

Wow, a lot happened on my drive home form work.  Now I will drink my bourbon in sorrow instead of celebration.  Still hold a glimmer of hope, I mean what else is he supposed to say at this point, but that was difficult to hear.  I trust that Chris and 0708 were passing along what they heard, sucks if it turns out to be wrong, but I appreciate them sharing.

As i said before, I believe in Dolson, he gets it, if he missed here, so be it, at least it sounds like he swung for the fences.

TBH I think Beard and Drew are extreme longshots as well.  $10M donor is going to be underwhelmed with what his/her money bought I'm now thinking.  

done deal.....

Steven’s gave a pretty resounding “no, I’m not considering IU.” Even went as far as to call himself a “masshole who roots for the Patriots.”

We have the hook set so deep in our jaw.  Btown, it has been fun.  Thank you.

I agree. Funny we thought his wife (and agent) was on our side....

Moving on.

In New York there was a reporter who followed the Jets GM till he answered his questions. Even texting him that he saw gm playing with his kids. This is the reason I think if Brad would try to lie to the Boston media. Again grasping but it wouldn’t shock me.

Beard is staying in TX. 
 

John can’t recruit after his thugs comment. 
 

Never should’ve fired Archie.

Or worse we hire somebody decent and only get to the first round of the tournament for 8 years

Vegas has Beard 2-1...

Dolson took his shot. That’s what we all wanted. Brad has to make his own decision. Good luck to Brad and let’s go Dolson go get a winner.
