Hypothetically in 3 weeks if Beard was the guy and he was ousted; you can't announce him with half of the fan base still thinking you have a realistic shot at Brad Stevens. That's rain on the parade.

Sure, if I squint really hard and look for "Brad Crumbs" I can concoct a scenario where it is plausible. I just find it much more likely that this is a replay of Billy Donovan all over again. The most compelling piece of "evidence" so far is Brad's presser before the Jazz game. He seemed like someone really considering what it would be like to come home. The timing seems right from an outsider's perspective. I don't find it unreasonable that Stevens would consider IU. I just think that the excitement is way overblown for the evidence presented. In other words, quit getting me excited that this might happen, my kids keep asking me why my eyes are watering! If you think that is the only piece of evidence than I can’t help you.

FritzIam4IU Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 So I just got back from getting my first COVID shot, and I was sure while I was away the Brad coming to IU news would have came out and I would have to sift through a 100 pages of posts. Now I will go back to my regularly not getting any work done and hitting refresh every couple minutes. Chris007 and lillurk 2
Kentuckysucks Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I think something breaks tomorrow or Saturday if it's going to happen. Just my guess. If they really have reached a deal something has to come out. Ainge would have to be aware and I doubt he would want a coach that's about to bolt.

Dayton's last game that year was the 17th. I think having a college coach you are chasing can play with the timeline a bit too. Additionally, based on rumors, I don't think the decision to fire Crean was in the works as long as this was. It could be tomorrow, it could be June.

I was holding back telling my wife stevens was a possibility but I caved in and said you were saying it is likely so I believe it will happen!Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Chris007, lillurk, JaybobHoosier and 1 other 4

Could be Monopoly too. Almost all the talk is about Brad Stevens, $49 million... Seems he has Boardwalk, Park Place and the greens and the railroads all sewn up. ray and Indiana8585 2

It would be the worst kept secret in history. I would venture a guess that it will come out sometime in the next week. If lawyers are involved ironing out details it could definitely be a few days (or more). IUFLA and go iu bb 2

It's not a slight toward any of the insiders in here or anything. It's just that the Billy Donovan fiasco plus our general bad luck over the past two decades has me not believing something this good could actually happen to us.

I’ve laid out exactly what had gone on for the last month. This has been in the works for a while. I said that it was the most compelling piece of evidence, not the only piece. I don't keep tabs on success rates of insider tips in this forum. People really respect you. I certainly take that into consideration, and I am not accusing you of saying anything that you don't believe to be true. I know several guys who work in the NFL, they are very connected, but information that they get is still often wrong, or significantly premature. To your further credit both you and IUwins have stated that things could change. I respect that. I heard that the Ravens were signing Colin Kaepernick from the guy who was putting the name on the back of the jersey. It doesn’t get much more certain than that. Then his GF made a tweet and the Ravens backed out. The full story didn't come out for months. In your opinion, outside of your personal source, what is the most compelling corroborating evidence for Stevens to IU? rcbowla, IUsafety, go iu bb and 2 others 5
