He was talking about this with Micheal Lewis today and both said IU needs to get their swagger back. We need to get back to be better than just another program 

You get that back by winning a bunch of games, not by being arrogant with a near .500 record.  Indiana isn't in any place to tell top recruits to commit or else.  The "or else" is likely a better option at the moment and they will say "ok" and go elsewhere.

Would dolson text Stevens one last time? 

 

Stevens wants to coach again. His kids are getting older. He wants to be back home.

You all really fall off after hours.
Come on boys! What’s the skinny? What’s the latest scoop? Who’s got a tidbit or a morsel to pass along? Which way is the wind blowing? What are you hearing?!

I just think it gives Buckner more ammunition. But it’s going to come down to who gives in first. I truly believe that Buckner knows Woody isn’t the answer. 

So I guess go gophers

Go back through the thread like we do?

The Trilly discord, ironically, had some misinformation in it alleging that Trilly had input on Norlander's prediction Woody would be retained. He clarified he did not provide any info on that. He also said he would like to point out that it "wasn't an accident" that one of Norlander's recent articles is a feature on Pearl and his potential landing spots this cycle.

Indiana was not listed in that article, but they do not have an opening. Louisville was, but they don’t have an opening yet either. But I supposed the article being wrong on 02/20 plays a factor.

This thread was created on Feb 3 I believe. The speculation is ongoing... one person suggested that it was BP signaling he'd be open to leaving. I tend to think he wouldn't need to signal publicly to start a back channel conversation, which would lend credence to the idea that BP put that article out with the intention of leveraging AU for what he wants. The fact Trilly says that IU would make the move on Woody with the intention of hiring Pearl, suggests to me that Trilly is saying Pearl's interest in IU is genuine. But to be clear, TD has not directly stated that and it's just my own interpretation. Doesn't exactly address the elephant in the room though

I did! When I saw I had 12 pages to work through I got VERY excited. Now that dinner is over I need everyone to pick up the slack and get me another hit of dopamine!!!

Oh the memories of people posting supposed real estate contracts and plane flights for the Brad Stevens and Billy Donovan to IU craze… lots of similarities here

We don't have X.  We don't know each other.  We're young.  3 of often repeated phrases in post-game comments.

Well Woody, we aren't going to have X at all next year.  If we have to go deep into the portal to fill a roster we aren't going to know each other again next year.  We won't be young at least chronologically.  But that damn hump will still be there.

That’s sort of what I said, he struggled with team leadership and chemistry all season and he made an excuse that his defense takes time to learn, it’s going to be worse with new players every year from the portal.  At least he had some returning players that had played in his system, if he goes the portal way, then his defense will take years to master, lol

Bruce Pearl has been looking at horse farms in Monroe County?

[TTT 907]

I did see Branch McCracken driving through Monrovia this afternoon before I woke up from my afternoon nap.

Saw this article was published a few hours ago. Has some of the tweets that were posted on here earlier in it, so not much else we haven’t seen or heard before. The fact is though, it shows that Bruce being tied to IU is certainly getting out there from more sides than one. 
 

Here’s another one that says about the same thing in a different way:

There is potentially mutual interest between Pearl and IU and the person standing in the way is Quinn Buckner.

Think that about covers it.
