Darian Devries heading to West Virginia. 

Kinda surprising to me. I thought they were targeting Byington from JMU.

For the Dusty May fans, might not want to read. Rather good read and breakdown. Honestly makes you wonder what the hell the IU Administration is thinking. SMH.

Now Will Wade is being popped up for the Louisville job. This is fun

Seems like a perfect match to me.

Louisville just lost Dusty May to Michigan because Michigan had a stronger @$$ offer.  

[RaceToTheTop 28,154]

May’s contract gives him an average of $3.75 million over 5 years at Michigan.  I’m shocked that Louisville couldn’t beat that.  Kenny Payne’s contract had an average base of $3.375 million.

I wonder if May took less at Michigan than Louisville offered.

Will Kentucky really fire Coach Calipari?  Supposedly, they are having a meeting today. I just don't see it happening. They would have to know that Louisville would hire him immediately and I don't think Kentucky would want Cal in Louisville.

What the heck was the IU administration thinking?

Adam Howard going to UM with Dusty? He changed his twitter pic and bio and retweeted a Dusty to UM tweet. 

Any update on this?

Always.  Watch him kick our @$$ for the next 20 years.  If you have a low opinion of the people who run the show at IU, lower it.

Evidently John Beilein helped the Michigan AD identify 4 candidates: Dusty May, Darian DeVries, Niko Medved, and Amir Abdur-Rahim. All mid- major guys with success.
 

If IU has a similar list next year I bet it’s Abdur-Rahim. He was at Kennesaw State when a certain IU president used to work there. He led them to their first D1 winning record in program history. Hit the ground running in year 1 at South Florida, 25-8 (including post season) and won the AAC regular season. If he backs that up next year, he is our mid major guy imo. 
 

edit: Also beat FAU and Florida State in year 1.

Michigan had an excellent former college coach help identify coaching candidates.  IU has former players that know more about the NBA than the college game make our hiring decisions.  What they say about data is true- garbage in, garbage out.

And what they do know about the NBA isn’t great either, given their track records after their playing days were over.

I wouldn't be mad about that.  Seems like a talented coach.

Thats where I’m at too. Definitely open to him as a possibility, especially if he backs up his first year at USF.

What are the chances we can get Dusty after next season?

Zero. Or something close to it.

I’d guess low. His buyout at Michigan hasn’t been released yet. But why take the Michigan job if you want to go to IU in a year? He doesn’t seem to be that type of guy to me.
