Indy star released an article earlier saying there would be no staff announcement until everyone is final to announce all at once. 

That would be incredibly stupid.

In Trent Sisley's interview with Coyle today, Trent confirmed the obvious -- Tucker Devries is a Hoosier!

It also said the coaches who aren’t announced will steer working behind the scenes. It seems like a weird approach but I don’t think it will handicap anyone.

That would mean they resigned from their current jobs and their school isn’t releasing that or making public which is odd. You can’t be employed by WVU for example and recruit for Indiana.

what is the advantage of waiting here?

With 15 roster spots there isn't much risk in waiting if needed. If the NIL and rev share numbers we're seeing are even accurate, a full scholarship wouldn't even be needed, just up those numbers enough to cover what the scholarship would've.

You still only get 13 scholarships with the roster limit of 15

I think we are going to see a different but better type recruiting at IU than we’ve been used to in a while. 
As we are all aware by now, Coach DeVries wants a cohesive and working locker room. 

I assume he is really doing his research on the players he wants and thinks will fit best into his model.

I haven’t been able to keep up with the recruiting, so not sure who this is in reference to but wanted to put it here.

Preston > tourney 

Frazier > wants WVU job, seems like it’s going to hodge though 

Adams > TBD

Barnett > in running for oral Robert’s job

i think that covers it from what I’ve gathered. 
 

also saw rod Clark’s name floated and he’s also in the tourney 

Osterman also came out with an article today insinuating that there will be no coaching announcements until all spots are filled. In other words, they will announce at the same time. That's not to say that the coaches won't be working behind the scenes even though they haven't been announced yet.

Dude. Did you even read the whole thing before replying? I literally addressed that in the post.

Edit: Rabjohns says it's 15 scholarships.

There have only been two people so far, and they came from WV with him. Everyone will begin working as soon as their team is finished playing, but IU is not going to make an official announcement till the whole staff has been hired.

I also like that approach but hearing it doesn’t move the needle for me (maybe I am becoming a curmudgeon).

He answered the question as he should, so it’s not a knock on DD, but to me it’s “coach speak” in that 98% of coaches would give the same answer.

 

Edit: and of the 2% of coaches that would have given a different answer one of those nameless coaches would have said “I just have to get guys to get us over the hump”.

Right? I literally laughed out loud when I read the comparison to Yogi. 

There are a lot of players who are Yogi's size, but there are very few players who have the same combination of skill and athleticism that he had. Also, Yogi was very strong for his size as well. 

 

 Muggsy Bogues is 6 inches shorter than me.I could have won that dunk contest  The lack of reason in this discussion is pretty damm dumb.

I might have missed it but who are they and have they resigned/signed already?
