Yep we’ll see. We know he beat out UK for Wilkerson. That’s actual head to head recruiting so far. Personally I think he demonstrated good coaching acumen, and he brings an established history of building teams up. He disappointed for sure in the end of season collapse but how much of that was on the lack of depth of talent? 
Very interested to see how the portal recruiting goes, what players are emphasized, how big a role and impact does Carr play and bring, what other changes in approach will we see? Big off season. Needs to score some real impact players

What off the court?  The fact that he tried to get two really high end assistant coaches last year?  The fact he got on a plane early in the morning to make one final pitch to Wilkerson to get him from Kentucky?  The fact he's at tons of these AAU tournaments this season?  The fact that he stole a big recruiter from Louisville?

The fact he tried for so many elite 26s and didn’t land a single one.

The fact his scout led to recruiting and building a team that was never going to be good. He built an entire team.  Recruited 1 good player.

I can't believe this needs to be explained? Lol

Dude, we get it, you haven't liked Devries from the jump. No, this past year wasn't good enough. But let's just wait and see how this portal season turns out. We'll know where the program stands in a month.

Some thought a program with 4 winning conference records in 18 years with a new head coach should of landing more elite 26 kids that they probably spent less then a  month at most to recruit compared to other programs recruiting the same kids for longer.   Is what it is.  Some still think IU basketball is what it was in the 80s and 90s.  It’s not

I am willing to give CDV another year to prove he is a top coach, because IU deserves a top coach, the program has the history and fanbase to warrant a very high level of success going forward. I have already took a few shots at the guy after disappointing losses, but I really want him to succeed....as fun as the coaching search threads are, we need to find a coach for the long term soon!
