And he probably isn't wrong. Should've been 11-9 if we hadn't completely blown the Nebraska and NW games. In one of the best B1G leagues ever that put 4 teams in the Elite 8. That was with probably 2 B1G caliber players on the whole roster.  No size whatsoever.  No PG.  Honestly somewhat impressive.

I wasn't happy with year 1 obviously but let's see what he can do with a top 25 roster.  I think we'll be very pleased.

I was not a believer at all. Then USPS gave some much-needed perspective, much like you shared, and that helped bring me off the ledge. Now that we’re seeing his recruiting chops some, with that much-needed perspective in hand, I’m beginning to get optimistic again. 

It seems it’s only up from here.

He is actually an IU fan.

Plenty of good players get their coach fired. Hell, I remember when Eric Gordon and DJ White got a really crappy interim coach fired.

At this point I would imagine Dolson was in the big donors’ ears vouching for DeVries, saying stuff something along the lines of “I understand the results were unacceptable, but look, this man can coach. I swear to you. You saw how much talent was lacking on the roster, and he still won 9 games in a stacked B1G.” 
 

Whatever they’re selling, it’s working. Bring us Sherrell, another big or two, a sharpshooting win and a backup PG.

I agree totally. He squeezed about all the juice someone could out of this year. I'm sure staffing came up and I think DD knew his roster sucked but he got what he get.

No chance this is how it went, but I would love to think that Dolson stood in front of some folks who shall be left nameless, and said, “Hey, y’all insisted on giving Woodson that pointless extra year and cost me a shot at May and put us another year behind the eight ball. You did that. DeVries can coach and you owe him and this program every dime and every thing he needs to put this thing back together with no questions asked.”

I know vibes are high and his visit doesnt end until tomorrow. But I'd feel much better with an announcement tonight.

I would love to get Sherrel and Reibe.  We need a true 4 and true 5 to compete in the Big Ten.  Is that being too greedy?

Reibe feels like us or BYU IMO. Think I saw an article saying us, BYU and UK are his top 3.

I really thought he did. Lots of people at IU were saying he did. 

And a very "in house" source at South Alabama and their coaching staff thought so too.

Alright alright alright. 
 

This is Indiana acting like a big bully. #ballingonabudget is now #ballingonabigbudget. 
 

Mustaf is flat intriguing. Harris is a value pick up. Burton is a dude. And if we get Sherrill that’s a boss move. 
 

I love Tiller/Reibe as options. Love them both. Let’s get 1. 
 

Then I like Khamenia a ton for this roster. Not sure if that has any legs but we don’t seem to be done yet on higher ranked guys. 
 

Happy guy today, especially if the Sherrill news is legit.
