Sounds like West Virginia tried to extend him in February with a nice raise and increased NIL budget and he still chose us. I love getting a guy that really wants to be here

So how long before we start hearing about his staff?

This might be a dumb question, but how are we pronouncing his first name? DARE - en? DARE -- ee -- uhn? I thought it was the latter but the press conference has me second-guessing. 

I asked the same question earlier -- because I heard it both ways. 

it's just like the name "Darren" 

I think the "I" in his first name -- though silent -- stands for Indiana! LOL. 

(Why the pronouncation of his name makes me laugh is some dude went on a profane rant about D-Rock leaving WVU -- it's in this thread soemwhere. He kept calling him "Dare -- ee -- in." ... Now, I'm thinking -- Dude, if you don't even know his name, you've no right to be so huffy!)

Should someone start tracking flights?

I bet he already has his guys, and they have verballed or signed or something.  Big question is do we get a new strength and conditional guy, LOL

If Chester Frasier comes here as an assistant, we need to make sure Eric Gordon is at that first game to greet him at half court. Would love to see the reaction from Illinois fans as they disown CF...

Dolson got us Cig.  This hire won’t doom his legacy 

Not to mention the fact it was Dolson who blocked a 5th year for Woodson after the guy wanted "assurances" up front. 

And after this, I'm even more convinced he had his hands more or less tied when it came to hiring Woodson. This guy describing a systematic, well-researched hiring process focused on the collegiate basketball environment is not the same guy that 100% said, "1st option said no? Luckily we can get Mike Woodson as 1b!"

Double D sounds a bit erotic. I like triple D better.

We can say we see things much better in 3D

The same Tyme that guaranteed BB. It's crazy we got a home run of a coach and people want to talk about me. I'm not this popular at my house.

If anyone watched that presser today and thought let's talk about some jacka$$ on BTB then that's crazy.

We have a chance to build something amazing here right now

When Devries was announced that's exactly what I thought. I hold Chris007, a person who I don't even know exists in the real world, accountable for grossly misleading me in a college basketball coaching search and my life is ruined. Thanks for nothing Chris007! I'll send you my therapy bills and they will be extensive!

I never believed the BS hype myself, but nothing was done maliciously IMO. In fact Chris and some others seemed to really be having a lot fun with the whole experience and circus atmosphere this fanbase can provide. I don't know about true/false whatever but it's just whatever. This is the internet for God's sake.

Finally got to watch, and all I can say is that first 25+ win regular season is gonna hit like absolute crack.

Recruiting is about to be so fun again.

ok guys...... He's winning the press conference......  That man is motivated to win.  I'm quickly warming up.  Getting pumped up to see what his recruiting chops will look like.  

We got Wayne back, fam. We need you on board! Would hate for you to miss the fun

Do you think DRock is going to have to be told to get out to high school games?  Do you think he is going to be a jerk to the Womens basketball team?  

Thank goodness for a breath of fresh air into this program

Let’s go. Tucker and Powell first, anyone else our new coach likes is welcome too, those are just my two biggest ones at the moment

I agree with Hansberry and Harris but that will require Chester Frazier wanting to come to IU. He has a recruit, Kelvin Odih that just decommited. I like him alot. He needs to pull a Greenfield miracle and call Owen Freeman. Then figure out if he can turn Rice into JVon Small.  There's some hope here. Better than Brownell. For what that's worth.

Can someone tell me more about what he runs offensively and defensively? @Uspshoosier?

I saw the packline video and that makes me a little scared.
