[HoosierInParadise]

So how long before we start hearing about his staff?

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

So if this guy turn’s out to be a homerun what kind of respect does Dolson get

I hope Scott is comfortable disrobing and striking a pose.

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.

How about 3D.

 

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.

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.

If this $2million number floating around for Freeman is real, that can be someone else's problem imo. And I say that as someone not at all opposed to dropping a giant bag on a kid.

His packline defense finished 14th in defensive efficiency.  That would be ius best finish in 9 years and probably more

Seeing that his daughter plays in high school, I bet that he will be very supportive of Teri Moren.

Bloomington South just went to the semi-state and returned a lot of players including Fife's daughter. They add her and that is a pretty good squad.
