I just moved back to Indiana from Kentucky 

A lot of us going a phase where we are slumming it. Most of us just date women that are unhinged not go completely off the rails like you.

I once married, many years ago, a woman who was a little unhinged and it was a little exciting. Then she went completely off the rails and it sucked.

Didn't know if anyone saw this, SIAP. Looks like CDD has the support of some of the "lesser" moneybags out there.

You sent it to Hoosier Connect, not Hinny Connect. I appreciate the thought though. Good man.

Has anyone seen what kind of budget DeVries will have for assistant salaries? It looks like IU was at just over $1M for those 3 spots.

Preston Murphy has been mentioned as a possible assistant but he's making $450k at Alabama so we'd have to pay him more than 1/2 of the total for 3 assistants under Woodson.

On the football side, IU is committed to paying assistant coaches in addition to the head coach. I hope the same is true for basketball.

We got a BTB Baller here.  :)

The analysis they did where they compared this search to Archie is pretty interesting for 2 reasons 

1) That they spotted it correctly in retrospect.  Archie is struggling again at his new stop

2) That they couldn’t even compare to woody.

Edit: won't believe it without a picture.  

Yes, I've heard some people reference it, but I've literally not seen one picture with even his leg in it.  Seems like the two of them shaking hands or at least Woody in the room would have been a photo op that the school would want out regardless if it was sincere or not.

They were top in the big 10 last year, and should be in that range this year.

The loyalty they expect from coaches is pretty wild. Did those kids give their old HCs a heads up they were transferring before they transferred? 

It's wild to me. 

This is DeVries career. 

 

I could not care less about this. 

I know of one player that Darian let know he was leaving for Indiana.  Suspect if Powell ends up at IU, there were at least two.

Seems like that would be an insanely great way to start the new staff based on the little I know about him. Seems to have the goods.

Hey coach, i'm calling about your player.  You know the big man.  What's his name?

[Unexpectedflash 1,599]

So Preston Murphy is bamas main player development coach and an elite recruiter based on quick research. Is there a reason he’d leave bama? That’d be such a home run but what’s the connection

They were both on the staff at Creighton together, and there's rumbles out there that he may consider it.  Murphy has the same spot at the most money either way, what's he got to lose?

I think you just had a bad bowl of chili.  It happens to the best of us.

Has anyone asked Rabby? He was there.

From down the hall? You serious, Clark?'

If true, how freaking lazy... and embarrassing... Man up and go shake the man's hand...
