Announcement in next 24 hours?

Insider who built a rep for hinting at where recruits/transfers were going and was mostly accurate. But he's not always right so who knows.

I forgot to tell you happy st. patrick's day.

anybody else see a leprechaun up in the tree, say 'yeah!'.....

Its certainly not a home run hire. Its a wait and see hire basically. Nothing to get super excited about and get the fans all engaged its let's wait and see how you start doing next season hire.

It's a little baffling.
 
Cig was announced late afternoon as I recall, but not this late. Guessing nothing official today at this point.

Yep I agree. It does look like he put a pretty good portal class together last spring and I recall Dolson being quoted as saying he wanted somebody who knew how to use the portal right away. So I guess that parts fits but the rest I dont know.
 
I know this is not a home run hire, but still guessing this guy can coach circles around Woodson. And we know he will outwork him.

This is where the IU program is these days, especially when squeaky clean is the standard. I would say Kentucky given where they've been the last 25 years compared to us took a bigger leap of faith with Pope than we did.

I think he can find success here. The RMK days are never coming back, but Devries can get us back to relevant.
 
It was never getting announced today.

Any PR person worth their salt isn't going to have a major announcement compete against a much larger announcement that will dominate the news cycle.
 
Inside of what? I'm sure his "sources" are impeccable.
He did or had sort of business that did the weird, flamethrower dragons flying to the moon graphics for recruits when they announced on Twitter/Instagram. So he had info before it was announced. That's all I know.
 
Well, I’m glad that Dolson is keeping an extremely tight lid on this. Makes it easier to ignore “sources” from “insiders.”
Wait you don't believe we are just waiting on Brad Stevens daughter to cast the deciding vote!
 
I am waiting until Osterman or Thamel tweet the selection. Until then, I will hold out hope that IU got someone actually qualified for the job.

Then it likely won't be Thurs, Fri, Sat, or Sun with wall-to-wall March Madness coverage.

So if it's not tonight or tomorrow, then it's next Monday at the earliest

It could be tomorrow, but otherwise, agree with you completely. They might drop it on Saturday during the tournament as it's a talking point for all of the talking heads, but it's going to get washed-out quickly.
 
Why bother hiring this guy now? He's not there in two weeks. Not that we want the tourney flavor of the year.... But still.
Exactly. Why the rush? Are we afraid someone's going to swoop in and steal him away. I don't get it.

Welp, Thamel tweeted that it’s happening. What a joke if a program. Just put it out of its misery.
