Walsh needs to be retained, he's a recruiter, just needs a closer to back him up, which DeVries will do
Staff
- Thread starter yeard
- Start date
In the OP I never started that Jordy should be kept on but that I felt sorry for him for being stuck in a bad situation. I have left a job before for what I thought were going to be greener pastures once in my life and while it taught me a valuable lesson it still sucked when it didn't work out
Thought I saw Frazier is still a possibility at WVU (although the North Texas coach also being mentioned) and Barnett interviewing for other HC jobs as well. I would guess IF they end up coming, it will not be announced until after those decisions are made about HC possibilities
I like Jordan Hulls but what exactly does he bring as an assistant oach? He was a great shooter and competitor as a college player. Thats it. What player on the team developed as a shooter with access to Jordan? I didn't see or hear anything regarding how much Jordan did to help a players game. No offense, but moving forward if you're part of the staff you better bring something to the team.
Just and FYI, using IU Offseason, when you click on the link provide for Garrett Sturtz and Ryan Horn, their pages do not load on the WV sports site. Where as Nick Horton as rumored to be on the IU staff but his page still loads on the WV site. I think that is a pretty good clue on who is in Bloomington now.
It's pretty slim pickings, but I do think Galloway's shot looked better and his % was better this year than last.
Nah. Clean sweep. Top to bottom. That entire staff was supposed to be elite in recruiting. They rarely signed anyone. Lazily shuffled into the portal store and shopped from the top shelf. Don't need to be reminded of any of that nonsense going forward. ALL NEW FACES.
DeVries and Dolson spoke to the Indy Star:
He anticipates everything will "come together pretty quickly," but IU will likely hold off on any official announcements until the staff is completed.
"The pieces are aligned, it's just a matter of time to get things done and finalize everything," DeVries said.
DeVries also told the Star he would be hiring a General Manager of sorts but that position would not be announced with the rest of the staff:
"We are looking into that like everybody in college sports," DeVries said. "Everybody is trying to figure out how to best utilize that position. It's becoming more and more common, but what does that job description really look like? What's their role for us? And how do we want to best utilize that position."

The Assembly Call said there wasn't going to be individual announcements for each staff member added, Just a one time here is the staff.
I wonder who the Scott Boras of portal agents is? Is there someone out there that will be able to set the market on certain positions. If someone had 6 of the top 10 at a point guard you could manipulate the market I would think.
Did RMK keep any of Watson's staff when he came to IU? Stop with the sentimentalism. DeVries needs a clean slate from Woodson just like RMK needed a clean slate from Watson. IU needs a clean slate. On a side note.....RMK came very close to being the head coach of Wisconsin and Florida instead of IU.
seems the opposite of what makes sense though: the guy who's definitely leaving still loads and the guys who are unclear, don't? Explain your logic there?
THEIR user error ... and as far as my logic, it was just a guess nothing more. In fact looking at that list again I think their statuses listed are not updated. Preston Murphy from Alabama is not rumored by them but I hear/read otherwise.
I think this is one of the assistants we are waiting on. He is at Alabama but worked with DeVries as an assistant at Creighton. Supposedly an elite recruiter.

Everything will change on April 7th when revenue sharing is approved. That is why all these players are wanting to get deals now because their actual "worth/value" will have to be reviewed going forward. That means they may be worth a lot less than they are now able to get.
He doesn't seem like a guy who would go wild with his spending and probably saved his money. I'd say the same about Jimmy Jackson.
Learning that high speed Alabama offense can’t hurt. I’d bet IU will be recruiting lots of shooters from now on.I think this is one of the assistants we are waiting on. He is at Alabama but worked with DeVries as an assistant at Creighton. Supposedly an elite recruiter.

He was very involved on the sidelines tonight; seemed like he game planned it. Of course making 25 3's helps.I think this is one of the assistants we are waiting on. He is at Alabama but worked with DeVries as an assistant at Creighton. Supposedly an elite recruiter.

His first few seasons he had the strangest ball release I have ever seen. Same with free throws and field goals.
I always felt Galloway's terrible mechanics totally wasted athletic talent. Because he has a lot of athletic talent. But man, develop a shot!
I always wanted to watch his shot on slowed down super fast video. There was always some strange fast lateral movement of his shooting hand upon release that I never could figure out.
And he spent a lot of hours in the gym trying to groove the ugly release. I also slowed some video down and tried to figure it out last year one time. I don't recall that I could, lol. Must be other parts of the motion compensate making it tough to be consistent.

Or he can prove the skeptics wrong again. I think he was the last of his class to sign with IU and became the all-time leading scorer. He likely would have had a more prolific pro career with other teams- not enough balls to go around in Washington when sharing with Strickland, Webber and Howard.
It’s always been amazing to me his dad was a coach and you know he shot basketballs since he was a toddler. And never shot a good free throw percentage,
