DeVries is Heading to Indiana

[Full Speed Ahead]

This probably means McCollum to Iowa

Kick in the nuts for Iowa, as well. He was their top choice.

If Iowa gets McCollum, that's quite a booby prize. Could be the best on the whole dang carousel. He's a great fit, having grown up there.

 

[GopherGod]

Sounds like McCollum could end up at West Virginia as their AD was a former AD for McCollum at previous job and West Virginia has more NIL than Iowa

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Danny B sounded happy with it.

I don’t know what the IU job pays, but is it that much better a gig than West Virginia? It really hasn’t been a perennial top 10 program in 30 years, but you can’t tell their fans that. It’s pretty much a first-weekend-of-the-tournament team lately, which is just enough to infuriate their base.

Come on now...basketball is to Indiana what hockey is to Minnesota. Indiana is in the Big Ten.
Indiana has much more basketball money than WV. Their historical tradition in basketball is one the kingpins of the sport. And he is getting paid more money.

Iowa is pretty much at the bottom of the conference in NIL for basketball. They likely won't have enough to get anyone of note.

I'm concerned that this could leave someone else needing a coach that might be competitive with UMN for Niko.

Time to worry. No breaks for gopher fans.

Indiana is now a football school.

Niko’s already agreed to a deal with Minnesota. It won’t change a thing.

I hope you're right.

Possible, but I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

 

[nitramnaed]

I hope you're right.

Of course I’m right. I’m an old SOB that thinks he knows everything.

I have a feeling they may have already shot their wad. Time will tell which direction Indiana football is trending. It may not nose dive but I don't believe it is ascending either.

What a glorious development if IA ends up missing out on all three (3) of McCollum, DeVries and Medved.

It would be most glorious if we end up with McCollum.
