DeVries NOT a candidate for Iowa job. Ben McCollum the next Iowa HC?
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
WV turned down the offers. AD cited a desire to focus on preparations for next year.
Edit: Statement below:
His resume is damn impressive.
Devries could say F it if Iowa hesitated and takes whatever WV throws his way to keep him.
Lot of ifs in this situation but waiting around in todays environment seems like a good way to end up with option D whoever that is…
We’re gonna find out soon enough
Seen that they turned down offers to Crown and NIT.
Maybe that does mean Devries is gone
This is a good point. In fact, I'm sure DD is under some pressure at WV to piss or get off the pot. If he's leaving, I would guess that WV would be eager to get rolling on their search to replace him.
Leistikow and Dochterman talked about McCollum's team playing with one of the slowest paces in college basketball. Leistikow didn't seem too enthused about that coming to Iowa. We don't want Lickliter ball again.
Crazy we’re in this timeline but with transfer portal opening up and NIL…here we are.
So do I, but if Iowa has a chance to lock up DD now, they have to do it. Timing is everything
Some good info regarding NIL starting just after the 36:10 mark from SD. Iowa revenue share will be larger than WV as a base.
This is a great listen for anyone who wants deeper insights into the issues surrounding Fran's exit and the ongoing effort to replace him.
I understand that but it’s also been noted multiple times, he adjusts to his personnel. This year, his personnel was clearly outmatched athletes-wise so the solution is to slow down the game.
A couple of his D2 national championship teams averaged 80 ppg.
They showed a stat during the MVC tournament that Drake led the nation with 290(?) FGs in the last 4 seconds of the shot clock. The next closest was 215. It's like a mini heart attack every time they have the ball.
Playing Devil's Advocate here........Why do we want a coach that didn't make the tournament?
Don't throw darts at me I'm just having fun. DD would be a great get as well as BM.

IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!!
This dude will be infinitely better than Brock ****ing harding
FWIW, 4 star guard Kelvin Odih, a 2025 West Virginia commit, has ties to the Hawkeyes, having received an offer in 2023. He'd be a nice get for us if he could be flipped.

Powell in the portal all but seals the deal.
I'm calling some kind of announcement today. Maybe even an introductory presser.

Seems as though the football hire turned out just fine
The plane from Morgantown to Aurora flew from ARR to Morgantown on March 11. Later, on the 11th, it flew from Morgantown to Kansas City, where the Big 12 Tournament was held (WV's first game was on March 12). On March 16, it flew from KC to Morgantown. It then flew back to Aurora yesterday and flew to Miami this morning. It is a very active private jet owned by the Chicago Jet Group.
The plane from CR to Aurora is a Cessna Skyhawk, a single-engine prop plane that seats 2 to 4 people. It is doubtful that Iowa flew its AD on what is basically acrop duster. A flight school in Sugar Grove, IL, owns it.
Stand down, people, regarding this news.
Sounds like this thing may have been set up for a while and then wvu getting screwed out of the tourney just worked out perfectly for Iowa.
Even if not the case it's tough to wait on McCollum knowing he will have better offers while DD also has a contract extension on his desk.
Can't risk missing on both.
If Tucker enters the portal that could really b a sign
I agree. McCollum is probably the better coach but possibly not the better recruiter and there's no guarante we would get him with Indiana, Virginia and possibly Villanova involved.
The counter to Devil’s Advocate would be, they went 9-23, and 4-14 in conference last year. 19-13 and 10-10 with DeVries in one year. Pretty impressive turn around.
It’s a good start.
Minnesota, Indiana, and there will be other vacancies. But yeah, Iowa tops the list for sure.
