Definitely being mentioned.

Anderson can currently “recruit” these players with no NCAA restrictions. Be their buddy. Put himself in a great spot if they opt out of the draft. Once he signs as an assistant somewhere, he is bound by rules. Pays to wait.

This is one of the reasons NBA ratings are tanking the league is ran by the players this has Luka written all over it, it would a fresh breathe to come to college I would think
I’ll take Popeye Jones for the name, Murray State connections, and big man coach.
What I've been told is it's an NBA AC, but there's been rumblings of Anderson that are gaining steam. This is the absolute quietest recruit/hire I've ever witnessed. There was no name, just "NBA AC".
At this point I'd put it at a toss up. My guy has never been wrong, including the Kansas City Shuffle that was Bryce Hopkins among others. I think only Josh, Brad, AC3, and their lawyers know this one.
If I am wrong, you can martyr me with the rest of those who led astray the Loyal sheep with false promises of "sauces" and insider news.

It's been a fascinating, if frustratingly long, process. Appreciate the info, BalloonsTheElephant.
With the Bucks one win away from taking out the Nets and the combine happening next week, hopefully we get some answers soon.

Randle vs. Royal: I realize you're not an insider, but I think you've captured Brad's search for Coach #3 perfectly here.......
".....it could be one of these two, either of which I think would be solid hires, or someone else completely...."

Seems like a soap opera with twists and turns at every harrowing event
Not an “it will blow your mind” hire.

Pruman, not too far off, but if this were a soap opera, we'd have all sorts of drama, deception, and goofiness coming from the main actors (JW, BU, etc.). In our case, that's not true. It's just coming from the audience! Yep, that's some of the folks in here!
Now we just need someone to die and return from the grave to cap it off. Any volunteers?
I don't disagree, but he's a solid recruiter and developer.
I think you can poke holes in any name that's been brought forward so far.
If it is Ivey/Randle/Anderson, I think the overall staff grade would be about what we lost and that's no small feat having to replace 3 ACs in that short of a window. Our ceiling may be lower but our floor is definitely higher.
Personally I'd love to get a guy from the NBA. We are scouting guys who want to get to that level. If we can get an NBA guy who can bring some of that style and flow, it makes us more attractive.
It would be hard for me to believe it would take this long to secure a former DePaul AC. Seems he would have been waaaaay down the list of "mind-blowing" options.
Underwood's definition of an assistant that would blow people's minds and yours is vastly different. In the coaching world, Tim Anderson has a very good reputation.

I think at this point we should have a BATTLE ROYAL! My Pillow Guy/Iron Sheik/Bernie Sanders/Jeff Sessions/Gov. Pritzer/Lorie Lightfoot/former Gov. Bagorivitch/Rosie O'Donnial/Whoppie Goldberg/Megan McCann and Mr. Bean! Winner gets the job!

BOOM! Feed my ego.
The revisionist history is impressive. Who said the next assistant coach is going to be mind blowing?
Hope that's true, sounds like a great reason to delay an AC signing
And I think BU just said the candidates he was talking to were mind blowing,
not that he was certain to actually land one of them.

Unfortunately, Rosie O’Donnel would win that battle royale in a walk. She’s got 100 pounds on everyone except Pritzger, and she’d make him cry in 30 seconds.
So it's an NBA guy, or someone else?
I haven't been turned down on my application yet, so your saying theirs a chance?
I thought the next AC would be elite...

I’m taking the field in Randle/Ivey/Anderson or the field.
