I actually expected a bigger jump for him than that. Maybe I don’t respect Iona since they didn’t exist to me before pitino

As long as we maintain a minimum of this level of respectability then I am all in on Whitman and whatever hardball he decides to play and whatever hiring decisions he makes. He's earned a long leash. The last 5ish years have been a hell of a ride.

Is the assistant, Adam Cohen?The “rumor” going around has been known for weeks and just hasn’t surfaced until now … I have had private conversations with a lot of people I trust and people on here about the whole Brad and Texas thing … It’s no guarantee Brad is back at this point, that’s all I’ll say …
The other “rumor” that is floating around with agents and coaches is whether or not Self calls it a career due to his health and Kansas opens … Self has talked to me himself after the incident and said that’s not his plan but as we all know things can change …
IF Brad were to leave … Whitman is ALL. IN. on one guy and it isn’t a secret to those in the know and now I’ll let you guys all be in the know … And yes for those that know who the guy standing next to Miller is … We want him as well …
*edit, @Whitmans Sampler beat me to it. He’s quick on the draw

I've heard from other sources Whitman was at Xavier's game, before today. Does anyone have a video/screenshot from this? It is all very intriguing and I have felt for a while (since the yelling/screaming stopped) something was amiss on the sidelines.
Would Whitman tell Underwood it's best to head in a different direction and hire Miller?

My uncle is a 50 year Arizona Wildcats booster, and he loved Miller. Not as much as Saint Lute, obviously.
That would be incredibly risky. No matter what Miller says privately, there is no guarantee when push comes to shove he: A) leaves Xavier and B) comes here rather than some other place

I mean that's an earth-shatteringly monster hire under any circumstances.
And since the DIA seems to want to take the fanbase's temperature on that notion, my advice back to them would be to be careful of the expectations you're creating.

I've lived in Tucson long enough that they're probably my number 2 team at this point. I know that's sacrilege to some around here.

Pitch: A Wayne's World-type public access show in Champaign starring Tyler Underwood and Miles Smith.
1) seems like an upgrade over his brother (dream killer)
2) feels like I need to go back and research whatever happens at Zona. Had a Xavier fan talking trash about Pitino and had to do a double take because I thought Yawn Killer got fired for recruiting violations and saw a recent headline where Pitino was cleared of wrong doing.

Lol that's such an insult to tie Tyler to Miles...
Money is very addicting. See Stan Kronke
So “Indy Illini Fan” is Josh Whitman, right? I mean, who else would know Josh’s every thought and travel schedule, and speaks with Bill Self, Sean Miller and many other D1 coaches on the regular? 
I will see that and raise it another $20 and two cases.
Kofi, Ayo, and Brad got it back to another level and BU landing Kofi was the biggest and largest reason why BUs offense worked and we won. Without Kofi i don't see BU h ing such success and there Re not many guys like Kofi.. It also sums up my thoughts on BU. Solid evaluator and recruiter but scheme wise he needs to improve a lot. I would appreciate what he has done but excited to add Miller to take the next step.

That's sort of how I viewed Tay and J, except the radio version.
Buckle up and grab some popcorn, it’s going to get crazy.

It’s fun to get into these hypotheticals but I think there will be much less shake up than what everyone says.
Self is staying at KU, they would give him all the time in the world to heal. Even a season off.
Calipari probably gets at least another year at Kentucky, but if he underperforms again it might be off to the pros.
Arkansas will probably pay anything to keep musselman RN, as would Xavier with Miller
Doesn’t leave a lot of high profile jobs open, except Texas. I would guess they give it to Terry in the end.
My 2 cents

So Miller would retain you and TA?
