Don't confuse GBBB with the facts, Jimmy. I spoke to our AD just the other day about the practice facility. If the Arena is secured and with the practice facility built, we would go from having the worst facilities in the league two years ago to having the best. A 30,000 student University in a major city with the best facilities in its league immediately becomes a candidate for another league. Too bad my facts are correct, the practice facility wasn't even considered for state funding. It's unfunded, so the dream of getting facilities almost as nice as the top programs in the HL remains a far off fairy tale. I think a better approach than attacking me would be to try to have some honesty with your fans. They deserve it.

The Bryce Drew-to-DePaul rumor has serious legs. any idea what's the Dave Leaito to DePaul rumors are about? That feels like a sign that Drew & Hurley passed on them ...and if that happened, I'm really happy. DePaul has to resort to retreading their own former coaches? Maybe they should give Ric Cobb a call...

He wasn't bad at Virginia either, he just wasnt great. Surprising but interesting. I'm guessing they gave up the Hurley idea as soon as the St. John's job opened.

Report out of Chicago was Hurley actually rejected DePaul's offer. Didn't see anything about if Drew was/wasn't offered.

There are a ton of job openings this year. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out. My only prediction is Buzz Williams will be named head coach at Texas by the end of the week.

Otzelberger is a bigger cheat than Pearl, Tark, Kirk and SMU football combined. When you get run out of Ames, there is a reason. But he is not as bad as the current AD at UWM. What a ____ she is ! This from today's Des Moines Register after ISU assistant Matt Abdelmassih left to take a job at St. John's: "I'll look at the best possible candidate," Hoiberg said. "I'll look at someone that can recruit at a high level, and someone with knowledge on the floor." Hoiberg said that even could include former assistants like T.J. Otzelberger, now an assistant at Washington, and Doc Sadler, the head coach at Southern Mississippi. Hoiberg must have forgotten that he ran Otzelberger out of Ames, DOH!!!

His contract only goes through next year correct? Is this at all a possibility?

Pay his buy out and hire TJ Otzelberger. I can't take another year of watching this.

Frightening that Amanda Braun will likely be responsible for our next hire

Please not TJ Otzelberger. My Dad and brother in law are huge Iowa State fans and I cannot stand ISU. The last several years they have been a program full of fifth year transfers, guys in trouble and almost zero instate guys. I love having guys I can be proud of with a lot who are here for 3-4 years.
