Yeah I think it comes out in the morning. Transfer portal opens tomorrow and want him to be able to officially reach out to potential recruits asap.

It’s gotten really bad with the WVU people. Plus the people that pay for Trilly and then lose it when Tom has an update. It’s also pretty clear Eickholt uses Trilly. The timing of the updates match up.
I don’t think he’s staking his career on a paid discord, but they’re probably talking to a lot of the same people.

His tweet was nearly note for note Trilly’s update from immediately after the game. Could be coincidence I suppose. Either way, I respect him for putting it out there much more than the shit the other guys are doing.

Maybe Eickholt and Trilly are using the same source.

Its funny the regulars there think someone is leaking info from 247 to Trilly and from Trilly to 247, one guy just keeps bringing it up how it annoys him. Find it funny because I believe both of the 247 guys are on his Discord under other names.

It’s the right hire. Whether it works out or not, who knows, but it’s the right guy in this moment.

Lol at the local guys being useless and having the story actually break from national reporters. They’re useless, the entire lot of them.

More than that, they're pissed at the guy who tried.
He’s at least trying to play the part. They don’t even do that.

Anyway, only morons give them money. Let’s see what kind of staff and roster he builds. Big day right away for him.

This is an absolute home run hire. Program defining moment. We will all look back and thank God we didn’t get DD.
I don’t agree with that, but we were certainly fortunate that we had 3-4 good options that were interested in the iowa job this cycle. It would have taken a disaster to end up with a lick-type hire.

IU got their 5th choice and we got 1A or 1B. Timing is everything in life.

I watched quite a bit of Drake this year, so the tempo concerns were a bit misleading. The offense is nonstop movement. If you watch much NBA it’s the polar opposite. I think about every iowa fan that cared watched Drake beat mizzou and that game really swung the pendulum in his favor.

I was initially concerned that he wasn’t a big enough name to give us big new hire momentum, but he absolutely will.

The guy can coach basketball. Now it's just a matter of getting enough talent that fits his system to compete. Also we need a new strength program.

The fact that you don’t agree strengthens my argument.

Now watch all of the Iowa guys pretend it wasn’t actually agreed to in principle yesterday.
“Yeah I heard the deal was finalized late late late last night, they weren’t even close in the morning. In fact, they didn’t even talk until after dinner time yesterday”.

Huh. Weird. Tommy Birch got burnt by his “source.” So did Doc.

If Beth did tell that fag Devries to fuck off after his shake down attempt, this makes this hire feel a even better.
Beth is long.

Imagine if Garta The Cuck was still around. We’d still be watching offense coordinated by Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz and defense coordinated by Fran Mccaffrey, with no end in sight.

Refusing to commit to half the game was quite a bold strategy on Fran’s part.

McCollum has shown he will always play hard defense as well as adapt his offensive strategy based on personnel and match ups.

I think McCollum was the best realistic candidate Iowa could have gotten this cycle.
And I preferred him over Devries.

I think Devries would have worked out at Iowa, but he’s gonna flame out quickly at Indiana. Bad choice bro.
