Just heard that IU's making the offer today

[Mr. Neutral]

From a buddy in Indy.

I heard from a friend in Tuscaloosa that Brad Redford is skipping Xavier altogether and will become a Franciscan monk in Tibet. I swear.

[Mr. Neutral]

Mine's not an April Fool's joke. Hope it's wrong.

Looks like that offer may have been made to Lon Kruger and not Miller. The IU mb at http://www.peegs.com is exploding with Lon Kruger rumors.

[Mr. Neutral]

Miller was the leader (according to Peegs), but now Kruger may be the frontrunner.

From Lon's time at Illinois, if I'm IU, I go with Miller. Kruger's a good X's and O's guy, not much of a PR guy, and not much of a recruiter. If you're looking to win 18-20 game and not go past the 1st weekend of the NCAA, Lon's your guy.

I agree... I think after Bennett, Miller was their guy. Lets hope that Miller politely declined.

[newtsac]

I thought we all agreed that Miller isn't going anywhere this year at least...

Plus, IU won't make a hire that is good for their program anyway, isn't that obvious? Davis, Sampson, Dakich (won't be the next fulltime coach anyhow)...

Broadripple - are you in Indy?

[broadripple]

yes.. i'm in indy

As Jay Mariotti says the IU job is a mess. "What motive would be for anybody to take this job, losing Eric Gordon, White now you don't have two other talented players and you might be on probabtion"

Sean's buyout is too much for IU, plus I don't think he wants to leave XU. Brownell would be a good choice.
