Again, if he doesn't want to stay here for a better NBA opportunity I'm happy for him. But many of you on here are acting like he is bigger than the program. He isn't. Don't get bent out of shape about this.

Let's try and keep this on topic, it's crazy enough around here.

Oh, hell, what's the point?

In jest, somewhat, but seriously. Let it go where it goes and once there's something somewhat official, blow it up and start the meltdown thread.

Fred,

This is how I would feel without you:

 

[acgclone]

I actually think him staying will screw up recruiting for 2016. Recruits know he has a foot out the door. Great for next season, of course, but after that...

2016 for HS kids at least is probably shot regardless of whether Fred stays or goes. We need some transfers to bridge the gap until TJ has time to plant some rectuiting seeds.

Has anyone thought of changing our avatars to him? It may be crazy enough to work. That's the best bad idea i have.

This here's a story about Freddy H and Carol Hoiberg
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around in Ames, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

Done. (But if he leaves, it is gone.)

My avatar is already what kept Fred in town this long.

GI've us some insight last I heard you were at 30%? How about now?

Exactly, this is group therapy. We need a little brevity right now.

Or levity even. :wink:

 

[GTO]

If Fred doesn't want us, I don't want him.

 

[carvers4math]

Levity + brevity for the win.

I already brought the Silent Lucidity earlier today.

Just checking back in, 2800 plus posts with no news and people just freaking out still? Ok, carry on.

I've been posting a lot of info behind the curtain but it's just not stuff that can be made public to the larger audience. I will give a summary of some of it...

-No formal decision has been made.
-Coaches and players do not know anything other than rumors (talked to several 2 or 3 times today).
-Predicted we'd know a lot more within 24-36 hours (that was at 11am).
-None of the 4 known starters would be a flight risk.
-Other teams have inquired but Bulls are the main threat.
-The offer is for more than ISU could ever dream of paying, even though it isn't about the money.
-JP has done all he can, though I continue to hear scuttle about a lack of monetary outreach (JP knows Fred's reasons thus the lack of outreach).
-I continue to reiterate that TJ has not been promised the job, though he will be a top tier candidate, possibly even the favorite for various reasons.
-Many of the players committed to TJ and would honor that even if their father figure in Fred left, though 2016 and 2017 recruits are in flux.
