Agree. McCollum likely would prefer Iowa job.100% however I don't think they have the same financial power (Indiana) or local appeal (Iowa).
I could see them going for Josh Schertz, Drew Valentine, Chris Mack, or maybe Sean Miller.
Medved would be a slam dunk. Huge fan of his. Mountain West is a great conference.Agree. McCollum likely would prefer Iowa job.
Rumored candidates for Minnesota include Niko Medved (CO St., from MN), Ben Jacobson (N. Iowa, from MN), Ryan Saunders (Flip’s son & former TWolves head coach), McCollum & Darian DeVries (WV, from Iowa)
DeVries has a $9.3 million buyout & is making $2.9 million/yr. I bet he wishes he would have stayed another year at Drake but he couldn’t turn down a big contract. He may have been able to pick between Iowa & Minnesota if he waited.
Honestly good for the ACC conference as well. We need to be a better conference, us included.Good hire for NC State if they can finalize a deal
McCollum has been rumored for the Iowa job for a couple months. Not sure how our local news guys picked up on, but I have read it more than once.Agree. McCollum likely would prefer Iowa job.
