Pre-Memorial Day Hoiberg NBA Update

I've had a heart procedure and you don't come out of it fast. I'll go with Dr Leath over anything the media tries to dig (or make) up. The back pedaling has begun (see J's point #2) and will kick into full blown retreat before you know it. It's all good. Fred stays.

I'm thinking of joining the local Optimists Club.

This all makes sense, but I didn't know you had a heart.

I have seen something mentioned about leath saying something by a couple posters that is giving them optimism, but can't find what it is he said?
 
I'd agree with you if there was one shred of evidence.

We have offers our to recruits who are saying they're watching it closely including 5th year transfers and direct statements from our AD. If that's not proof that he's considering it, I don't know what is.

If Fred wasn't considering the NBA he would be closing the deal with Beilfeldt. That takes one five minute phone call.

How do you know that? Because of rumors from before the got the B1G waiver? Why apply for the waiver if he was locked on Iowa State since that was before the Fred Bulls rumors?

Oh that's right, you're talking out of your ***.
 
Recruiting doesn't focus solely on next year.
I said down the line, not next year. Look at the list of transfers that haven't found a home yet. There really isn't anything of note out there. There are no decent recruits out there for this class and there isn't any impact to 2016 or 2017 kids since they aren't signing any time soon anyways.
 
Well this could get dragged out...

@ESPNSteinLine: More and more you hear Thibs admirers around NBA say they fear Bulls determined to let all three open jobs get filled and then let Thibs go

And assuming that is true, it's further confirmation that the Bulls aren't worried about hiring the new guy, since they have a commitment from Hoiberg.

Odd statements of denial from somebody that fancies themselves as connected. I love to criticize the media but they've been pretty conservative in reporting this whole thing, to be quite honest. If you want to pretend like there has been nothing to talk about, believe what you may.

or they think their relationship will be better with any of the other big names floating out there than it is with thibs...
 
If you want to trade Thibs why would you let the other jobs get filled? I don't know basketball policy so is there a benefit to doing that?
I'd assume other teams aren't willing to give up draft picks for him, so now theyre just trying to spite Thibs.
