How's this for irony. Niko Medved lasted 1 or 2 seasons at Drake, before leaving for Colorado State. He lasts 6-7 seasons, and just accepted at Minnesota. DeVries lasts 6-7 seasons at Drake, taking over for Medved, lasts 1 season at WVU, and just accepted at Indiana University. McCollum has a long/successful career at NW Mo. St., lasts 1 season at Drake, and just accepted at Iowa. All 3 will now play each other in conference each season, and can swap Drake stories. Who took the better path?
A unique series of intertwined moves for sure. On a side note, it also adds fuel to the fire regarding coaches and players being held to different standards when leaving for bigger money opportunities. It’s perfectly natural when coaches do it, but it’s selfish or disloyal when players do the same thing, so the argument goes.
Good win for Drake. West Virginia is the latest rumor for McCollum.
WVU is going after Calhoun at Utah State (former WVU top assistant under Huggins), while McCollum is either going to be Iowa or UVA bound.
Virginia's hiring Ryan Odom
Looks like both Iowa and WVU have McCollum as their first choice. This is assuming he wants to leave.
Calhoun definitely is in the driver’s seat for WVU
I think he ended up staying at Utah St.
How about yesterday afternoon a report that Richard Pitino was going to Villanova and by night time he was the coach of Xavier with Villanova supposedly waiting until Kevin Willard is done at Maryland which may come tomorrow evening.
