Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 4901449, member: 10"] There's a lot of intrigue among college basketball fans who Trilly Donovan really is. Norlander digitally interviewed Trilly and says it's not him. Norlander tries to ask a bunch of questions to see if he can figure out who Trilly is. [I]If you're the type of online college basketball fan that doggedly follows the coaching carousel, the transfer portal and high-profile high school commitments, then you are almost certainly aware of an online persona that came to prominence in the past year: [URL='https://twitter.com/trillydonovan']Trilly Donovan[/URL]. The cloaked account — anonymously run by one person, per the alleged one person running the account — does not make a habit of doing interviews and frequently turns down podcast requests. Trilly made an exception for CBS Sports. (What better time, what with carousel season about to kick into another gear.) [URL='https://twitter.com/trillydonovan']Trilly's presence on Twitter/X[/URL] has not come without controversy. He's appreciated by tens of thousands of college basketball fans, who anxiously await any kind of scoop or cryptic post that may or may not prove true, but he's also drawn ire privately from coaches, agents, athletic directors and others for putting information considered sensitive or off the record. (Readers, if you only realized how many people in basketball have devoted hours and hours and hours of their lives trying to uncover this guy's identity ... ) I asked him for an interview to address this, in addition to some conversation on the carousel, what to expect in the next month and, of course, why he just won't give up his identity. The person behind the alias agreed to give honest answers for all of my questions. This Q&A — conducted over digital messaging — has been slightly edited for clarity and brevity.
