Excerpt from Athletic section of NY Times for those who have Times subscription

All of which raises the obvious question: Who the heck is Trilly Donovan?

I tried to solve the mystery myself and even got him to agree to an interview. Once given a phone number, I could surely crack the case. One problem: He had ground rules. It had to be over Zoom, he wasn’t turning on his camera and I had to promise not to share the audio.

Trilly did provide the following biographical info: He works in college basketball, he’s 32, married, no kids and lives somewhere out East. That’s the extent of what he’ll reveal. Even in an interview setting, he will not say his first name. He will say he’s not an agent. He’s not a reporter. He’s not a coach.

He's always breaking college hoops news. But what everyone wants to know: Who is he?

The man behind the scoop-heavy social media account Trilly Donovan spills some of his secrets — except his identity.

My money is on Dinkins to eventually crack the Trilli case. Dinkins too good with tech
 
Another excerpt from Trilly

“I’m so excited to watch St. John’s basketball this year, and I have absolutely zero connection to St. John’s basketball,” Trilly said. “But those people have gotten me so fired up to watch Rick Pitino at Madison Square Garden. I just can’t wait.”

That quote narrows it down to anyone in a large contingent of NYC college basketball fans that enjoy rooting for a good SJU team.

In the end, I don’t care who Trilly is, as long as they keep giving us this type of news.

Whoever he is, he doesn’t get many wrong!!
 
He could be Irish he’s got a sense of humor. He can’t be a true St. John’s fan because he’s never wrong . Could he be a Ray Donovan fan ? Then we gotta solve the Trilli part
 
Now I’m on the case too. Dinkins and I will solve this I’m confident. New School and Old School

Then he’d be Rally Donovan. More likely a fan of Billy Donovan. When St. John’s recruiting was at a fever pitch a while ago I was walking around the house repeating the name Trilly Donovan. 🤣 It’s actually kind of a fun name to say.

Dinkins and I have narrowed him down to an aau person east coast or someone who has ties to Iona or both

And that's just in the last 10 minutes:)

We were thinking a member here too but 32 years old narrowed it down to no one . lolololol

Could very well be him. William is married but no kids, just like Paultz pointed out.

What is interesting is how he keeps having knowledge, so people are still dishing to him. Who would be that connected to so many different programs.

That’s what makes me think he’s an agent to a number of coaches. But in the article he denied it. But even the writer wondered if he was just denying something that he truly is.

I think he was definitely denying to try and keep people off his trail

How many coaches fall their agents with all this news? He has some network.not makes some sense that he has no affiliation to one single program.
