I’m pretty sure some IU money would help fund the LSU buyout to make that happen

Oh lord, yes please.

For those deep into the IUFB recruitment world, do we think this is this a signal/message to any potential target?

Just want to log my prediction for Brian Kelly to PSU now

2026 General Recruiting Thread (Bball)

Clearly that’s been the path so far. Fortunately plan B, C, D are better these days than the Crean days that ended with Prillers and Aprils. But we’ve got to get our money up at some point. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

I’m talking about the type of defensive movement we did see against Marion. It doesn’t matter if Marion stinks, it’s how they were playing D, the score was some reflection of that but not the point.

Generally agree but don't think we can say they're already showing any of that yet (other than energy) based just on 2 games in PR in August we didn't actually see and one exhibition vs. NAIA Marian. I think we'll get a much better idea vs. Baylor if those things are up to snuff / on their way / need a lot more work to be decent

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/46689420/ncaa-allows-athletes-bet-pro-sports-starting-nov-1 I'm not sure how I feel about this. The can bet on professional sports, but they still cannot bet or share competition information on college sports with bettors. It's a slippery slope.

Highly doubt we’re 100 plus defensive efficiency. DeVries needs to continue to improve the roster but they’re already showing defensive awareness, energy, switching, extension to perimeter and rotation. Aint going to be great out of the gate with current roster but the reason to expect continued growth is there

I really want to believe this staff has a solid plan, and we're not just chasing talent and getting outbid late in the game, because that's what it feels like to me. -

Arafan Diane with a definite offer. Vaughn Karvala with an indefinite offer. -
If we’re 100+ ranked in Def-E I’ll have one foot out on the devries project. Iowa probably averaged a def efficiency rank of 100th or worse. The was lots of consternation at the prospect of a Chris Collins hire. For reference, their worst year out of the last five or six years in defensive efficiency was 73rd. Every other year they were around 50 or better. They do not have more talent than us generally. 50th-ish in Def-E plus a top 25 Offense gets us to the tourney pretty easily. A Fran-esque defense of 100th or worse (puke) in Def-E and we better be pushing a top 5 offense.

Maybe not running but maybe a fast shuffling. Sounds pretty doubtful. - Yesterday

Purportedly. I don't subscribe to any premium sites but the most recent news on him per my quick Google search comes from when he cancelled his Kentucky visit (shortly after his MSU visit). He is officially down to MSU, Kansas, IU, Oklahoma, and Oregon. I think most people believe it's between MSU and Oregon, who supposedly made a huge $ offer. Not sure if he has set a decision date. -

Are we still in the running for Ethan? -
Ok Makalusky has been in the IU Ladies program long enough. Interested in the Makalusky and Garzon matchup vs Maryland.

Maybe something, maybe nothing: Houston is a finalist for 21yo G-League Center Abdullah Ahmed. Spent the last 2 years playing for the Knicks’ affiliate. Is still waiting for eligibility clearance, but, c’mon. Would assume Houston wouldn’t take both him and Diane. Fwiw -
Yeah, fun listen. I liked the comparisons at the end. Purdue having a top offense and good defense as a 4 seed, UConn as an 8 seed with good offense and just good enough defense, Iowa missing the tournament as a good offensive team that couldn't get it figured out on defense. I feel like the 8 seed is the most likely scenario for us, which would put us on a similar trajectory to Louisville (in theory). I think / hope the team will shoot well enough to overcome challenges inside. 3 > 2 but live by the 3 die by the 3. I'm excited to see the players against real competition in Baylor. Long term I believe in DDV to make us relevant on the court again and Baylor ought to give us an idea of how far along this team is (or how far it still has to go). Gonna need guys like Bailey, Dorn and Alexis to step up in their roles... a lot hinges on it IMO. Not super concerned about that though because I think we're gonna see a team getting set up to succeed by their coach for the first time in a long while.
