    NCAA Women's Bball Transfer Portal

    When I look at Twitter every now and then, I see plenty of movement in the women's portal -- but nothing from Bloomington. We have a good core returning and some nice freshmen coming in, but IMO -- we could use a couple experienced players. Maybe a big and a shooter. Trying to replace Mack and Sara will be no easy task. It seems the IU staff likes to keep things close to the vest when it comes to recruiting, but jeez -- it's getting kinda disappointing to see player after player enter the portal, and player after player commit to a new school and none of it involves us. I've really enjoyed seeing us become a player on the national scene in these past few years -- would love to see it continue. But you almost HAVE to add portal pieces to continue competing at that level. For the past couple years, it's mostly been us, Iowa and Ohio State in the B1G. Maryland has dropped off a little from years of being a power. But other schools are catching up.

    President Whitten - 2024 Faculty No Vote

    Are u making this about yourself? Look the issues the professors that you stated down mean squat to me because they’re not issues that greatly impact the whole but it’s important that there is a diversified points of view that should be expressed. It’s how we get better. We gather the information and hopefully through study and humility we use the data or not to better ourselves. Now I agree that the issues stated above should really not have a big impact on Whitten but San Francisco? Don’t get why it’s necessary to put broad labels on group of people. And for the record I have this type of same complaint with the so called “other side” when people think they have a right to be haughty over another segment of the population. I’m firm believer that it all information should be out but again the decision is yours and yours alone to see how you want to move forward. Honestly have no clue how we move forward as a people when we’re too busy putting labels on each other.

    President Whitten - 2024 Faculty No Vote

    Very well said. If the IDS article is any indication of the rift between faculty and Whitten, it only makes it sound like the IU faculty are more interested in pushing their political views than educating college students. Only confirms my support of Whitten.

    Our best lineup would include Ballo at the C. I would take what you said above but with Oumar at the C. Reneau off bench.

    Arizona Compass prep was 29-2, IMG was 21-5 both against good competition. You don’t go to basketball factory high schools and lose.

    Tl/Dr: The faculty is incapable of reading the room which makes their input a net negative on those topics. Perhaps having the faculty too involved in the administrative side of things is part of the issue. Let's just get down to brass tacks. Bloomington and the Indiana faculty likely hold views closer to San Francisco than (pick almost anywhere in this state). Whitten has to balance the idea that a whole bunch of people in this state aren't super interested in funding some of the absolute nonsense that passes as "scholarship" and "academic freedom" these days. For each of those items, it was better for the school to not let the faculty be involved. The professor lied about using facilities to promote a group that is out of step with the sensibilities of this state. It also happened at a time where Palestinian support movements on campus were basically nothing but anti-semitic rants that were harassing Jewish students and celebrating the televised murder of Israeli civilians. There was a reason he lied about the event and the lie meant he should be punished. Related to that, having a person with similar views at a similar time displaying art in the Eskanazi art center was probably a good idea to 86 as well. The background of the multimillion dollar donor Eskanazis would lead one to believe that they would probably not appreciate someone who basically promotes killing the jews having their art displayed all over a center with their name on it. The donor wins over the lefty faculty on that. Sorry. Kinsey is a blight on the school. We can pull Jordan's name off of everything because of his views but still support the extremely questionable stuff Kinsey did with children. ---- that guy and everything to do with him. On the last, she did go and oppose the bill. She doesn't have a vote in government though so don't know what they expected. Those people are her boss and hold the purse strings so again, being more militant like the faculty wanted is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. Furthermore, the fact that the University is so wildly out of step with the rest of the state on a whole host of topics is a big reason why people are supportive of bills like that in the first place. As someone who is politically on the other side of what is the norm in Bloomington and the school in particular, it gets noticed how hostile they are to people who have opinions like me, which are the dominate opinions in this state at the moment. I think they waste money on stupid BS and it is a disservice to educating people in this state. You get the perception that the school looks down its nose at the state it is in and that is part of what chases kids out of state after spending 4 years there.

    They seen a 6-5 sophomore guard that averaged 20 points and 8 rebounds. That's about it.

    And what do these previous 6 stops in 6 years have in common? He hasn’t won anywhere. KU deserves what’s coming.

    I am in India for an IU trip and have been meeting with IU alumni here. They are amazing and so gracious. I had a lot of great conversations about IU basketball! One asked if I was excited about Rice! if any of you come to India, you should definitely meet with the IU alumni here!

    I’d like to see how we would perform with some minutes with MR at the 5, MM at the 4 with some combo of Tucker and guards.

    I don't know about 40% from three, definitely not on any high volume, but I'd take 33%+ on enough volume to keep defenses honest. I don't think we see a ton of typical 4 out 1 in next year but would be nice to be wrong I guess. He's great around the rim though, that's where I want most of his looks. Maybe if/when Malik slides over to play the 5 for a few segments we see more 4 out 1 in. Would love to be a fly on the wall during staff meetings these days

    Been in a foul mood all day. So, courtesy of divine providence what hit’s my feed this afternoon but probably my favorite live tv performance ever. So primal and kinetic. The no bull$hit spirit of rock and roll. God, I’d love to see these guys do this live. That they don’t have a live album is a crime.

    I posted about him earlier today, but here is a short video of a dunk by Tobui Lawal. Kid is an absolute freak athlete and has a high motor. Might be raw but you can’t teach some of things he is capable of doing. Not necessarily an IU fit but….damn

    As assumed once Ballo signed. IU wouldn’t have made sense for him.
