I'd think purdoo is #2 if you catch my drift... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I actually dropped M118 (Finite) because it conflicted with too many games lol

Kiss Brooks and TJD goodbye. There’s going to be a scrimmage. Both might even pick MSU while at the event.

/Looks at jerseys, sees a CBB who's who then.... One of these things is not like the others.

Bell has set an OV to Indiana for the weekend of December 8th.

I was late to more than one game because of classes

If a probability thread is gonna be up every week, I'll post bowl projections here. Most sites have us going to Detroit to play the likes of UVA(again), Wake, Ohio, or Cincinnati. Bowl Cut(how apropos) has us going to something called the First Responders Bowl in Dallas to play Akron.

Yes, and I think that UK's odds are extremely minimal. IU...................MSU......UCLA, UNC. (IMO)

Hey guys....... I’m hysterical for Hoosier Hysteria!!!!!!! Just thought I’d let you all know. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

PureDoo is definitely #2!

I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see him coming to IU...He will be at Penn State this weekend for the game against Ohio St.; that atmosphere will be hard to top.

He’s on campus today as well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

S&P+ rating are a rating system for college football that looks at data from every play and adjust them based on the opponents. It's basically Ken Pomeroy but for college football. This is directly from football outsiders: "The components for S&P+ reflect opponent-adjusted components of four of what Bill Connelly has deemed the Five Factors of college football: efficiency, explosiveness, field position, and finishing drives. (A fifth factor, turnovers, is informed marginally by sack rates, the only quality-based statistic that has a consistent relationship with turnover margins.)" This is their site in case anyone wants to read more on it: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa

The opposite would also be true. Rutgers is due for a big game and IU teams of the past generally bow down to inferior opponents. However, as I will be on hand for the game, I pray this doesn't occur.

I thought it might be interesting to track how the computers see the team as the season goes along. Right now S&P+ thinks we have about an 80% chance to go bowling, and could end up having a really nice year overall with a few lucky bounces. It's looking more and more like the plan is to redshirt Penix, which I agree with, but I think we still need to give Ramsey more intermediate passing routes to target to really unlock the offense. Our defense, a question mark coming into the year, is currently ranked in the top 20 but our offense is outside of the top 75. I think we have talent on that side of the ball we just need to press a bit more than we do right now. Hopefully Rutgers sees us get ahead by a few scores and experiment a bit in a game setting

Thanks, nice find. I didn't realize that TJD & KBJ visited UCLA together. Would be nice to pull out a surprise commit from that group, but nothing obvious to me. A couple of weeks ago I was thinking a class of 5 was possible, now 3 seems most likely. Ahhh, the emotional roller-coaster of recruiting.

There are exceptions but we don't have over 50% of our student ticket holders with 7 p.m. classes

Hunter is not exactly fast/quick and at his size, I don’t think he will be able to stay in front of many 2 guards on the peremeter/open court Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Good ole Finite. Brings back good memories. Disappointed that Stewart is not attending HH. It should be a nice event. I wonder if Sage Steele is returning. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

IU 57 Buttgers- 24

What’s sad is that’s not as ridiculous as it should be

A little humor to start a Tuesday. Getting to the point a Pee Wee flag football league is more entertaining.

Last winter on the Mind Your Banners podcast, Snow told Osterman that the staff thought Hunter could play the 2 but Snow thought that was a long shot. I can see both sides: his size and skill makes him a tantalizing prospect there, but the speed, defense, and ball-handling may be challenges.

Funny reading that a 2 by some definition of people has to have some mad dribbling skills. I don’t remember Gary Harris fitting that profile by a long shot and he turned out to be a pretty decent 2. I’m with Brass on this. I think Damezi and Hunter can both play that position as long as they’re hitting shots.

Thanks Thompson!

Disagreeing from him means you have a narrative, however his opinion is a fact, not a narrative. Lol, the hypocrisy runs thick with this one.

Methinks they’re in his top one.

Right, and it's interesting to note as your other post mentioned turnovers aren't really accounted for in this model because they're pretty much random. If we can take care of the ball, we can eclipse this record. Or we could get lucky with opponent's fumbles bouncing our way, or happening at all. That could go the other way too and it's a huge factor to winning and losing games. All that having been said this team does have talent on both sides of the ball and with bolder playcalling offensively I think we can turn the corner but I'm starting to join the chorus on Debord. Ramsey can handle a bit more than what he's being given right now, even stretching the defense another 5 or 10 yards would be huge.

He is taken an official visit to duke this weekend Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Don’t get me started on that. I can’t stand it when people arrive late to real games. I can’t see the game when they start to pile up

Just read that Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill will both be able to attend the WNIT ceremony. Buss will be leaving for her professional career in Greece, while Cahill is teaching in Bloomington!

Edit: Answered

Basically a game were we have no excuse for a loss (@Rutgers this week) and 4 games which are basically toss ups...

I try not to read game threads during gametime. Just for this reason.

Personally, I dont really give a [emoji90] what happens at HH. Everything the team does is either for recruiting, fans, or both, so please at least one of those groups and it’s a win. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Per Drew Davis add '21 Caleb Furst from Fort Wayne to the list of Hoosier Hysteria visitors.

It's also a chance to gain exposure for our women's team. The raising of the WNIT banner is significant to our program. It's a chance to help build another important facet of our athletics.

I’m ready for the season to start and as excited about any season since 2011-12. Archie has his recruits, and his players have a year under his coaching. I’m expecting big results and some beat downs like we haven’t seen in a long time.

With the Asst Coach of Wake in a little hot water from the assult in NYC, might make that destination a little less desirable.

Love or hate Snow but he is well connected with Archie and his staff. On his weekly reports he has written about kids not on radar and to watch closely and expect an offer soon and each time he has been right. The plan might be for hunter to develop into a 2 but who knows if that will actually end up happening. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Snow gets his info from the staff

Well I guess snow would be the expert I’ll just stop listening to Archie Miller then
