    One second, need to jot this down in my Rolodex (do people still have these things?) I didn't even know you brought it up. I simply posted my perspective on it like almost everyone does on a message board. Everyone "cheats" to an extent. Quit complaining and win games. (this is not directed at you rather to coaches who want to complain).

    Fitness/Health

    Awesome thread! I destroyed my body being a complete idiot when I was younger so I pay for it now. I can no longer run but do enjoy walking, swimming, and cycling. I'm typically in the gym weightlifting 5 days a week when my body isn't being a little *****. If you've never worked with a trainer I'd highly recommend it. I thought I could get solid advice online but working with a trainer who understands your body and goals is amazing. I've been able to buildup muscle in areas that I previously tore muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Best of luck to everyone on their fitness journey!

    Why bring it up? There are avenues to take if he wants to report it. I know I should just fall in line because it's an IU person saying it. I'm sure we've never done something similar though... There are still a few on here who believe any program ever with a pulse has cheated and IU is clean. People did and do complain.. was my point.
  4. Source said decision coming soon and good news on the horizon

    That was my point? I remember a few years back when Cal wasn't getting it done at the previously high level he had before and started complaining about Dook. I wonder why? You can't control what fellow students are or aren't doing. You can control the effort you put in and the results you get. The student who understands and applies it will be much better off regardless of the grade they receive which is another conversation we could have.

    Pros and cons to this. If they deny it over the summer there is a bit of a roar and it's over. If they deny near the season there is more backlash over it. I truly hope the staff has a good feel to what is likely to happen.

    A little late to the discussion but this dichotomy was discussed in depth on a podcast I was recently listening to. Perspective 1: If you love the institution you won't criticize Perspective 2: You criticize because you love the institution and what it could/should be All of us here love IU basketball but have different perspectives. Issues arise when one perspective isn't tolerant of the other. I have inside information this won't change and if it does this platform will become extremely boring.
  8. My sources told me they would inform me within a day of Ledlum committing. They didn't say anything about today but I'll check back.

    A couple of days before the season opener. What happens if we just play him and tell the NCAA to go kick rocks?

    You know who complains about "cheaters"? The ones who aren't getting it done. Learn the game, play the game, be the best at the game.

    Social Media

    Definitely a use case. I believe an account was banned on a certain platform when a new owner took over that platform because the account tracked his flights.

    Don't fault him his brain has yet to fully thaw. #cabinthinking
  13. We're "relatively" close to signing the first ever interstellar recruit. We believe they're demanding more in NIL but really not sure that's what is being requested. It's possible we find out on a Tuesday. More updates to come.

    (C) Kel 'el Ware - COMMITTED TO INDIANA

    Welcome aboard Kel 'el!! Can't wait for him to get to Btown and put in some serious work with his future teammates this summer. Bloomington can be a road to redemption for you to do big things

    Furst and Essegian have decided they'll transfer to a school that will become the 17th member of the Big 1.o.

    [insert name of coach at my school] never lies to recruits or players that's why some transfer.
  18. We might have taught ourselves a lesson with the Ware fiasco too? Tomorrow will be an excellent day...

    (2019) C/PF - Kadin Shedrick to Virginia

    How about we get some players that compete and we win something? How awesome would it be to show recruits we have X number of regular season championships, Y number of conference tourney titles, and Z number of Final Fours over the last 5 years AND we prepared a bunch of players for the league. Cray to think of it in terms of actually winning. *We need to land the player before we've already developed him into a high draft pick after one year under Woody.

    Depends on what kind of milk bones they're giving me. I wouldn't want to be Uga if they're giving me that cheap ****.

    That's a really solid haul for IU. Are we thinking Ware plays WR and Ledlum TE? IF (!) they're announcing soon I think the odds increase they're coming to Btown but it's not over until it's over.

    I believe PETA has gone after some schools for the use of live mascots?

    2023-24 IUBB ROSTER

    It's possible he frustrates Pack. It's possible XJ picks up a quick second foul and sits for the majority of the first half because someone started showing him up. It's possible XJ gets a tech while running his mouth too. XJ would have been our best on ball defender but he wasn't immune to getting beat by his defender. When he was healthy we saw teams take advantage of our weak side defender shading more towards the lane and some of our slower defenders. Miami had a team fulls of guards/small wings with XJ speed and quickness that were hitting outside shots. Our defense most likely still gets caught in rotation with Kopp, Bates, Gallo, JHS, etc not being quick enough to close out to the shooter. There is evidence to that before XJ went down and I believe a few mentioned it early in the season.

    Not to get too far into it but it all depends on your perspective. Some might try to justify 9/11 or ISIS or the majority of what either side does in the Middle East as just "a religious endeavor." Anyone can take offense to almost anything. We could use these opportunities to learn and celebrate differences but that would be difficult because we're told to feel threatened and should lash out by degrading the other side. Good times. I didn't realize they had changed the name either. I wonder if this is common among other schools with Crusaders as their mascot.
