Ponds in the 1st round of ESPN’s latest mock. Man, it will be so cool when an IU kid is walking on stage at the draft and I want it to be Ponds. Love that kid.

2 months from now on 8/30/2025 our beloved Hoosiers will kickoff the 2025 season against Old Dominion. The Monarchs are coached by Ricky Rahne, Virginia-based, compete in the Sun Belt, and is a rival to James Madison. Coach Cig faced Coach Rahne twice in 2022 and 2023.

A lot of the JMU transfers are familiar with ODU and QB transfer Grant Wilson is extremely familiar being that he came over from ODU. Wilson ended being the back up to Colton Joseph. Joseph is a runner and ODU in general are a running team. ODU is a team that has a good core coming back, especially at the LB position.

Since there is familiarity between the coaching staffs, this game might be closer than the current spread (IUFB -23.5).

Dallas James return, anyone?
anyone?

FWIW; I’d be completely good with Hatton as our 13th player.
He bleeds cream and crimson and he’s a serviceable ‘break glass in emergency’ big.

Both gallo and ballo have been working out with NBA teams. Hatton. 

He fits in with OKC. Grabs, holds, hacks on defense. Perfect match. 

Coach Woody: “Son, again… calm down.”

Yup, been a minute since a kid has seemed as genuinely excited about committing to IU, and, yes, he seems to be graciously acknowledging all of the good will. Sign of good parenting. 1 side note: I may simply be too old at this point to ever get my mind around a 17 yo referring to a college HC as DRock, which Moody’s done a bunch, but clearly it’s affectionate and respectful so I just need to get over it.

The return of the “Hurryin’ Hoosiers”.  Branch McCracken is smiling…along with Kokomo’s own, Jimmy Rayl…”the Splendid Splinter”.  :)

First high school pickup of the new staff. Welcome aboard young man. Solid list of offers. 

Finland you say?

If you fill your roster with Georgia kids, you’re gonna be a in a pretty good spot in all likelihood. 

'Cuz you know, Indiana already has (had) a king... :D 

Luke Goode is a pretty damn effective college basketball player. For me, that has a  real effect on this coming season.

UCLA is quietly building a solid recruiting class. They also brought in Nico Iamaleava. We lost Jamier Johnson to them as well. I won't be surprised to see them make some noise this season especially with Coach Sunseri calling the plays. They have a favorable schedule. PSU and OSU are probably their toughest games they have this year.  They come to Bloomington Oct. 25 and I see that as a potential huge game for both schools. 

Goode waiver or Moody silent commit is my guess.

My radar is up, they haven’t tweeted random hype stuff in quite awhile.
