MemphisHoosier reacted to Lebowski in (2026) OT Kenton Mondeau to Indiana
Top 100 OT from Eau Claire, WI
247

On3
He had a couple of P4 offers. Now that he's committed to IU I foresee other P4 schools making offers. You can never have too many OLs. Let's hope he signs for IUFB.

MemphisHoosier reacted to RaceToTheTop in Kel’el Ware 2nd team all rookie
I think the biggest difference is Ware got better as the season went on. After the All-Star break, Ware averaged 10.3 points and 9.7 rebounds. Edey averaged 8.9 and 9.4.
And Ware is 21. Edey is 23.

I feel Ware was easily forgotten about because the fanbase was in such turmoil, but Ware was such a solid player, can you imagine what this upcoming years team would do with a guy like that down low?

3* OT take from Wisconsin. His other top offer was Iowa State, and then some smaller schools offered too.
With Bostad's connections in Wisconsin (and UW being down), we have been getting nice some recruits outs of that state.

MemphisHoosier reacted to Class of '66 Old Fart in (2026) - PG Taylen Kinney
Intends to take an IU OV in Sept. He'll be at Oregon the weekend of Sept. 6, and also plans to visit Texas, Kentucky & Louisville. New assistant coach Clark was recruiting him at TN and Kinney was quoted as saying they're pretty close as well as Clark is close to Kinney's stepdad.

Rod Clark is the lead. He was being recruited by Tennessee so there's probably already a relationship there.

Ke'lel Ware 9.3 ppg.
Zach Edey 9.2 ppg.
Just sayin'.

MemphisHoosier reacted to OGIUAndy in BOT Changes
So people only care because he renewed Buckner? What about "He falsely suggested that IU was unique in having alumni determine a public university’s board members, even though other state schools including Purdue University still have appointees that are elected by the Purdue Alumni Association."

Removing the ability to elect trustees and instilling them with political yes men and women.

MemphisHoosier reacted to Pagoda in IU Basketball News and Notes
I'm looking forward to it. I'm guessing we'll get the usual positive tidbits and hopefully this year those are true.
Key question: Will we get strength and conditioning hype videos? The classic sand pit and battle ropes? This is a quiet staff, so I'm not sure it's a given...

Little trickles of information should be starting.

Spot on.
Update: I heard this guy in reality owns a roofing business. Ha. Very close guess in the tweet.

MemphisHoosier reacted to Class of '66 Old Fart in New Basketball Staff Thread
Rabjohns answered the same question on 247. It entails scouting, player development, working with the rest of the staff on roster construction and the inevitable other duties as may be assigned. It is not intended that he'll be an on-the-road recruiter. One of the key issues to how his job is titled is that there is an NCAA limitation on the number of assistant coaches (5) a team may have but no cap on the number of support personnel.

Get Wilkerson to commit. ;-)
Aside from that I don't know.

MemphisHoosier reacted to Class of '66 Old Fart in 2025 Boys AAU Season
Raby and Andershock did a video podcast last night after Fri. and Sat. games were over. They mentioned a number of IU targets they've talked to said they are hearing not just from the @$$'t coaches but from DDV himself. He keeps that kind of attitude towards recruiting and his golf handicap will skyrocket! (dws at our former coach)

I hope the season isn’t in jeopardy starting to see ads for toilet paper again on Facebook. Reminds me of the pandemic

MemphisHoosier reacted to Pagoda in Transfer Portal w IU Interest
This is coming from an anon poster who generally believes in firing coaches quickly. I'm not in the need to give a coach four to five years camp.
To level set: CDD has been here for two (2) months. Not only has IUBB generally been bad for 25 years, CDD inherited Mike Woodson's four alarm tire fire of a program where almost all the staff and players were unusable and had to go. The only useful thing CDD inherited was one (1) 4* high school recruit who committed despite Mike. Even with our resources, no staff and no players is a tough starting point.
I think a turnaround can happen pretty quickly and it should be expected, but it will take some time when a coach inherits a four alarm tire fire. There is just no way around it. I don't mind folks being critical when we get some concrete signs of trouble, but it's been two (2) months. Give me a break. We have a whole new staff and roster -- we're going to have to wait and see how this goes because we just don't know right now.
The goal in Year 1 is not to be top-10 or whatever -- the goal is put out Woody's four alarm tire fire and establish a culture and foundation we can build from for years to come. Think big picture.
In my view, a reasonable Year 1 of culture and foundation building includes playing modern/smart/tough basketball, making the tournament, signing very good high players again, and then doing well in the spring 2026 portal. All of this will set us up for Year 2 when expectations can ramp up.
What I cannot see a reasonable case for in Year 1, and especially not two (2) months in, is comparing ourselves to programs that have been healthy and successful for many years or decades. Such as Duke. It's a free country, but if you're expecting this in Year 1 you're going to be miserable.
I don't think a turnaround in the portal era should take long, but it's also not going to happen over night either. I might suggest watching this program play some games and compete in high school recruiting battles. If we play bad bball and miss the tourney and recruit poorly, okay hit the panic button. I probably will. But until then, getting worried seems pretty pointless.
And hey, CDD has built programs before. His staff looks pretty good -- we've got offensive minds and a coach from a rich top-10 program liked what he saw at IU and joined us. CDD teams defend reasonably well. There is real talent on this team, notably shooting. This could turn out pretty good... we'll have to wait and see.
