    iubirdman got a reaction from Class of '66 Old Fart in Dayton xfer G Amber Deane to IUWBB   
    The last line is the important one here, we still have a spot open, have not heard anything new or a timeline for a Corsaro decision, but would have hated to see us not have one available for her had she wanted to come here.
    Looks like a quality signing for the program and gives us a little more perimeter size, could make a really good guard wing rotation with Buss, Cahill, McBride, Elbert, Deane, and hopefully Corsaro

    At this point not sure what our odds are with either, but to included on lists that include the likes of Baylor, Louisville, UCLA, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington is big for the program.  Be nice to be able to get Corsaro first, pair her with Cahill and Buss (with McBride off the bench) and we would have some really good perimeter scorers.  I would think that would have to help with Evans the following year, especially if we have another successful season.  Noce to be considered by a McDAA on the womens side this year and a top 10 national recruit in 2017

    iubirdman got a reaction from KelleyHoosh in Game Thread - Beat. Michigan.   
    OK I know everyone points to the Mizzou win as a great win last year, but in all honesty how good was Mizzou???  Yea, Yea I know they finished in the top 15 in the country, but in reality thier best win was Minnesota was't it?  They beat a 7-5 Fla and an 8-5 TAM group, but that was about it and neither of those teams were great.  
     
    If that Mizzou team were in the B12 still I doubt they would have been ranked, but not voter was going to keep a team out of the polls that was in the SEC title game, no matter how bad the east was.  The 2 really good teams they played they were outscored 76-13

    iubirdman got a reaction from Napleshoosier in Darius Latham suspended indefinitely   
    Part of me thinks this may be what the first suspension was about as well.  Suspend for the opener due to suspicion/reports of something.  With the issues that were going on at the time, have to take a stand, even if proven false.  Returns as investigation is ongoing, investigation into whatever ends, presents the findings, and now the suspension is indefinite.

    As for waiting a week, I wonder if having Bridges and Jones on campus over the weekend played in to the decision to wait?  Huge recruiting weekend with 2 major targets in town, doubt you want to give a kid the boot while future players are in town

    Honestly this had to be done in my opinion, can only deal with stupidity for so long.  As it relates to basketball, honestly, I may be the only one who thinks this, but it may help.  I really think with Max's physicality and experience he will give us more than Emmit would have this year.  If you watch last year Holt played well when he was only going to get 2-3 minutes run at a time, more than that he was exposed.  I like what Max could bring and let's face it, the 4 will be TW and Hartman, so playing Max at the 5 I think makes us better than playing Holt there, esp if needed for extended minutes.

    iubirdman got a reaction from Defenserocks28 in Weak Indiana HS Senior Class   
    Look at our recent run of instate talent we have had commit (last 4 years)
     
    Sr/would be Sr
        Yogi--Arrested as a sop
        Patterson--Never Qualified
        JH--Drug issues and left (on own or asked to leave but should not be here)
       Hanner--if you want to include, DUI, issue with DD and transferred
     
    Jr/would be JR
        Hartman--very pleasant surprise, by all accounts represents university in right way
        DD--multiple drug and alcohol arrests
     
    Soph/Would be soph
      Lyles--committed and withdrew commitment 3 years later
      JBJ--decommitted and then stayed, seems to be good representative of the university
     
    There you go the last 8 kids from Indiana to commit to IU, and only 1 from the time of the initial commitment has been incident free and not bashed on here for a decommitment or off court issue.  
     
    If these are the kids that are supposed to get what it means to play for the Hoosiers we are in trouble.  Obviously Jordy and Cody got it, but I would rather have out of state kids like Vic, Moye, potentially Bryant, and others that get it and take advantage of their opportunities
