    Anyone know if this fella was able to survive?  I worry about every once in awhile but every time he pops up he still seems to be hanging on. I really feel like I should click on it to help him in some way but I am to eager to see if someone committed so I hit the X too quickly.  If anyone knows how he is doing let us know.

    Boy, I wasted a half hour reading through this thread when I saw there were 70 new posts in the hour I was at the dentist thinking someone committed. Instead it was a p***ing contest about expectations and Woody.

    Assuming Luke Goode commits on Thursday or Friday on his visit, Indiana is left with two scholarships. We know Humrichous is out of the equation and we can safely say that the backcourt is full. 
    Elijah Malone is considering IU, Notre Dame and Colorado and most things that I have read indicate Notre Dame has the closest proximity for him plus the clearest path to consistent playing time and the Fighting Irish are the leader. Who knows if that is accurate but it at least makes sense. If Elijah Malone commits to somewhere besides Indiana...that leaves Anderson from FGCU as the only remaining player on the target board and he seems unlikely once Goode commits. 
    That will bring up the last hurdle for the coaching staff in terms of roster construction. Ballo is the only true center on the roster and he's has not shown that he can play more than like 28 minutes per game maximum. If we play uptempo with the additions of Rice and Carlyle, that Ballo number probably is more realistically 26 minutes per game to keep him at maximum effectiveness. I really hope the Hoosiers target a player that could give us minutes as a forward or a small-ball center and ideally you'd find a guy that could at least be a threat from three. Obviously, the issue is going to be finding a player comfortable with that kind of role. I'd prefer that to finding a guy that is limited to just center. If that means we go "small" for 10-15 minutes per game, so be it. I think it's nearly inevitable we'll have lineups with guys like Mgbako or Tucker or Goode at "4" with Malik or a guy we have not added yet as the 5. Given our acquired depth at guard, that's a good thing.

    From my Purdue buddies he is content where he is at and basketball really isn’t that important.  He wants to finish school with a degree and enter med school plus his brother is a walkon for Purdue

    Not sure that sunshine being pumped is a thing that I'm reading.
    Yes ... people are really happy about the additions of Ballo, Tucker, Rice, Carlyle, and likely Goode. That's not sunshine pumping; that's acknowledging that those are good additions.
    I guess for me the ultimate "sunshine pumping" is when someone says that given these additions, their expectations now are (and I quote) "No more than 3 Bigten losses."
    Anyone that thinks that given these player additions we should be at a minimum 17-3 in a P5 conference is way overly-optimistic for me.

    We are all seeking results, but you can't win games in the offseason. So, what results are you expecting currently?
    Most who are "optimistic" are simply enjoying the roster overhaul. Of course there are a few extreme pumpers and extreme dumpers on both ends of the spectrum.
    I have seen a large majority excited about the additions, but guarded about what it means for next year (me included). Not sure what else you are looking for at this point.

    And you're apparently diving into the same insults that Purdue fans randomly chuck at IU.
    I'm pretty sure that everyone here is aware that great roster additions or recruiting gains are not a guarantee of on-court success, but for IU fans to be pleased that we have opportunities to build successful rosters? That is a cause for optimism.
