    Not sure if this is sorta known or if the topic has been broached -- I've been on vacation and visiting with out-of-town friends the past couple days, therefore mostly out of the loop -- but according to Tyme on Twitter, getting both Goode and Anderson isn't really an option. 

    Guess it's one or the other.

    Not sure how the portal will continue to shake out for us -- and others -- so I'm not exactly sure what my expectations are. 

    But I hope at the very minium, we can finish in the upper half of the B1G and get into the NCAAs. At the maximum, I hope we can challenge for the B1G crown and get a top four seed. 

    I'm just damn and sick and tired of finishing every season with double digit losses. Would be awesome to head into the NCAAs (if we indeed make it there) with fewer than 10 losses for a change.

    FWIW ...

    According to our friend Tyme, Carlyle is a done deal. 

    Assures us all to be patient with the final pieces -- says there's work to be done with new names popping up. Some even not in the portal yet. 

    Sorta sounds like the Essegian ship has sailed. Tyme says it's not easy when you don't have a starting role to hand out. Not sure who would have a starting spot for him unless he goes mid-major.

    When I look at Twitter every now and then, I see plenty of movement in the women's portal -- but nothing from Bloomington. 

    We have a good core returning and some nice freshmen coming in, but IMO -- we could use a couple experienced players. Maybe a big and a shooter. Trying to replace Mack and Sara will be no easy task. 

    It seems the IU staff likes to keep things close to the vest when it comes to recruiting, but jeez -- it's getting kinda disappointing to see player after player enter the portal, and player after player commit to a new school and none of it involves us (well, I'm glad the players entering the porta doesn't involve us -- LOL). 

    I've really enjoyed seeing us become a player on the national scene in these past few years -- would love to see it continue. But you almost HAVE to add portal pieces to continue competing at that level.

    For the past couple years, it's mostly been us, Iowa and Ohio State as the B1G's top dogs. Maryland has dropped off a little from years of being a power. But other schools are catching up.

    Terry Jones just picked off Tayvon Jackson. 

    He's in his sixth year of college -- fourth playing. 

    2019 -- at Old Dominion: Reshirted 
    2020 -- at ODU: Did not play; season canceled by COVID 
    2021 -- played at ODU
    2022 -- played at ODU
    2023 -- played at ODU
    2024 -- playing at IU 

    Can he still take a COVID year? Guessing not, but since ODU canceled its entire season, it makes me wonder.

    ESPN takes a deep dive into why Bill Belichick is unemployed this offseason. 

    After interviewing with the Falcons, who showed the most interest, their hiring people compared notes -- he wasn't in their top 3. Arthur Blank wasn't necessarily looking for warm and fuzzy -- but he definitely didn't want cold and distant, and that's Belichick. 

    Pretty interesting reading.
