Been calling this one as a real IU possibility for a few months based on the family IU ties but expected role and Alexander to KSt may change his thought process.

Makes Brian Kelly look classy by comparison - YIKES!!!

I don't disagree with our friend DD. But at least Wade spent a year at N.C. State. DD spent one week at West Virginia before bailing. LOL.

Nothing is guaranteed but she reminds me of Shauna Green who was elite at lower level and has thrived in Big Ten. NW is essentially Princeton of Big Ten academically. Just as I predicted Green would succeed at Illinois and Gearlds at Purdue and Coquese Washington at Rutgers would fail at time of hires in league, i have a very good feeling Berube will succeed at NW while Tanisha Wright at PSU and Gary Redus at Rutgers will fail. Nothing is guaranteed, but the coach who build a mid-major into power (not inherited it like Archie Miller which often fails) at their level like Green or Berube always has best chance at success while sentimental alumni hires, failed p5 coaches, or someone with no head coaching experience at D1 level almost always fail.

last year it was --- "YESSS, he's a good shooter" this year it's--- "NOOOO he's midmajor" lolol

Carmel, IN HS graduate. Belmont forward Sam Orme, a 2nd Team All MVC Selection, intends to enter the transfer portal, a source tells @247Sports. Averaged 12.7 PPG, 5.0 RPG and 1.8 APG this season, shooting 39.7% from three. Repped by CAA Sports.

Let's hope he gets acquainted with all the weapons on the team and spreads the love this year.

Diabolical

thank you

Think it’ll happen sometime this week. Spring break was last week

How in the world can we forget double D. The best college mind of the past 50 years.

Berube has been sort of a magician at Tufts and Princeton. But, keep in mind that she made it to 2 championship games with Tufts in DIII and lost both of them. She is now heading into the Big 10, which is, essentially, a buzzsaw. She and Shea Ralph (Vanderbilt) are testing whether Geno, long-term, will have created any kind of enduring coaching dynasty. Other Geno products have flopped big time in the coaching ranks.

You forgot one:

Will Wade Stinks

Who else here thinks THEY are Red Auerbach?

Arek Angui looks like too much of a risk. Had miniscule numbers last year. I don't understand how some teams manage to scoop up great foreign players--Blanca Quinonez at UConn being most recent example. We end up with Kadlecova, Sandvik, & Ondineme. If you are looking for change-making bigs in the portal, you probably need to be a Texas (Breya Cunningham) or Oklahoma (Beers), which is looking for the last piece to make it to the top. IU, at the moment, is looking to be rescued from mediocrity . . . and that's not a big sales pitch. There is MOMENTUM in recruiting. IU lost it badly, and is trying to get it back.

Rules? We don't need no stinking rules.

Not to mention Brian Kelly having most recently been there. It's like LSU created a list of the most unlikeable coaches and said "ok hire from this list".

Throw that thing on landscape mode Mike. I need to see the release.

Tbf, our fanbase has spent 25 years watching Davis/Crean/Archie/Woody try to coach. That’s like going to the hibachi place and getting Michael J Fox as your chef. You can’t blame ‘em for thinking “hey, I could do better than that!”

Hard to not get excited...

I think there are a few posters here who think they’re Red Auerbach.

First presser in a long time. Spring practice has kicked off. This is funny (per Osterman): "Cignetti asked about Nick Marsh. Says he loved his film last year vs. Maryland. "I didn't love those gold shoes he came out in today. He learned what getting your @$$ ripped is all about. I don't know if he got much of that at Michigan State." This draws laughs.
