Yeah you could argue Michigan had been the B1G best program over the last 15 years even before May got there. Even Howard led that program to an elite 8. There is no argument to be made that IU was even remotely close to being the best B1G program the last 15 years. Much easier to turn around a program that was rolling that hit a little speed bump for 2 years then a program that’s last 10 years has been 1 big speed bump.

What’s mediocre about have a solid bench? Have we just convinced ourselves Harris is better than Dorn? Mediocrity is best case scenario if one of Sherrell or Samet get hurt.

This is weird. Had to pay 4 bucks for a weekend pass to watch EYBL streams last session but this one appears to be free. Probably because last session they made a grand total of 4 bucks.

The Illinois route is definitely going to be much more common.

Howard was the anti-May in terms of coaching, so the May hiring was doubly good.

It's an opinion on a message board that I clearly stated was speculative. If speculation isn't for you on this one... no worries! It's Friday at 5:00 and life is lovely.

Knowing Carr has a relationship with the coach doesn’t magically validate the rest of the story you invented. You took one small fact and built an entire narrative around it with no evidence. C'mon bro...

It's been established that the Euro coach that recommended Sokolov is a buddy of Carr's.

That’s not really “speculation” though. Speculation is connecting dots from actual information. This is just inventing a narrative with zero evidence and presenting it like insight. If you admit you don’t know whether DeVries has even scouted or spoken to the kid, then claiming he’s only trusting “Carr’s friend” is basically making things up.

Apples and oranges. In any event the building is underway.

Are you pining for mediocrity? The why is completely obvious

But...why did DeVries refuse to watch any of the tape? Sounds like Woody, not DeVries.

Glad to see this. They have really, really got to make sure they keep Branham hooked up.

Adams and KJ started the day at the 3SSB event in Mishawaka. Thomas Carr in Memphis for the EYBL event. DDV in Cincy for Branham and the UAA event. Limit is 4 on the road at any one time.

Yep. Yigi is also particularly foul prone. Something to watchout for. Knowing DeVries he’ll run some 4 guard sets and have Mustaf at the 4. Could be some solutions.

Michigan was built back up in a day after the Howard disaster.. ;)

Hey, Hoosier's kinda cute

Why? What does Harris do that Dorn can't? Is Harris going to be a 38% volume 3 point shooter this year? I think that is absolute best case scenario for Harris this year. He's not an elite athlete or a lock down defender. His best case scenario is what Dorn did last season while likely making twice the amount. What happens when Samet rolls an ankle in the middle of January and is out 3 weeks with a high ankle sprain? You going to play Sherrell 40 minutes a night with Sisley playing next to him for 32 minutes for 6-7 straight games? How's that going to work? What happens when Sherrell picks up 2 fouls before the first media timeout? Yeah good luck.

Good Lord no.

Think the building we’re looking for is underway. Can’t really just gloss over that we landed the #3 Portal class, and #25 2026 recruiting class, and now have multiple years of eligibility across the floor and a stud 2027 point guard already committed. You know the saying- Rome wasn’t built in a day. You don’t go from bottom of the barrel to NC, but you can build towards it, and we have some pretty good building blocks in place — I like the foundation, but yes have to keep building on it

I really want to know what we spent on Mustaf and Harris. Something tells me collectively it's between $2.5-$3mil. That's too much if that's the case. Dorn and a solid back up big that can play 15-18mpg would have been a much better bang for your buck.

It’s gross, but it’s more and more what winning basketball is gonna look like in the states.

If true, it’s roster building malpractice. Hell, we have posters here that would watch 15 of his games to get a scout for fun. Based on last season, he seems like a coach that takes on the challenge of coaching what he has. He doesn’t strike me as an analytical, ultra high IQ type guy that obsesses over the roster and the roster build. Not a type A personality. many of his/staffs choices left so much to be desired and added a level of doubt to every choice they make for me. This season is better by a landslide but leaves several significant question marks. Genuinely curious if this is 1 year rental/back up situation like Acinomivic was. Maybe practice against guys like Yigi and AS is better than playing low level German ball. Not sure this is a serious 4 year commitment or not.

That’s a very strong group. Excited about Soccers upcoming season.
