Wildcats take today's game 7-4 despite the fact we outhit them 11-5. Unfortunately, 1 of their 5 was a 3-RBI double and another a 2-4 run HR. Thomas and Yarberry split mound duties this afternoon for IU. Denny went 4-4 but not a one of his 4 hits scored a run. Malamazian was our RBI leader with 2. Rubber game tomorrow at 2:00 ET.

16-0, OL coach developing players into NFL potential. Seems like a good enough pitch to me. I'm biased though. Lol. Best of luck whatever this young man decides. Hope he chooses 812FB when it's all said and done.

Then have fun elsewhere

Women take game #2 7-3. They trailed 3-1 going into the bottom of the 4th but scored 4 runs and added 1 in the 5th and another in the 6th. Hess, Mannon and Hooks held Illinois to 4 hits and walked 3. We had 12 hits Mannon going 3-3 and 3 other women 2-4. Alex Cooper had 3 RBI. We go for the weekend sweep tomorrow at 1:00.

Realistically don’t think we’re adding more than depth at this point. It’s a roster that should be able to contend in the top half of the B1G and make the tourney, we just missed the tourney this season with a decidedly weaker roster, my only real concern is depth to deal with injuries, fatigue, and secondary ball handling. We did get the number 3 ranked overall portal roster so can’t really fault how they spent portal money. imo this is the real build year where we do pretty well in conf and make the tourney, second round maybe one more, important point is this roster remains eligible so we can then add pieces next season after decent success and we continue to get better

These are all good points and things to hope for but if we’re going to be spending $20 million on a roster, we might as well go all the way so that we can make a deep run in the tournament and contend in the upper tier of the big. I know we’re not done yet and so this is just speculation but with what’s left, it’s not looking so great unless they pull a magic rabbit out of a hat, but one can only hope.

We could step on the court and not get embarrassed. Plenty of players to play single big one out.

Kinda suspicious that everybody who “voted” for him is now dead. Just saying. On topic I’ve been training for an outlast race in Oct and IU football games are the perfect thing to watch while I am regretting that choice. Just watched us curb stomp Alabama and anybody who wants to say Black is slow needs to rewatch that game

Ok so portal & recruit class so far 10 players, #3 rank portal class Guards PG Burton - 5’11, portal rank 24, 2 yrs elig CG Lindsay - portal rank 190, 6’3, 2 yrs elig CG Moody 6’4 4 star frosh Wings Mustaf - Guard/wing #88 portal rank, 6’5 2 yrs elig Harris G/wing 2 yrs elig #199 portal rank per 247 sports (4 star as HS recruit) Karvala - 6’7 4-star frosh Manhertz - 4 star frosh Forwards-Crnter Sherrell -#12 portal, 6’11 Forward-center 2 yrs Yigi - #37 portal, 7’2 center 2 yrs elig Sisley - 6’8 forward soph staff still portal searching at least for another forward. IMO need another PG. Bossi was really high on Harris as a 4 star HS recruit, for his shooting and inside game, he may be flying under the radar a bit here as buried on Duke’s deep bench. Should have pretty good outside shooting at this point, Lindsay 37% on 6 apg, Harris only at 30% but that’s on 1 apg in limited time at a Duke he’s a better shooter than that, Mustaff 37%, Burton 33%. would expect a nice frosh to soph jump from Sisley. Showed good promise in a number of games but hit the freshman wall. We are already bigger, more athletic and more skilled across the floor than last year except for Wilkerson (wish we had him this season). Need at least 2 if not the 3 adds for depth. Interested to see who it ends up being

I can see a wide range of things. We are very thin and counting heavily on the freshmen to fill spots. Which Most schools don’t do these days unless they are 5 star freshman. We’ve got 5 “proven” players and 2 others with upside. Then 3 freshman where 2 of them don’t look physically ready. But the staff should know this, so we’ll see.

I couldn't stand the fact he is known as the President who didn't talk much. How dare he?

Even mods have to play by the rules. Banned.

Talia Goodman with an update on Maddie's recruitment. We got specific mention along with 8 other schools but I'd say we're likely a dark horse in this recruitment.

Then he can go somewhere and get his a** kicked by us lol

Heard some inside stuff here and it wasn’t especially favorable for IU. Not saying it won’t happen but IU’s approach of “we are IU and why wouldn’t you want to be a part of this” isn’t fully resonating.

1924? That rat bastard Calvin Coolidge was President.

RIP to the Great Alex Zanardi. Maybe the most exciting dude who’s ever sat in an Indy car. And, man, the life he lived after the accident. What a bada$$.

Going to the WH as champions should never be a political issue.

'28 Landon Lampley scored 18 in the win over Darius Garland. He typically would be playing 17U but the Meanstreets 17U team is not in Fort Wayne. Andershock said it wasn't fair to the other team that he was playing 16U. Reported at 6'7" with a 6'10" wingspan. Told Raby that IU has been heavily involved with him.

This is why I sure hope that we are adding some quality depth in those last three spots because if we aren’t, then our team is going to be dog tired at the end of the games like last season and I would bet that we finish middle of the pack or worse.

I’m in Fort Wayne for soccer with my daughter. You think she will mind if I bailed on her and go to the Run N Slam. Kidding of course. @WayneFleekHoosieris Tequila Mexican restaurant any good?

This is why I love college basketball. I hope they finally fall off and this should be the season for it. But I like Mayer, Benter, Cox. Jacobsen has big potential. Ertel just seems like one of those guys. West who didn’t play this year was quoted as being their leading scorer in scrimmages. Guys like Burgess that have been waiting their time. And a really competitive, smart coach. I don’t expect a Marquette like season for them this year but I hope for it.

My critique on Dorn. Not a good enough athlete to play both sides of the ball in the Big Ten. Not much of a first step. He was the epitome of a streak shooter. Half of the ACC schedule is pretty soft. He could have solid numbers. He is senior, maybe with the 5for5 rule he could become solid scorer.

I’ve been wrong about Purdue before and CJ Cox is a really good basketball player, but what they will basically be doing next season is taking their second team from last season and promoting it to starter status.
