Alrighty, there’s the 4th big. The 3rd big is now on the clock.

Don't see anywhere, where they list his weight. I think we will still need another serviceable big and back up PG

Since he's reported as 18 years old, I've listed him in the '26 recruiting class. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-adds-german-7-footer-clemens-sokolov-to-2026-27-team/ https://www.insidethehall.com/2026/05/08/iu-basketball-lands-commitment-from-german-big-man-clemens-sokolov/

Sweet

Another big has committed. https://www.insidethehall.com/2026/05/08/iu-basketball-lands-commitment-from-german-big-man-clemens-sokolov/

If I like my job and where I am living the only way I would move is if there was a significant different in the salary if I moved on to a new job. And there are certainties in staying -- bonds with friends I've made, having more of a known role, etc. It isn't as simple as just going to whoever offers the most money.

Really I googled and couldn’t find it. Big day to do it on Halloween

Homecoming is against Minnesota. Already been announced.

We largely agree on everything here... especially no more mulligans. I'm just saying, until they produce results on the court, it's hard for me to say with any real conviction that the program is objectively moving in the right direction. The portal approach was much better this time around but I don't think that necessarily means the program itself is trending up. We should have a pretty good to very good starting 5. Beyond that, a ton of questions and need to see how the puzzle pieces fit together. We could finish a fringe T25 team. Or we could get nothing out of our bench again, lose Sherrell to the NBA, have a few guys transfer out (Harris, Sisley, Manhertz, the last 3 guys we get this year) and wind up needing to fill a lot of gaps again for next year. That's a worst case type of scenario, but it's just as much a possibility as the best case IMO. The reality will probably end up somewhere in between IMO

lame

Interesting, I know a couple on the board are going to the game, and they gave you 4 months notice of the change.

I’m glad you agree that the talent level is trending in the right direction. And objectively, isn’t signing sophomores with 2–3 years of remaining eligibility a much better long-term approach than building an entire portal class around seniors? Talent-wise, I agree, though to me this looks like a fringe Top 25 roster. If DeVries doesn’t outperform that level, then criticism of the coaching would be fair. But if he overachieves the way he did at Drake, and arguably at West Virginia given the injuries they dealt with, then hopefully IU found the right guy. Either way, we’re going to learn a lot about this staff and the direction of the program next season. There's no more mulligans.

Looking forward to hearing about our non conference schedule at some point. UConn has games vs Kansas, vs Ohio State, @ Arizona, vs Illinois (in Chicago), vs Duke (Vegas), and vs Michigan (Boston). Also finalizing a game vs UVA at MSG and rumors they're trying to add Arkansas to the schedule.

Well guess that’s not homecoming like my info said. **** not sure I can go that night

I guess I assumed that most deals are 1 yr. That would make sense though.

USA Basketball Men’s U18 National Team Training Camp participants. Several IU offers in the '27 class.

The way you save money through retention is signing guys to multi year deals and then they outperform the money

.....I think Sales is saying, "......there seems to be a trend and a reason High Flying IU is "Double Dipping" at his HS. Noticably, good talent there.

@Pagoda and @str8baller have made some really good posts explaining it more eloquently than I could.
