Since most hated the roster construction anyway probably a good thing they are not returning. Ironically at the end of the year the 1 kid most thought would be gone is the only one to stay. Major props to Sisley for sticking is out

Sisley in Assembly Hall getting up some shots

Let's just start Andrej, Trent and the 3 freshmen next year so we can get the #1 overall pick in next year's recruiting class. That's how this works, right?

I like creating fake things to be upset about too sometimes. Literally nobody will use Dorn leaving as an excuse in the same way they (factually) talked about us not being fully staffed for the previous portal cycle.

From what I understand, Ryan Carr is doing most of the evaluations but not the negotiating.

I wouldn't count Dorn as staying yet

Darian DeVries right now.

I for one, trust David Lee with my life.

Sisley and Estrella starting following each other tonight

lol. That actually drove me nuts. Get the neon shoes off the court please. Yes get off my lawn too.

Maybe that means we've got his roster spot signed, sealed and nearly delivered.

Dorn in the portal reported by ON3

Sadly, this only feels like a slight exaggeration.

Nailed it! Lol

100% agree. 1 tool players who can’t always produce that tool are too hard to win with. I didn’t even want him for rotation purposes. Would much rather give those rotation minutes to Karvala because eventually he’ll be able to give you more.

I think we're selling Sisley short starting at the 4. He showed signs of being able to do multiple things with above average athleticism. Improved shooting and a full year under his belt, he might be a really nice piece. Great culture guy! Pay big on a PG, Wing, and BIG

Hey partner, Uncle Quinn is always watching. So be nice.

Cig would agree.

They best be in good position to announce some commitments semi imminently if they're asking a guy like Dorn to take a pay cut. Not just "feel good about" prospects. IMO

A first team Big East all defensive team is really nice. Probably be at a bit of a family discount too, which allows for more spending on other needs. As part of the guard rotation?1,000,000% yes for me.

Interesting. Don’t think I want another PG that teams can just go under ball screens on but will say this about Clark: have been clamoring for a good while for a kid who just makes a team their own and he’s that guy. Is also the toughest, most competitive kid on the floor all the time.

This right here. Any moron can look at a Bidunga or Wright and say they can play. My daughter who couldn’t tell you which ball a basketball is can do that. Carr’s job is to find undervalued assets and I’m 100% confident he can. Dude drafted Taelon freakin’ Peter last year who didn’t even start at Liberty and that guy’s gonna hang around in the League for a long time. So I’m gonna give them the presumption of correctness on every kid they bring in, no exceptions. Adam Olsen, no problem, welcome to the family. Now if they go out and go 10-25 we’ll need to revisit it.

QB Tyler Cherry appears to be a full participant. Pretty good news.

It’s not. IU basketball isn’t a thing anymore. Is this the year some of you realize it and treat them like the mediocre program they are or just going to still hold out hope and think they are relevant in college basketball? I hear the football program is rolling though.

I am a man of my word and you have a steel trap for a brain

Very likely that Dorn stays; if Dorn was gone we’d know by now. For me, the intriguing thing about Dorn is that he had the foot fracture and couldn’t train going into last season. Hoping that a full offseason allows him to improve his athleticism.

lol. Indiana ain’t got any Juice. And especially DeVries. Maybe should have kept Woodson on as the Closer. This was always gonna be this way unless we overpay. We aren’t willing to overpay, so we will get what we get. I’ve been ahead of this from the beginning. Could see exactly how it was going to go. When we sign another middling roster during the pay to play era, the fanbase will respond accordingly. Simple as that.

Just need Adam Olsen to commit now to really get the doomers going. (We do really need to get a top portal guy to commit soon to help get the ball rolling though)

Let DDV cook.

I get why he passed on the IU job, but he did pass on it to coach at Michigan. He’s the “enemy” in the world of CBB. I sure ain’t pulling for him because he’s an alumni.

CDD and Carr with Sisley's teammates:

Oof. **** off Dusty.

Scott Dolson himself said as much. Basically “last year was a scramble but this next season we have everything in place and everyone should expect better results”. Paraphrasing a bit but when the AD makes a comment that strong we should listen.

I didn't know Dorn was leaving yesterday, but that's why I've been thinking we're going for 2 of the spendy guys max this cycle. Ryan Carr is going to need to earn the love he has been getting. Eager to see what he comes up with.

Great news. I’d bet he’d be staying if the staff said he had a good shot at starting and kept his NIL competitive. Hopefully he heard the opposite

If our first two signings are Olsen and Darren Harris this place is going to be a comedic goldmine.

Boy, I’d get behind this in a hurry.

JP Estrella has killed Indiana basketball.

One guy signed elsewhere. No need to go crazy…just yet.

You need that in today's environment. Nice guys finish last. It's just true. You want a killer not a nice family guy.

UK rumor that we bid the highest for Ace Glass. Seems to be name we need to pay more attention to if true.

Nobody will blame it on Ryan Carr not having a full season to "get going" ... Everybody believes the staff should have anticipated the need to flip the roster again. So, none of the examples you provided of imaginary excuses for next year will be used by the fanbase.

I’d guess, knowing absolutely nothing, that Sisley +freshmen aren’t $500k/each. That said, if the $14m number we’ve seen thrown around is true, then Burton + Estrella at $6m total makes some sense, and if you assume the freshmen + Sisley are indeed $2m, that leaves $6m to still play with. In that scenario, I’d expect the staff to pay up for either a wing or stretch 4, but probably a wing, that is in that $3m range then to “moneyball” the rest. Looking at CDVs West Virginia team is roughly what I think he’ll try to build this year, but possibly with slightly more talent (although Javon Small was a monster).

Replacing 8 or 9 guys with $10-$14 million is going to be a tall hill to climb again this year. We are going to be in a spot where landing 1 or 2 highly thought of guys severely hampers your ability to pick up much of anything else.

Just read staff asked him to take a pay cut...take it fwiw.

One can only hope.

Quiet, we’re filling out a roster spot with that 173 bucks! He don’t need AC!

Solid day, 2 yr old HVAC went out,checked the breaker, no go, called the installing company, said they had no other advice and set up a $175 diagnostic visit. Opened the air handler compartment and found a blown $2 fuse and cancelled the appointment and saved a nice wad of cash. Accepting recommendations for what $173 player I can buy with my newly found NIL money.
