LSU Coach and worst guy ever Will Wade still holding at ... zero. Enjoy: https://www.on3.com/teams/lsu-tigers/news/lsu-mens-basketball-transfer-portal-tracker-wades-roster-down-to-zero-players/

Either way.. I'd like to reiterate... our 2024 team should NOT have been playing on the road in the playoffs. Our loss was AT OHIO STATE, Notre Dame lost AT HOME vs A MAC SCHOOL

Pen has been put to paper ...

Here’s our boy diving for a 50/50 ball during a travel ball game in April. Follows that up with chasing down a loose ball and just casually burying a corner 3. If that doesn’t do a little something for you not sure what will.

We could never win another game and the pure joy the past 20 months have brought me would make every cent I’ve poured into this program in that span and before worth it.

Gonna go out on a limb and guess it was actually Indiana St.

One of these teams is not like the others!

He’s a really good volume 3 pt shooter. He doesn’t give you anything else however. Suppose you can hide him in certain lineups where you have a ton of size and athleticism around him. I think at this juncture he would be a very good take given how the rest of the roster has come together.

Not really basketball related, but if Cig needs an H-Back/blocker type à la Nowakowski, might be worth the squeeze. His rep Buddy Baker is a big IU guy.

I'm going with 'C'

Stronga$$ offers ain’t what they used to be.

Stats for Chase's AAU weekend. Don't overreact to how minimal his game stats were for his 4-point game as it was a garbage opponent. It was 63-39 after 3Qs and mercy ruled when it reached 71-46. Raby was there and said Chase's offense wasn't needed and he primarily served as a distributor. Key comment from Raby was that Chase seemed fully engaged throughout the game despite the inferior quality of the opponent and the scoring margin. The final game of the weekend was also a mercy rule ending. Raby was there for the entire weekend and made an interesting observation that in the 4/19 game Chase had 5 "hockey assists" in addition to the 1 he was officially credited with. Also, Raby reported that DDV was in Kansas City to watch at least one of his games. The next UAA event is May 15-17 in Cincinnati, OH.

Looks as if it's finally official. She will be a redshirt senior -- so we only get her for one year. Spent her first two seasons at Marquette before one full and one partial season in Ames. Averaged 6 points and shot 40% from distance last season. Kinda weird -- she shot 71.1% from the FT line as a freshman, 75.7% as a sophomore (both at Marquette), 82.4% in her junior season (played only 10 games before redshirting due to a hip injury), but only 48.5% last season.

Hopefully we follow suit. Don’t want to get left by the wayside

1. 11+ conference wins 2. At worst an 8 seed…even though the talent is there to be a 6. 3. Win your first game and don’t get blown out in R2

Cade Tyson also can no longer play basketball in college as it currently stands.

Haven’t watched Branham live but have seen plenty of highlights and his stats against good competition and there is a lot to like. Looks like a possible McDAA and a kid that could help IU from the jump. That said, I’m way past taking much of Rabby’s player evals serious. He gets so biased with certain players and just often sounds like he’s making excuses for when they don’t play well. His evals and commentary on Lander, Cupps and Booker to name a few were borderline ridiculous if not embarrassing. And partly why I jumped off that site. If Trevor has things to say, I’m all ears. He is an evaluator. Rabjohns is a journalist. Anyway, looking forward to seeing more about Branham’s play this spring and summer.

Would be nice to hear some juicy rumors or something....why does this staff have to be so tight lipped? :{

Sebastian Williams-Adams, Auburn, 6'8" freshman forward. Averaged 7 points and 3.5 rebounds. Shot 51/31/52. Ranked 52nd as a high school recruit in 2025.

Signed. https://www.insidethehall.com/2026/04/20/iu-basketball-announces-the-signing-of-duke-transfer-darren-harris/

Yeah, it's way more complex than what Simpson is leading onto. It's way more disruptive for the front 5 than anything else. And both Sayin and Simpson don't play OL.

He's mentioned before it's simply more comfortable and that's it. And he's the type of guy that.....I kinda believe him.

I'm not sure the doors to Cook will be open, but Assembly Hall will be, and you can get to Cook through there.

Story on Hare. Guess she's friends with Beau -- they were AAU teammates. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-womens-basketball-lands-iowa-state-transfer-guard-kenzie-hare/

I think we'll land someone tomorrow.

I think we're a top 4 Big Ten team as is if: Coach has the playbookk to match the skillset of the team. Burton stays healthy Harris is similar to the player he was expected to be out of high school. One of the freshmen is ahead of the curve and contributes when we go 4-out. We should be pretty competitive at the top of the conference. Michigan will still be tough and if Illinois figures out the point???? After that it's wide open. I think 14 conference wins is doable.

Hmm not often you see duke blow an offer that badly. Because there’s no way Dakich is right about him

Make the dance and...BEAT NORTWESTERN! I thought that should've been the goal this season, but I'm willing to look past that if we see progress next year. This program is broken, it won't be fixed in one season. #Babysteps

As backup 5 options go that would be a fairly stunning get.

I don’t buy for a second the assertion that IU’s scheme is vanilla. It’s very much not. Maybe I’m misunderstanding him. Do Gracie Bear’s boys pound you into submission physically and with flawless technique? Yes. Is it complex and leaves you guessing pre and post snap? Also yes. If Ty knew what they were actually doing before 5 broke him in half he may have thrown for more than 60 yards or whatever. The only thing he knew was coming was pain.

Three year’s eligibility, All-Academic everywhere and always, and 40% from three (though with limited scoring) as a starting freshman? Sounds like a fantastic team addition.

And why haven't any NC St players followed him?

That would have been a nice addition. Seems like we are counting big on Z. We’ve got some nice pieces overall but seems like we will need freshman to pop and that’s a tough strategy.

Listed as a 5'9" combo guard attends Hoosac School in Hoosick, NY. Plays AAU for Team Northeast on one of the lesser circuits. Haven't found a great deal of information about her but from her Instagram account she has a large number of offers. annamoser0 Hudl

Obviously high major schools see something that I'm not. One year of D1 basketball at a mid-major. Is he a Canadian legend? I'd take the guy from Irvine unless there's a Euro shocker.

This coming from the man who said Aaron Craft should have been picked #1 overall in a draft.

Given the huge amount of money spent on the roster, which will be near $20M, we should be thinking Sweet 16. That's not unreasonable. Everybody in this program is getting paid a lot, from coaches to players. Time to earn it and win.

It’s bad enough to crash in front of 70k people. Then you have to sit there in front of that giant tv, playing that stupid video, listening to that dumb song blare. That’s what you call a bad day.

Haines didn't seem to like it either.

So basically.... coaching matters.
