If a really good player hits the portal at the semester there is no way in holy hell they would want to be IU's 13th player. If there were significant injuries and a really good player wanted in with no scholly available, we would just have hem pay tuition and compensate their NIL accordingly.

Oh for F's sake.

Because it is damn near impossible to have the 13th guy on a roster be a guy who will play. Feels like he's a (maybe less hilarious) Tijan!

The totality of the evidence. And because I said so.

Unless, of course, we get Micah Shrewsbury. With IU’s NIL he will be elite from day one.

Wanting to leave an IU assistant job for the same role at OSU? If true, that’s not a good look for Woody.

In four years at South Carolina State he was never good enough on the court to get significant playing time or accumulate any significant stats. I cannot imagine he would ever be a rotation piece or be counted on to be a first line backup. But a 4.0 student in electrical engineering is a good way to fill an unfilled scholarship with a high culture guy.

Would be a 7'0" one year player who would, based on this article about his academics, clearly be a high- culture fit: https://scsu.edu/news/2024_dallas_james_graduation_05_09_24.php

Great album cover. Criminally underrated album:

C’est la faute de Woodson s’il n’a pas entouré ses grands de meilleurs gardes la saison dernière.

Yes - understood. But the point I was making is that other than JHS (and Gallo as a nice defensive and complimentary piece), for the last two years our guards have really been subpar. In college basketball that is a death sentence for serious success.

Jalen Hood Schifino was pretty good but not great as a point guard. He was an inconsistent freshman who shot 41.7% fg, 33% 3pt, and a 3.7/2.8 A/TO rate. Pretty damn good and a whole lot better than anything else the last two years, but there's no reason Rice and Carlyle shouldn't improve on that. With JHS we were ranked, tied for second in the conference at 12-8, a top 20 team most of the season, and a top 16 seed in the NCAA tourney. Not dominant, but solid.

Are we talking the all black Smell the Glove cover or the original? :)

Playing Heretic Pride by The Mountain Goats on Spotify while at work (what a great listen it is!). Yes; there's an album cover. Unlike 30 years ago, it's not a relevant part of the experience.
