Lamar's chances of beginning the year on an NBA roster are barely more than zero. Lamar's chances of beginning the year on IU's roster are zero, even with a waiver. We've got a ton of guards and small wings, and didn't pay to put this roster together so that we could put Darren Harris or Bryce Lindsay in purgatory.

Agree with you 100%. It's semantics - again Iowa has been picked for an eigth-tenth-ish conference finish, and again they will overachieve.

Given the events of the week, an Only Fans logo would be epic.

Top Dogs IU O$U Oregon PSU (avoids playing IU, O$U, and Oregon) Can Break Through UCLA Wisconsin (also avoids playing IU, O$U, and Oregon) USC Washington Dark Horses to Overachieve NW Iowa Minny Destined for 'Not It' Nebraska Michigan (Impossibly difficult schedule) Illinois Sad Situations Rutger MSU Maryland Embarrassing Situation Puredoo

And exhibit 'A'? Sam Alexis and Aiden Sherrell had next to zero minutes on the court together. It wasn't to keep Aiden at the 4 spot for the tournament; it was to integrate Sam with the team.

After stuff like this link, I'm not wondering. To me it is clear that IU sees a path to getting Sam Alexis back for a fifth year, that Sam is already on board with the idea, and that all will try hard to make it happen.

He’s a lottery ticket that gets practically no NIL and has no real downside. If he sucks he’s Acimovic and if by some lucky chance he develops he’s a Hoosier.

Agree. The man can coach some hoops.

Annnnndd: Notre Dame adds a SoFi patch to their uniforms later the same day.

Will Stein says the primary reason UK will win is because of ... him. Will Stein is no longer at Oregon, so Oregon is now missing that key to winning; WIll Stein. Therefore, Oregon will not win.

Based on that final seven, his P5 offers have been rescinded.

Morganna. And no, I'm not posting that image.

You are reading my mind. I'm not a fan of Underwood at QB for Michigan at all. PSU will be really good - talented and with ISU transfer continuity and their excellent QB, and UCLA is underrated. Wasn't USC uber-talented last year too? Riley and his staff ain't it.

Sam; please get eligible.

Would mean that @Hovadipoand Darien Devries have come to agreement that SamYigi ain’t it.

Except for those years that Painter-led teams finished right around the bottom of the Big Ten standings. Don’t get me wrong, painter is a good coach. But I’m having trouble seeing how the front line players they’ve assembled will lead to a dangerous team. Since Edey left they’ve been a disappointment, two years in a row. Not bad, but severely overrated.

That's it, UVI was rolling us so I killed the stream.

The score is 35-9.

25-8 after one quarter. With neither Winker nor Stephens suiting up, this one will be stinkin ridiculous. Can we give Coach Kenny a little run?

Can Sam Yigi be as effective as Sam Alexis was last year? One would hope. And that will leave us with a shot blocking big on the court at all times. I just don't see us going to much of the twin towers set for the majority of minutes this season.

10-4 good guys. We were a little sloppy at first but Mustaf and Sherrell took over with physicality.

SUNY Binghamton is as close as it gets.
