Always been true!

He has five years in which he played at least ten games. I cannot imagine any way he gets a waiver…. amirite?

He’s 18 but likely super super raw for this year. So yes; Carr can earn his keep by finding a kid that is a big, athletic, and under the radar.

Knowing that Carr has a relationship with the agent, I’m hoping that the agent proved to Carr that this kid has a very high ceiling and is worth the investment.

Why can’t we be Duke or Michigan? I didn’t say we couldn’t be; I said we’re not. We have been a low performance program for decades that has yet to establish itself as anything but that. So if our talent evaluation and player development overachieve and prove to the best players that we are a destination, we can be. Until then? Enjoy IU football, because that’s exactly who we are in the highest profile sport.

Harris, Sisley, Moody and another big yet to have signed. That's a 9 player rotation. We're not Duke or Michigan - the current roster ought to be good enough to win 20 games and be a 6-9 seed.

He is only 18, so a true freshman in age. He has a really big, athletic, strong frame. The only thing he physically has in common with Andrej Acimocic is height and continent of origin. As Demo stated so well; this is the fourth big; now we need the third. As a fourth big? Sure! He's a lottery ticket athlete that might learn how to play.

Down the road if there's a staff opening, probably need to explore hiring whoever is responsible for developing all of these very high-level Lawrence North receivers. There is athletic talent everywhere, but Lawrence North is a public high school that is repeatedly churning out four and five star high school talent at one specific position. edit: Lawrence North's Head Coach is former IU O-lineman Patrick Mallory (no relation to Bill Mallory). A guy on the rise with full IU connections and loyalty. So YAY!

How good do they think it is? I’m thinking it is 11-9 or 12-8 conference record and 6-9 seed good. That’d be pretty good, especially if most of the same group returned for a second year at IU the year after.

Highly unlikely it’s a championship quality roster, but it’s better than what I’m used to or expected. Having to find 12 players for $20m isn’t as easy as one would think!

There were plenty of players with notable improvement under Woody; JHS as the season went on; Race, Killer Mopp, Gallo, ALeal. TJD went from 'talented but really inconsistent' to almost national player of the year.

All four IU post-season games were sellouts last year.

I'm a fan of this. Last year IU played four games after the regular season to become champion; OSU, Bama, Oregon, and Miami. With this: Eliminates a relatively meaningless conference championship game - the team that finishes 1st in the conference season should be the champ IMO. A team that made the conference championship game but wasn't a top four overall seed was penalized previously -not anymore A CFP bye week for the top 8. A CFP home game for CFP teams ranked 9-16. So under this system, last year's IUFB team would play: bye, 1 vs 16/17 winner, quaterfinal, semifinal, championship game. Still four games for the eight most successful teams.

He was 35.8% from three last year at P5 basketball Nova (which is completely solid). That's the number that should translate, moreso than his 40% from three the prior year in small conference ball. Also a fan of the fact that he played 28.5 mpg for a Nova tournament team; he was one of their featured players.

His mom is a also a UM alum. It's his hometown community research institution and a pretty good university.

On his Instagram he posts pictures from all of his stops. If I'm making an educated guess, he would be returning to Washington State, where the community really embraced him.

This is fantastic. Kentucky legend Dan Issel gets extremely truthy about Kentucky's recruiting struggles:

14 years with RMK? Damn, Ron Felling was tough as hell to have survived that.

To The Rescue

Momcilovic? Yes, the single best player in the portal would be a great fit at IU. and for every single team in college basketball.

Ja Morant and Reed Bailey partying in Memphis on a Saturday late night? Sign me up—I’m watching.

Iowa is a top 25 team and has fantastic offensive line development. Programs of that caliber (just like IU) are going to sell development and results, not guarantees of anything. Highly ranked, confident recruits largely want that; not any promises, because they think that they will rise to the top if allowed to compete for a role. So if this kid loves the vibe at Iowa and commits there? I get it. If he loves IU even more and commits to us? I get that too and think it would be the best decision he'll ever make.
