I fear that Antonee Robinson has money wagered in favor of Bosnia

I Will Be there.

Yes, the previews of the biggest home game in program history have started. This is an excellent OSU podcast video; unlike many, these guys really have done their homework and have a strong IU representative as one of their four.

The Congo is kind of a hellhole of a war-torn, disease infested place. The Congo is also currently up 1-0 against mighty England in the first half of their knockout round game.

Clearly a parody because #4 has never won jack squat.

Great stuff from Coach Bielema: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/illinois-coach-bret-bielema-calls-iu-football-coordinators-haines-and-shanahan-extremely-special/

Kinda odd that he’s not booking the IU, UK, and UL visits together.

Keion!! One of the greatest almost-not quite Hoosiers of the 21st century.

Oh shoooot… we gots us a gen-you-ine OldOff!!

What’s better than a Guay? A PARAGUAY!!

Alisa Williams. Veteran forward that will be in the rotation.

Brazil had been dominating the second half. It was a matter of time.

National Championships - first 125 years: 0 National Championships - last two seasons: 1

Another real problem with Clark? She just isn't all that good or winning of a basketball player. She has an excellent supporting cast, yet the team is 10-8 with her in the lineup (1-0 without her). She is a talented offensive player, but more of a Pete Maravich/James Harden/Trae Young type of talent than a Kobe/Michael/ Brunson/Wemby/Jalen Brown, etc. etc. 'makes everyone around her better' type. A career 41% fg, 33% 3pt shooter on way too high volume and a negative on the defensive end. So the league and media has instead hitched their wagon to a 'great white hope' player who may not be up to the task. This happened with Larry Bird (also a surly guy on the court) but the key difference was that Bird was great enough to lead great supporting casts to multiple championships; he made the players around him better. I don't think that Clark is good enoough to do that, and that will only exacerbate the situation.

I was thinking primarily about a 7’2”, 280 kid, but a good attitude to go with it is pretty stellar. Edit; and I completely forgot our very forgettable year with 7’0, 280 Ballo. He was big with a shity attitude I guess!

Seems like Samet is everything we haven’t had for awhile.

A very reasonable path to the round of eight and then, as it should, it gets much tougher. No gimme games, but there’s a path and a way.

It’s the least “here’s the guy that is gonna develop my game” photo ever.

I actually trust CDD, Kenny, etc. to do this exactly right. FWIW, among these pictures is one that is really ridiculously depressing. Looks like a teenager pushing grandpa’s wheelchair at the convalescent home:

If we try really hard (in other words, in-person attention whenever possible), that takes away our ability to spend effort on others, and we would still have a very small chance of success. Unless this kid’s agents have expressed interest in IU this is a nonstarter.

My birthday gift from the board?

We brought in Darren Harris specifically to fill the Lamar role. Ain’t no way we’re bringing in a wing shooter at this point even if we could.

Sam Alexis would be such a great low cost fit for the current roster.

There is no reason that I'm aware of to suggest that this player has any interest in IU whatsoever.
