Prayers for her safety, and her family's peace.

Absolutely agree ^^ (can't quote on here)!  I was just poking around trying to see how many other schools have the same problems that we're experiencing now.  Lots of info out there!

http://arrestnation.com/2015-stats/     Very interesting site that goes along with our discussion

http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/antonio-allen-arrested-on-drug-charges/ar-AAbGBFJ   Just clicked over to msn.com to get some news- Allen is on the headline slide show.

Along the same lines, I was just in Florida, talking with some in-laws from Winter Springs.  They had been told that there was a major heroin highway from Mexico to IU.  They had no idea that I was an IU guy, so they weren't saying it as a jab to me.  Very sad.

Oh wow, no words. Prayers for you and family!

The Boogeyman checks under his bed for MSB at night

  Loved watching Dunbar.  Actually bought a San Francisco Demons XFL jersey for him!

YardBarker has Coleman going to the Cardinals at pick 55

Hoping that the cohesiveness is there again.  Last season, there was no energy or sense of teamwork. Also saw that we have 3 scholarships open and we're still recruiting heavily.  Love to get an athletic bruiser in the middle!

Transcript from HoosierScoop (yeah, I know), by Andy Graham.  Some talk on Coach Miller, Brian Agler, Coach Moren.  Other topics included at link, but moreso interested in the IUWbb talk.   http://scoop.hoosiershq.com/2015/04/fridays-live-chat-transcript/   Friday’s live chat transcript Posted by Mike Miller in Just sayin' on Friday, Apr. 24, 2015 at 3:33 PM. QUESTION: MODERATOR: Good morning and welcome to today’s IU sports chat. Thanks for being here. Andy, Mike and Jeremy: How are you today? Ready to get started? JEREMY: As ready as ever this Friday. Let’s dive in. MIKE: Hey, everybody. Doing well. Let’s chat. ANDY: Sure looked and felt like football season last evening as IU concluded its spring sessions with a public practice, with a ton of other IU athletes from sundry sports present for the festivities. Got one in the mood to … chat. QUESTION: With the circus that was IUWBB this offseason, what should fan expectation be for next year? Lost two huge assets for next year including Brooks and Stratman! Robert, Bloomington   JEREMY: Robert, Good question, and keep in mind that IU may not be done adding pieces for next season. The spring signing period runs through May 20. That said, I think you have to expect progress. For one, because the roster is at least a little more balanced in terms of guards and bigs. For two, because this will be the second year under Teri Moren’s system and with players who theoretically suit her preferences. That said, there won’t be a senior on the roster, so still a very young team overall. The full schedule hasn’t been released yet either, so maybe we can revisit some actual numbers then. MIKE: Tempered. They still don’t have a post player that can help them achieve the kind of conference breakthrough that they need. I expect they’ll do fine in November and December, but I’ll be curious to see what the non-conference schedule looks like when it’s released this summer. It’s been embarrassingly soft the last few years, something that is partly — maybe mostly — attributable to coach Jack. I know Miller wanted to beef it up a bit down the road, so I imagine we might see a game or two of his choosing this year. Personnel wise, I don’t think they’ll have a single senior. So I don’t know, but I’m not expecting a much different win/loss record than this year’s. Best case scenario is getting rid of all the drama that followed this team from beginning to end and giving Teri Moren an opportunity to try again with players who have bought in to a system they feel comfortable with. ANDY: Robert: Circus, maybe, who was the ringleader for the circus? I’m hardly an expert on the women’s program, but I sense this team perhaps had a clique or two. I find it intriguing that Brooks and Agler both ended up at Texas Tech. And that Agler’s dad, Brian, reportedly angled for the IU job and didn’t get it (and if so, just guessing here, perhaps due to some NCAA transgressions while at Kansas State in the mid-1990s). And that Agler’s dad just hired Curt Miller with the LA Sparks. All of that at least implies, to me at least, that Coach Moren probably had some issues to confront upon her upon arrival in Bloomington, both overt and covert. Could she and her staff have handled situations better? Maybe. I’m just looking in from the periphery. But I also don’t know that I’d lay all of the off-season “circus” at her feet. I imagine Stratman, who ended up never playing a second for Indiana, will head back to Butler. Muensterman, who seems like a great kid, wasn’t going to be a great fit, given the style Coach Moren wants to play, and Belmont seems a good avenue for her. As for expectations next season, well, the roster almost certainly isn’t set as yet. But there will obviously be some growing pains as Coach Moren rebuilds the program and reshapes it in the image she prefers. The hurdle got a little higher with the transfers, to be sure, but in the long run the program might be better off with players who are happy in Bloomington and anxious to play for Coach Moren.  

Just saw that the Thunder are heavily pursuing Billy Donovan

Wow, 5'3" guard.  Again, putting faith in CTM's ability to assemble her own squad, hope to see great results!

If she signs, I believe we still have 1 scholarship left. I'm glad to see Moren putting together her team, I just hope she's not simply scrambling to fill the roster after the mass exodus.

HovaHugs bail fund?

Just curious as to why you think Holt can't play anywhere else- were you familiar w him in high school?

This is where I'm really glad I'm not a coach/recruiter.  Kid looks like a tweener- could explode upward or stay where he is.  Can't tell what I think of him, lol.

Sent you a PM :)

Curt Miller named assistant coach for LA Sparks under Brian Agler, who is Taylor's dad.  Best of luck coach!!

Well, that really sucks.  I'm trying to be neutral w/ CTM, hoping she's assembling her own army.  But, it doesn't seem to be a normal coaching transition of attrition due to style conflicts or playing time.

Tia Elbert, who left Marquette, visited this weekend. 8.6 ppg, 3 apg, Big East All-Freshman team.

It's really ok to be optimistic and to let others do the same

  Love redfish blackened,mmmmmmmmm

We've got plenty of Crean coaching, Crean recruiting and info on Crean's salary in the appropriate threads. Please keep this about Alabama rumors.
