Ok, I enjoyed chuckling through that article until this: Indiana 28, Kentucky 20 (Music City Bowl) This is a very serious article, Stu. We must do everything we can to make this happen. For me everyone.

I can't either. I actually hope we aren't. This whole backup big thing was more important last year b/c we didn't have the guards to play smaller. We have solid guard depth next season and I think a lot of us will be disappointed if we're not playing more guard heavy lineups instead of having a backup big log 10-15 minutes. And in that scenario I don't know how you sell any player above the "serviceable" level on that role.

I agree. I was mostly pointing out the ironic/ridiculous take of Goodman basically writing off Mgbako b/c he didn't shoot very well from 3 as a freshman and his "one suggestion" being that we go get Stojakovic b/c he'll be our answer shooting the 3, even though he wasn't good as a freshman.

That Goodman video is hilarious. Yes, we need better shooting but this whole take made me laugh out loud: "What did Mgbako shoot from 3 as a freshman? Don't know but it wasn't good and he was supposed to be a lights out shooter." "My one piece of advice is to go out and get Stojakovic b/c he's a lights out shooter....well, he wasn't as a freshman, but he will be."

Correct. Doubt you’ll get any argument there. Just confirming that no dose of reality has been thrown on this thread of folks discussing new portal additions here in April. Thank you.

Yeah, I’m guessing I won’t get an answer, since there isn’t one. I’m as down on Woodson as most could reasonably be, and I’m plenty skeptical of how these new player will work out. But the level some will go to downplay everything is just mind numbing. But, I guess there is no downside. They either get to say they were right or forget about it and enjoy better than expected results.

What’s the reality we all need to know? I’m sure everyone would love to know this exact reality now, here in April.

Out of curiosity, what is a program changer? Which one player that is available, transfer portal or freshman, that is singularly a program changer?

I’d compare it more to Tennessee football. There isn’t near as much working against Indiana basketball as there is Nebraska football. The right hire has the script flipped in no time. I agree with you that watching the UK coaching search (along with the UofL search) is concerning for us. But young Brucie will be a spry 65 next offseason. He’s got a solid 3 final fours in 7-8 years left in the tank.

Actually responding saying it’s not worth a response and referencing the thing not worth responding to in another response is a heck of a way to show something isn’t worth a response. :-)

I've got a pretty open calendar for the first time in a while, sounds like some visits start up today, and this thread is gettin' sassy at 8:12am my time. Let's get weird. EDIT: big ol' bucket of water thrown on the sass fire in the next post. Still plenty of opportunity to get weird within board bylaws.

Kaulie and Old Fart being in a fight with Chris in the middle is arguably the most significant news this thread has seen to date. And we thought it was a dead period!!

Not knowing **** about **** is my favorite thing to accuse somebody of, deserved or not. Top 5 TV line of all time? Who could know? If you’re not on beers, check out these new THC infused drinks. They keep figuring out new loopholes in the Ag bill and many have the real deal in ‘em. I call it elbow sauce. Have one and try to tell me you disagree with the name.

Maybe run a few Myles after that Strom and you can skip the rice.

Would you say this about any power 5 program?
