IUc2016

20-21 is the free Covid year

Rabby reporting Leland Walker highly likely to visit soon. Also looking at visiting DePaul.

Tyson Walker's Bart Torvik page just for reference. Really similar size to Leland and a pretty similar name (lol). But the stats are pretty comparable for the first two years at a lower league from an offensive standpoint. Again, not saying this will be Leland's projection, but just thought it was interesting. When Tyson jumped to the big ten his rating actually increased on less usage.

SIAP, but Leland Walker's efficiency page on Bart Torvik. Positives: Offensive rating - 107 (up from 90 his freshman year) Assist rate - 24.8 Turnover rate - 17.3 FT %: 83% Negatives: Offensive rating against top 100 - 81.5 (only two games, PU and Alabama) High usage rate: 28.6 (will he be able to fit in as a reserve guard with a high usage rate both years at EKU?) 3pt: 34 %

I know Purdue is tight on scholarships, but feel like they would have the best case to land him. Especially with Gillis and Morton leaving.

Day 1 of Spring Ball. Let's get the Cignetti era underway. Hoping we traded out LEO for WIN

Yeah portal land hasn't even gotten started really. We will start to see if some of these transfer rumors are true over the next two weeks as the tournament plays out.

I expected it to be the opposite, so at least that’s a positive

Agreed on Cupps, I hate to say, but I don’t see a player with much more upside than what we got this year. I am not sure I agree on walker though if he is a reserve guard. Seems like it would be a good add. We have plenty of space, and you aren’t going to get all big ten caliber guards to come sit the bench.

I want woody gone like everyone else but these situations aren't even comparable. Plus, can't the argument be made that they kept payne 1 year too long? So are they an unserious program? Goodness he went 4-28 and got another year. Our board would be losing their collective minds, just like right now.

Not a player… but calls Kenya Hunter, Kenyan.

Ain’t nobody remembering some meaningless 5 game winning streak. not after last night looking all too familiar. but yes, let’s run it back with a 66 year old coach who thinks it’s 1994.

Since the start of IU's 4 game win streak, IU is 21st on Bart Torvik. So, Woody saying we are playing like one of the best team's in the country is KIND OF correct...if you squint really hard. Will it continue though?

We also have to win the next two after those first two unfortunately lol

“It’s always still more to prove,” Ware said postgame. “So I don’t feel like I’ve proven myself just yet.” I loved this quote from Ware after the game when asked if he had proved his doubters wrong. Woody should take note...

Honestly, if you would have said before the year we would finish conference as the 6 seed and 10-10, I would have been tempted to take it. I would have guessed that would get us an 8-10 seed in the tourney. For a down year that is a step up from where we have been. But as this season has shown everyone (except for Woody apparently) there are other key numbers than just the W&L's.

And on the flip side… losing 5 games by 15+ doesn’t help

IU is not a tourney team. MSU should also not be a tourney team. They have looked like **** all season long except for beating Baylor by 30 in December.

Glad they won. it literally makes no difference but 18-13 sounds way better than 17-14 lol also get to avoid PU in the second round next week if it were to come to that.

changed it a bit.

Agreed. I couldn’t care less where the players come from, but the stability of our program is non-existent. Replacing 6-7 players each year is what we are looking at if they don’t get some roster foundation. Need guys who are ready to play with multiple years of eligibility so there is some balance. Pull 3-4 from the portal each year and go. Again, this is all theoretical as I don’t have faith this staff can actually pull this off.

Would be interested to see who gets shoved out then. Would guess it wouldn't be Yasir since he and Kenny are tight. That's assuming KP is brought on as an assistant (yuck).

Don't go anywhere, we are all in this together. You are a big part of why this board is by far the best discourse on IU sports and I have been on all of them.

I was really just meaning after the season. Not literally next season

There has been talk about getting a GM for next season. Can we get Woody a press secretary too?
