    Puerto Rico Trip 8/5 - 8/12

    So we know now that the team can perform pretty well hung over.

    (2025) - C Andrej Acimovic to INDIANA

    Acimovic is a 6-foot-11, 225-pound center from Bosnia and Herzegovina. He turned 18 in March and has four years of college eligibility remaining. Seems like this was a Drew Adams specfic get. Beat out Illinois and Florida it seems among other high majors. Seems like he MAY be a bit smaller than listed according to reports, but a highly skilled big that's probably a year away from being a real contributor. Sounds like it may be tough to get him to campus before the Puerto Rico trip. Has played in the U19 pro league in Europe. Probably was the likely back up plan if Goode was denied. Solid addition this late it seems, will likely be back next year.

    Adam Howard - To UTRGV

    Was he really insubordinate? Is that why he got fired, or did a paranoid coach think he was ratting him out to the AD and maybe a certain media site? Serious question.

    I think Mike Woodson won't get his flowers for what he personally did to contribute to this post count number.

    Luke Goode (6’7” F) to INDIANA

    I'd love for Goode to have a real season here, but I'm in different to him actually being on the team. I just find the basketball eligibility rules to be exceptionally arbitrary compared to something like Football.

    Luke Goode (6’7” F) to INDIANA

    Bummed he isn't suing as was hinted at. I'd like the dumb eligibility rules struck down.

    College Bball Thread

    I just assume that Trilly is like Curry Hicks Sage, and they process the info through burner world, and push what they feel are the most credible things they hear. They obviously have SOME sources that are legit. But the areas and conferences they have really strong info on are apparent.

    2025-2026 IU Roster

    I thought he was arguing the year he missed almost all of but came back late that he was under the threshold of games played. It was just in two spurts with one being very short at the end of the year. Football is so much better about this. You get 4 games, period. Doesn't matter when they are, and if you do that, you are good to red shirt once. Also applies to injury shortened seasons, but not to seasons where you just suck and sit the bench and don't play games.

    New Basketball Staff Thread

    You mean the beloved Hoosier who always floated around the second row on NBA teams, and concerns about the work ethic took him out of the running for a job they can barely get anyone to take at his Home Town didn't float your boat?

    BOT Changes

    I didn't love the decisions that board was making with Alumni elections, and I can't imagine with an idiot like Bopp named to the board that anything is going to improve, and likely will be political and stupid instead of just incompetent.

    Rabby also said that he wouldn't get "spun up" about Hawthorne and the visit was a woman's player.

    That was the way I understood it, but I have no way to know that 100 percent. Others here might.

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    I was thinking back and I thought that I had my family physician do this in my sports physicals as well, but I don't completely recall that and thought maybe i misremembering. But it seems it was common around the time.

    I believe he was paid out in full in part of all that mess last year, but I could be mistaken. Others would know more than me, but that is what I was lead to believe.

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    I think the timing of the announcements when guys went into the portal seemed to coincide with directly after there meeting. That made me believe most of them were asked not to come back or were not offered the money they got previously.

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    So one of the IU burners posted a meme a few days ago, that was a dog in front of a for sale sign in a yard. and Tyme liked and commented on it being something. Then people interpreted it to mean that Leal was going after a waiver and likely to get it. Leal does have a bit of a case, he came back and played an 11th game in the tournament so he's just over the 30 percent threshold like Goode, but there is no indication that he actually wants to do that or applied. UPDATE FROM RABBY HE HAS APPLIED, the burners knew something. https://x.com/JeffRabjohns/status/1918817099293540502

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    So the site that had a epically horrible off season coaching search where they never had any info, are now telling you that on this issue they are being asked to be quiet as they don't report any real info, and we are wondering if that MIGHT be BS?

    Isn't he 6'8 and 220? That's not guard size my dude.

    It should be everyone on the teams directive to dunk on Dakich every time they can. The coaching staff, AD, President, every student and fan should as well.

    Is that Ball State's Steve Payne's kid? I see everything only has his mother listed, and her name is not Payne.

    Hey are we still doom and glooming about the portal or are we feeling better. Last I checked we were only at number 4 in the portal rankings, but that may have been before the last two recruits.....
