Is there any indication he can play? I know nothing about him.

However we build it, and everyone will have an opinion on what the best strategy is...I just want to get to a place where we have some semblance of roster stability year to year. Good mix of high school kids, multi year and development guys, and single year players here and there where it makes sense. I think that is what Carr hit on, during his interview...and mentioned it may take a few years to build that structure. Maybe that isn't the formula anymore, but the huge roster turnover every season doesn't seem to be the ticket IMO.

Anyone know anything about Michael Cooper, at Wright State. Freshman from Jeffersonville. 6'3/185lbs, averaged 13.4 pts, shot 36.4% from three and 41.1% from three in league play Was combing an Indy star list of Indiana High School Players now playing D1, looking to see if anyone stood out.

Maybe we just start over again haha. This isn’t it… Different year, same thing…for a decade.

No excuses to not to come out prepared and play hard tonight... Will we? TBD

I think you are right, in him being more of a face the basket vs. back to the basket big in prior years. For some reason I remember people being excited when he committed about his ability to face the basket, put the ball on the floor and shoot outside (although relatively low volume). Wonder if the initial plan was to use him in that role, but failure to secure other bigs put him in a more traditional 5 spot.

IU - 73 USC - 76

To all of us long time faithful...nothing has ever felt so good. The Hoosiers, OUR HOOSIERS, are at the top of College Football. What a dream... The Hoosiers are Flippin Champs! And the best part...CIG IS RELOADING FOR NEXT YEAR!

Michigan - 87 Indiana - 68

This is fun…

Can someone confirm why Drake is still out? At this point, are we looking at a medical redshirt situation?

Sigh. We are what we are, and have been for some time now…just not good. Thank Goodness for football.

I heard he jumped to high five a fan, landed wrong...potential patella injury. Horrible if true...to miss the CFP run and potentially impact next year/NFL...

I took a pretty long break from social media, including the board...but I couldn't stay away and not see what my fellow BTB diehards are saying... Just an unbelievable win...got to experience it with my family, shed tears...will remember it forever. Build Cig a statue but also...give Haines a billion dollars a year and a promise that the keys are his when Cig retires. Let's win a rose bowl, keep marching and bring a natty back to Bloomington!

I was listing different levels...somewhat in Jest, and somewhat because I know nothing about pro ball in Serbia, the league he is in, etc... Some highlights below from league play.

How does the top Serbian League translate skill wise when comparing to College basketball? MAC team, NAIA, D2?

Well glad that's settled haha. Also..are we still pursuing Brzovic or Lampkin if they get another year? Any further movement/news on Platteeuw?

Was Hawthorne on campus? Have taken several weeks off from the board...trying to get caught up.

I think what I saw is - the argument would be, COVID Year is free + another year that he only played 11 games with very little minutes and had injuries. Would try to get that year back. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

As a fan base we spent years complaining about our offense being driven through the post. I liked Federiko because he seemed to potentially provide a rim presence without needing touches on the offensive end, but also serviceable enough around the basket. Could Alexis not serve that role for us? Admittedly, have not watched much footage of him or know a ton about his game other than he has decent height at 6'8 and a big body at 240-250. What other high defensive impact bigs have been out there, that wouldn't expect a decent usage in the post on offense? I like the idea/strategy of a perimeter oriented roster make-up, with a defensive minded rim protector/rebounder/opportunistic scorer.

Didn't see that either...even with NIL, think that is a good sign regarding CDD and the vision he has for the team and these guys.

Just reading that Sam Alexis committed before even visiting? Slated for his official visit tomorrow and Thursday. Interesting.

Shot 46% from 3 on the road (2.5 makes / 5.4 attempts) 80%+ free throw shooter. Had a couple big number games, with a 32,27,28 three game stretch. I'm sure we could find a spot for him...haha

So at guard we are getting an elite passer (20th best assist rate in the country), a pest on defense (3rd best steal rate) with a strong body who can get to the rim and finish at a high clip (70th percentile finishing at the rim).... Sounds pretty good to me.

Where does he post the gifs now, his discord?
