Hovadipo

I made my Buddy Hield-lite claim during the game the other night. Hield is a generational shooter at his best and I'm not sure why, stylistically, Lamar can't be that type of player.

This may not be popular - like, at all - but I gotta wholeheartedly disagree with this one. Between traveling and home games, our fans are some of the worst I've ever encountered. Students at home more than anything (which I suppose comes with the territory to an extent) and on the road...pretty much anyone is a candidate to do or say something stupid.

Black was our best back down the stretch by far, imo. Rock solid in pass pro, reliably found creases, brought a different punch to the offense. He killed that Miami safety early in the game and set a tone. He's going to test something fierce on April 1st and make a GM look extremely smart. Related: No. 58 Kaelon Black, Indiana, running back One of the former James Madison players who followed Curt Cignetti to Bloomington, the 5-10, 210-pounder rushed for 251 yards and two TDs in limited action. Black vertical jumped 40 inches, bench pressed 415 pounds and squatted over 500 this summer. “He’s our biggest Freak for sure,” said DL Mikail Kamara. “When he lifts, everything moves so fast. He’s ridiculous. I’ve never seen him struggle (in the weight room). I saw him bench press 415 the other day, and it was butter. It touched his chest and went right back up. It looked like a warmup set. And he’s hella fast.”

Spero Dedes just referred to Braylon Mullins as “Indy’s Favorite Son”. Pushing it juuuuust a bit, I’d say.

Black is going to be an absolute gem on Day 3. I'm pumped to see his numbers from Pro Day. He already got himself paid at the Senior Bowl and Pro Day will get him another bag.

I don't think I totally understand the point being made, but if it's anything other than "Kamara is the best player of any names mentioned" I disagree wholeheartedly. He will be a load and a half to replace. And that's being said with me loving the rotation for next year.

9 Indianimals invited to the combine. Really curious to see Cooper and Fisher run. I think Hemby is going to turn some heads with his testing.

The most unnecessary diving save ever. Lol yikes.

Begging someone to just set a ball screen in a tie game, last-shot situation. A wild idea, I know.

Nebrasketball is inevitable.

It happened pretty fast. I want to say he was diagnosed last spring, less than a year ago. I had seen they had to cancel supporting on one of those rock cruises last summer and now here we are. Just awful. I wouldn’t call myself a 3DD fan, but they had some good tunes over the years and Brad always kind of popped up around the sports scene at different events and seemed like a good dude.

That was “Oladipo missed dunk” levels of “what did we just about witness?”

I’ve been kicking around a “why can’t Lamar be Buddy Hield-lite?” take for a few weeks now.

We should’ve hung a banner for Clifton showing up in an honest to God mock draft the summer before his freshman year.

Is anyone within a million miles of Lamar and TJD? Juwan Morgan maybe, but I’m not sure he’s within a half million miles.

Those Bailey minutes just Hoover’d every ounce of air out of that building.

This is an elite color combo game. Except for those with color blindness maybe, if I understand that right.

You broke boyz can use the app, I’ll be watching live on FS2.

Playing Bellarmine November 5th, per Rothstein. I imagine that’ll be the regular season opener.

I thought the CFP played by a different set of rules than the bowl system, but you may be right. It’ll be mighty awkward if we hit November and they haven’t lost yet. And if true, they won’t be eligible until their 3rd year in FBS which is a joke.

NDSU to the Mountain West is awesome. Not sure if they’ll make it year one, but I’d put the farm on them competing for a CFP spot this season. Will be fascinating to watch.
