Been saying this. Much more dynamic. Little less trustworthy. I bet we see him in games where Rourke can’t get any offense going in B1G. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Just amazing content. lol. Job well done.

I mean I want Haralson and Mullins as bad as anyone, but in today’s game starting multiple freshman even if very good is just not a winning strategy. I’m concerned the staff is trying to save some NIL cash and put it towards freshman over transfers and in the long run I just don’t think that’s a winning strategy. Kentucky and Duke have proven recently stacking tons of great freshman without great coaching and enough veteran skill just isn’t it. I’m mixed on what I want because I do really want these guys, but……. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

yeah, I agree. I think Parrish has an axe to grind to Indiana fans because we are loyal and defend our teams until we want change. I think our social media presence annoys people like him. Anyway, All are valid concerns but the tone felt different. Worth a listen as an IUBB fan for sure.

Heads up. Eye on College basketball did a podcast on Indiana today. Needless to say Parrish and Norlander aren’t big Woodson believers. I’ve listened to the entire series. 14 or so teams featured. This one was by far the most negative toned episode of the group. scheduling is mocked. Shooting is mocked. Roster fit is mocked. Previous seasons lack of success mocked. Let’s hope to prove college basketball incorrect about Mike Woodson.

Couple early commitments. Purdue got a 2026 recently too. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Career suicide these days. Clemson has good money but not too dog money. Paying under the table for freshman was much more budget friendly.

Pulling out all the stops. Another one of those, “if we don’t land him, we did all we could”. I think we will want/need a 3/4 player sized freshman class and 3 or so transfers. We miss our primary targets that money gets earmarked to the portal and so long as we have a a solid season, there isn’t too much too worry about in recruiting until the NIL dries up. Haralson, Mullins, Reibe sounds great. And Sisley if he wants in.

RBs might be a strength. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Not the kind of game Cig would have liked to start with. Just completely unimpressive. And again, Rourke is mid. Give me Tayven’s arm strength and athleticism all day. Running Backs look solid enough. McCulley not being featured is disappointing. Just a Ho Hum game by the Hoosiers from a NIL bolstered roster. Tom Allen would have beat this FIU team as well. Hoping to see more as the weeks progress. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Rourke is Mid. Don’t @ me. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Agree, although I’d argue McKneeley’s athleticism is undervalued. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I understand the thought but if he hits open shots and his athleticism holds up to be a solid defender he’ll excel anywhere. For as much as I doubt Woody, as this is part of the reason, he runs NBA actions. That’s part of why the NBA is drafting Woody guys. I prefer faster/more ball movement. More off ball actions. More cutting. Etc. That’s a big reason I like college basketball but much of that isn’t emphasized in the NBA. Shooting/defending/ shot-making creativity has been emphasized. Liam McNeeley is an NBA dude. Without question. I think Mullins could be, but he isn’t a McNeeley level player. And none of this matters if he hits 40+% of his threes.
