Nope around 2 million. Indiana was offering 1.5. Indiana didn’t want to go to 2. If we lose enough recruitments we might decide to pay for the guys we want. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

Not too many proven guys out there with his size, athleticism, and shooting acumen. This one stings. Goes to Louisville for split minutes. Tough loss. And not good recruiting JuJu going forward. Mikel Brown is probably the one that loses minutes more, but still competition for minutes. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

A lot better than ours is going to be. Thanks Woody. I’m living in a parallel universe where we hired Dusty May a year ago and are winning portal battles. I’ve got an imaginary team in my brain that’s Michigan-like that I root for. Hoping DeVries can regain my full fandom. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

I saw it from a bunch of schools this year. Including Iowa. It’s everywhere. Not the reason. Kelsey has a swagger and he won this year. DeVries doesn’t have that kind of swagger and doesn’t have assistants with vivacious personalities to help. My guess, he liked Kelsey more than DeVries and believed in him more.

Rodney Rice isn’t as good as Conwell. Maybe we go there. Maybe we get the Enright money back and try to get Braden Smith over Kentucky tomorrow. The winning teams make winning moves. Being an Indiana fan feels like a Cubs fan. Seriously hope the Preston Murphy pipedream is alive because he’d help us get the kind of talent we need. I think. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners -

Jealous. Duke has had such a phenomenal year. Heard Duke paid Flagg 4.5M this season? You believe that? Probably solid ROI. Lol I hate it’s 4 1’s left but these matchups are insane. Should be good theatre. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

I wish. I honestly believe I’d be an asset. I’ve played my entire life and watched the rest of my life. Coached k-12. My instincts on talent are generally good. Full time dentist and the coaching game is tough politics. If Jordy Hulls can’t keep his gig I’ve got no shot. Lol. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

Appreciated. And that’s my hope. I hope he has an ace up his sleeve. DeVries isn’t a plus defender. Goode if he returns is a negative defender. People think Enright is a good defender, I disagree at the level of the B1G. He hustles. He flops. He gives energy but idk. Just not the lock down guy you want at point. Hoping he’s a bench guy we get a dawg to play point somewhere, somehow. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

I’m giving very specific reasons why I don’t think it’s a good addition. I’ve listed 5 or 6 game scouted reasons I don’t like it. I don’t like to *****. I want to feel like the program I love just made a strong move and celebrate the hell out of it. Our program has given us ample reasons to complain over the years. And I’ve complained about a lot of it, for years. I’ve wanted a great guard for 20 years. Doesn’t need to be a 20 point per game guy. I look at both sides of the ball. In a point guard it’s Defense, Ball handling, Free Throws. Those are the 3 keys. People have talked about his defense but I don’t think those people have watched his games.

Yep. Lots of coaches make comfort moves. Blinded by connections and previous relationships. Archie and Woodson made bad moves constantly and I’ve called out many of them before the coach realized it was a problem. I’m confident in my analysis of talent. A scrawny 6’0” guard that can’t hit free threes, therefore his three point shooting will ALWAYS be streaky. He can’t drive in the B1G. He’ll struggle to defend. He’ll struggle to create offensive advantages without an explosive first step. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

Lol. You aren’t the emotion police. Enright is a hard working kid that will be outclassed in size and skill in about every single P5 matchup and some other matchups too. I call a spade a spade. Watched lots of video. Games. Looked at stats. I hope we didn’t break the bank on this one. My opinion doesn’t need to be to board’s opinion and this is as underwhelming of an addition as I can imagine, starter or not. I’ll root like hell for the kid once he dons the candy stripes. But when he’s clanking needed free throws or getting bullied all over the court next year I’ll be extra saucy because I saw it coming. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

Coaching carousel thread
WayneFleekHoosier replied to Magnanimous's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
It’s been a pretty good carousel this year. Living up to the hype. When we hired Archie 2017. OSU takes Holtman. Illinois takes Underwood. I’ll grade Archie at a D to D- Holtman gets a B- to C+ Underwood gets an A-. This cycle : DeVries Medved Buzz McCollum Let’s hope we figured something out. I’m a bit worried though. I’ve still got some Archie vibes going on. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners -

It was the rumored move I heard as soon as the Willard might leave news came out. Definitely a strong move all things considered. -

I will say, it doesn't seem to fit the DeVries agenda unless Booker can convince people the narrative about him is false. -

Man, idk. Definitely don't want to go into this as your projected starter but if he's the backup guy then it's probably worth a shot. -
Money must be too tantalizing. I get it but dang. Donaldson had a great team season and a pretty strong individual season and started everygame. Holloman had a great season, solid individual season and was set up for more PT. Neither of these make sense in the traditional sense.

Indiana has reached out to Rodney Rice from Maryland. -
Sounds like Miami and maybe already a done deal.
