    So apparently Tony Perkins is our new Bruce Thornton. Lol. I don’t love it, but I’m sure others will. The only Iowa player I want is Peyton Sandfort. Iowa will just play Dix and not skip a beat, and we will do whatever it is that Perkins does. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

    Exactly. Here’s my thing. You are what your top 8 are. Get 8 guys that fit and the best 8 you can get. Building blocks 9-13 or whatever your end of bench strategy is. I really think having 10 what needs aimed for but play 8. Then if injuries, you don’t have as much excuse

    Not WayneFleek. Besides I like Blackmon. lol. Give me the most tenacious, tough, talented kid, birthplace be damned.

    Count Hickman as another one that doesn’t resonate with me. We have 4 guards on the roster now. 1 can and probably will start. We have 3 likely backups. We need 2 starter types in my opinion. I don’t see Hickman or Walker as that to me. maybe since we had no guards last year Woody wants 8 of them. Confusing times.

    Glad they have Willard but that Roster might look really good by the end.

    Yeah, I'm convinced the staff thinks they are getting Bruce Thornton. I've picked up on that from the burners. Curious to see if that holds up. The more Ohio State keeps winning, though, isn't helping matters. lol

    Yeah the local media and Woody have an unsalvageable relationship it appears. It's really a shame to see it. Woody certainly hasn't helped himself with the media. Either local or national.

    SOOoooooooooooooo many good players in the portal this year already. We need 3 A's and 3 B's. Shouldn't be that hard but you have to identify the right ones and have your plan in place.

    NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

    hmm... This is where the rubber will hit the road. All these other teams out there with the same agenda to build a top 25 team. The media will give benefit of doubt to coaches who do it consistently. Can't blame them, anyone would. Can Woody do anything in the portal to build a top 25 team? That's my question. What kind of roster does he have to build to get that type of attention and make winning easier on him?

    Alright, well my BIG ten rivaled father steered me wrong and thus you guys to a degree. Apologies. sidenote- I personally don't know where Leal and Cupps fit in the rotation if we are looking to win big. We need Woody to get 2 starter quality guards imo then you have our returning 4 guards. Interesting....

    (2024) - SF Bryson Tucker to INDIANA

    It's funny, Woody created his own media team via twitter. His burner accounts actually got the juice lately, but I don't find it a great long term solution to be at odds and circumvent it's normal media teams.

    He must see the writing on the wall if so. I mean, It had to be internally/externally toxic over there with the season they had plus Bronny and the #1 recruit of the class. Terrible season. If this happens, USC will probably try to go big. The 4 Pac12 teams are definitely gonna add an extra element to the B1G. Everyone is swinging big.

    (C) Kel 'el Ware - COMMITTED TO INDIANA

    Season underwhelmed. Ware didn't. He was pretty special, really. Another good kid imo, that gave it his best. I personally think 1 more year of getting ready is necessary but he can do that in the NBA or GLeague I suppose also. Just so long as he isn't given up on, by whatever NBA team takes him. He was our highlight reel guy this season.

    Yeah, it's an easy to understand scenario. Sparks is a great kid. He was trying to live out his dreams.

    I think the staff is going for Thornton. Wonder if he'll leave now that they've turned the corner.

    The Case for TBD

    I don’t think he’d have the energy and work ethic to do all the job requires. But who knows.

    I wouldn't be mad about that. Seems like a talented coach.

    Fire Coach Woodson

    I'd love to have a Oats/Pearl/Hurley type of a coach as regarding coaching energy. I don't know who fits that billing out there but I enjoy that type of competitiveness. You would think that energy would make it hard to recruit but that doesn't seem to be problem for those guys. Anyway, Monday thoughts.

    NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

    Yeah, could be a decent option I think. But he'd be a bench piece and I'm not convinced that is what he is looking for. I think our staff thinks it will get Thornton once they are out of the NIT as our preferred starting PG. I feel like it might be another week before we really know where we are targeting.

    I dislike Gard as much as anyone but Essegian is a defensive liability. Look at the guards on these teams tonight. We need more of that. We can/should set our sights higher than Essegian for our needs. If Gard knew he needed better and I think he was right, we need better too. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    Seeing guys attack the glass rebounding and not conceding the ball is what I’ve been begging for, for 3 years. Gosh, I wish we had Oats or someone like him as our coach. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    If our guys played half this hard, That would be a start. How does our guys, players and staff watch this kind of effort and think they are doing enough? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app
