Seems like the consensus. I don’t see the vision for basketball as it’s on the back burner financially. The Dusty May miss plus the roster DDV put together for this season in a critical year just worries me. Saying, oh well, he can do better next year? But if the results aren’t there, who are we getting? Just needed one or 2 different pieces and this season could have been great. But now, we’ve got an uphill battle on our hands. The crazy thing, I’ve mentally already written off this year and B1G play hasn’t even started. Maybe we surprise but the eye test says no.

Feels good to have a desirable program in the portal era, particularly with a staff that can REALLY ID what they want and talent. Fun times. The turnaround to ‘emerging superpower’ is already here.

Wish we had a Somto Cyril. Wilkinson has been dynamic in this one.

Was just about to post about Georgia hanging on to win and had to delete my prompt.

This Auburn Georgia ending is wild.

Sidenote, I personally know the Brock Schott family and he’ll be a Hoosier very soon. Leo HS TE. Highly rated. I don’t think he’ll be our penciled in starter but he’s a big athletic kid that’s focused on be great. Will be cool having him on the team.

Ohio State thinks it’s done. Oregon thinks they’ve got him. You’re right this would be a statement maker on the defensive end. From an excitement level so far, it’s QB1 (Hoover) Marsh and Koi for me at the top.

From a fans perspective maybe, but as a coach and leader you can’t behave like that. Bad look for him even though he was completely jobbed.

Fully disagree. It’s a game by game judgement. Gotta build momentum. Gotta win recruiting battles. But most importantly you got to win games. If we have an underwhelming season this year and miss the tournament, which to me seems likely, what do we have to sell for impact players. Our NIL isn’t top 10. Our results aren’t top 25. You’ve got to sell hope then. But the negative recruiting is so easy. Year 1 proof is being built game by game. Critical next 2 months for our future.

Ohio State comes back to get road W at Rutgers. They needed that one.

Dusty May and this Michigan team, man. I’m glad IUFB is rolling and I’m having a blast, because I’m about to put IUBB on the back burner until next season and see what we do in the portal. I fear the IUWBB type slide is approaching soon for the men.

K Martin and Charlie B poised to be stars soon!

It did. And supposedly a downed receiver doesn’t run the clock. Still SUS with the other calls/non calls

These refs. Investigate this crap.

Agreed. He’s slime. They’ve got some tough players. Enjoyed watching them compete and not fold tonight. Chambliss is good.

Just gotta go 1-0. In consecutive weeks. Attainable.

Hard to watch the bias. But this game has been excellent otherwise.

Amazing how these things tend to happen.

Wow.

Egregious miss. Surprised they called this blatant hold.

Guess we’ll see what’s important to him.

Britt was a big miss for sure but that can be said for other schools too. Spreen, Mak, Wiseman. Staff is with them all the time. They scrimmage each other. I generally think they find who they think gives them the best chance. We don’t have athletes (Z), Size, or Consistent shooting (Shay) anywhere on this roster and especially not on the bench. I, however think the sum of our parts should still be better than we are. Missing a consistent inside scorer and defender just fully magnifies all of our problems. I imagine as our season goes along, others will get chances. Stotjin has played and time is declining. She’s been bad. Jerni is playing now. She hustles, but can’t make shots. If it’s about playing time, then whatever but this isn’t rec league. We aren’t winning with this roster no matter who is getting on the court. unless Shay gets unconscious with her shooting.

WOW

Are you family of a bench player? my guess is, practice scrimmages and otherwise indicate she’s the best option. (Ability to occasionally hit the shot, good length, future contributor, and previous successes) The other guard (idk her name) is getting more looks and time. This year, it just seems like we will lose with whoever is on the court. Maybe a few others will get cycled in.
