Commercials are the worst.

Rest well, Coach Knight. I was too young to see your hey day, but I know I grew up a fan of the Hoosiers because of you. You were the reason my father held season tickets and brought me to games from the time I was 6 months old in ‘96. It was because of you we share a love of IU Basketball. A love so deep that from the time I was a little boy, I dreamed of putting on the Candy Stripes and running out the tunnel with that “Indiana” across my chest, which led me to coming to IU for my undergraduate.. There was something magnetic about that floor you stood on because each game my father took me to, I had to go and walk on it on the way to our seats. Any chance I got to walk on that floor you commanded, I took it. You connected the team with the fans, and we all can thank you for that dynamic. You did it your way, and for that, I hope we all can respect. Rest well, Bob Knight. Your legacy is cemented.

Sounds like pre-commitment announcement hype to me.

The annual, dare I say, Sam Story email came out today with an interesting tidbit on Joson. He says HE initiated the contact with IU and is very Pro-IU. He also says he is a 2024 reclass with a late-spring/early summer announcement.

My first thought was it being a little shot at Boogie, a roundabout way of saying, “don’t go back on your word.” If so, yeah buddy!

To get 2/3, with Woody and co.‘s track record in the spring, we still likely get three 5* in the 2024 class. Derik Queen, come on now!

Yes

In an effort to be positive and realistic right now, it’s worth mentioning that IU is still in great shape for spring 2024 and 2025. If this development holds true, getting MM and Ware to the NBA as 1st round picks becomes extremely important. That would be 4 players in 2 years, and spring 2024/2025 would have more evidence that Woodson and staff get their top recruits into the NBA “on schedule.” The culture has a great foundation, and the track record can only improve. Win more, send these two guys to the NBA, develop Malik, Gunn, and Banks to “future NBA players” and more flashy recruits will choose the Hoosiers. It’s a setback but not an insurmountable one in the grand scheme of things.

Well, for what it’s worth, Adam Howard changed his Twitter profile picture from “Mr. October” to an IU x NBA graphic. It’s true the signs really aren’t great. What can ya do? The staff swung for the fences, and that’s what we all have wanted as fans/alum. The direction is still up.

Good catch. It appears he followed him awhile ago and was only noticed yesterday by an IU fan on Twitter. I wonder what went on there.

According to Twitter (again), Meleek Thomas is now being followed on Instagram by Hoosier alum…Mark Cuban. Could Meleek be joining the fun sooner than anticipated? Momentum on the recruiting trails would be at its highest high in over a decade.

And then in March.

It’s a Boogie Wonderland

According to Twitter, the person Boogie Fland most recently followed on Instagram is…Mark freakin Cuban. By golly, it’s true.

I read on X that Cam Camper sprinted into the locker rooms after Michigan’s last TD.

When they ain’t coming to IU, the care drops significantly

Shows how much I know. I genuinely thought that was his name

Is Cooper Fland cancelling his Kansas visit a positive development for Liam’s recruitment to IU?

Liam’s instagram story from an hour ago. Those background pictures look nice (;

Dreaming here, Xavier Johnson and Caleb Love would send shivers down any coach’s spine.

His commitment day 6am workout shows MM already rocking IU gear

There is a certain calmness in Bloomington tonight that feels so right. Maybe it’s summer. Maybe it’s the post Kolby Cooper concert. I don’t know, but it feels so good.

Momentous in so many ways. Let’s have a season!

Last minute discussion topic, if MM commits, he’s the biggest recruit since…? Zeller?
