No depth and we let them push us around. Home cooking doesn’t help either.

We’re improved in almost every category except size but esp at guard play. Experienced and successful players are also on our roster.

We’ve improved in every aspect including hustle, defense and loose balls. I have been pleasantly surprised by Enrights play and overall team chemistry.

Really jazzed about this game and feel as good about our future since Sampson was coaching. And not much in between. Hoping for an active coach.

Everyone appears to be trying to get their own instead of an extra pass. Lots of misses and harder shots. DeVries kills us on D.

Illinois absolutely stacked with size, shooters, and one NBA baller.

Where are the Europeans? One’s 6’10” and we need center help and the other supposed to be a stud guard. I honestly thought Enright would come off the bench and I see his role there down the stretch.

Big increase in guard play and intensity on the court. Ball movement, open looks and threes. We lack size and a dominant player but great to see us playing hard.

It appears we have lots of momentum on the recruiting front and should be expected knowing we hired enough coaches to 1 on 1 with each. The rubber meets the road when we get to see the team that’s constructed play and whether DeVries can coach. I remain cautiously optimistic.

Poor officiating has ruined professional basketball. If you gonna let em play, you have to do it both ways. Too many hacks to mention.

I would say that’s fair but let’s look at the kid from Missouri we’re recruiting as example. Just watched a couple videos and he appears Grayson Mullins 2.0. So if he accepts you have a freshman coming in that can use seasoning and bulk to probably contribute year 2 or you just go recruit the actual Grayson Mullins in year 2 with NIL and a year Hurley paid to develop. Unless they are true difference makers or hometown or legacy kids, I wouldn’t be handing out scholarship offers to < the very top players.

In today’s age of NIL and older players being more developed and dominant; I’m not sure I understand much focus being on high school athletes unless they are game changers or home grown products. Chances are good these younger players still need to develop just in time to leave you for more NIL. Whereas you can cherry pick these developed players from mid majors and sprinkle in pros. I’m of the mindset of Papa Pitino where he’s recruiting few high schoolers and focusing on mature and developed seasoned players.

See if they can give him another year. Everybody else gets one or two.

Should have went to the pros like Woody. Cut your teeth there for a few years like Sampson and go back to a college head job. Woody would give him a reference.

I like Goode and hope he gets another year. Leal…don’t feel the same and don’t want anymore run it back bs. Goode needs to work on his handle and penetration game along with defense and Leal needs to work on selling Btown real estate.

Niko Bundalo 6’10” reopening recruitment. OH native do we have room?

A&M has deep pockets so happy MBako got the bag for both him and Indiana. Unlimited potential we saw flashes early.

Got to have some bangers if he can pass and play hard for CDD; I like this video he appears much more active than Malik.https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/44252400

Big kid from Memphis is in portal; take a look coach. Dain Dainja

Welcome to Indiana University!

Did Kentucky get outcheated? Welcome to Indiana Mr Wilkerson!

Mcdaniel kid from Kansas St and Mich is in the portal with 5 apg. We should take a look.

It sure appears Indiana has many spots still open for big minutes while other programs are just looking for back up players with limited minutes. Combined with our NIL, I would think we should start landing some of these better players unless CDD scares the hell out of them.

Yep, moms and uncles and hangers on, aau coaches get ready we working.

Where was Cryer at the end. Houston was discombobulated I thought Sampson would call a timeout but he was too busy watching.
