This is just my thought on the transfer portal and IU not based on anything else. If we see guys not flooding the portal I think it has zero to do with waiting to see who the coach is. No reason to believe that in this era. The reality is the coaching was bad and no one here increased their earning potential beyond what they currently make. Reneau could probably get similar money for his scoring, but Bako, Rice and Carlysle are almost certainly not going to make more on the open market than they have already contracted at IU. Maybe they can enter the portal and return without impacting previously held agreements, but that seems super unlikely to me given the new coach may not even want the player to return and teams are not obligated to allow a player to come back.

I'd be perfectly fine with DD, I would personally prefer McCollum. That said, if the noise coming out from national rumor mills is that it is done, I think you can tea leaves that to what our people here have said which is essentially that it has been done for weeks. If that is the case, it is someone big. If it just got signed, it's probably Devries.

Scouting for Jay Wright? Or the Maine Red Claws?

Search szn 2k25 will definitely go down as the year of horrifying AI generated photos.

Well having gotten caught up today, I think we can definitively rule Brownell out. No way Tom Allen isn't seeing this and heading straight to Brownell's office to make sure he knows how little we LEO now and how much more LEO he has at Clemson.

Serious question for the brain trust because I ignore DD in all forms. Does he usually have coaches on for chats on whatever that website is? Seems kinda odd all things considered and the IU job being open. Maybe I am reading too much in the tea leaves, but I also do not know if a tournament bound coach talking to DD is normal.

Getting caught up this morning and knowing that Jer seems to always pick his words carefully the most interesting part being about the media. Specifically sending a dog whistle to ignore anything from the regional beat. This is interesting. It tells me if there is a leak it may be from a national pundit-- plenty to be drawn from that if you were prone to speculate on who you should have notifications turned on for/what that might mean for a hire. There's my conspiracy theory for the day.

@LIHoosiermade me a sweet photo for my backdoor prediction league win by virtue of the committee hating our body of work compared to UNC who won exactly 1 Q1 game. I’m no longer a giant green O. Thanks to Ll the woody hat lives on.

It’s now my profile picture since I’ve always been too lazy to pick one. It stays forever due to the miracle that was not missing a prediction. This was fun, thanks for keeping it going.

The positive news here is Mike Woodson: FORMER HC of the Indiana Hoosiers.

Wow committee hates the B1G

If we get in there’s a good chance it’s in the bracket as Clemson lmao

Only adidas would put its schools in prison jumpsuits for watch parties lol

UNC in, that’s bad for us

Dusty wins the BTT in year one. Giving Woody a vanity year has the potential to be the single worst decision made around IUBB ever. Unreal.

It’s a risk sure. But it’s a risk on a guy who has been a head coach since he was 28 and still doesn’t have 100 losses as a HC. He hasn’t lost more than 9 games in 13 years. He hasn’t lost more than 5 in a decade. All the guy does is win. No reason to think that stops because it’s a bigger program. That’s just nonsense. That being said, I’d guess he’s Iowa bound.

I mean some may have different opinions. I personally think McDermott would be a home run, I’m sure there those here who disagree.

Didn’t we have a couple days where there was noise around Drew then he supposedly parlayed it for more NIL? That would certainly be a left field homer.

Well Sunday is off to a hot start

Honestly AI needs to be stopped before it’s too late.

Cross McDermott off the list. There is no list now. Cripes.

Tone Loc got everyone playing national treasure anytime someone posts a gif now.

Ya know, you chide us for not debating potential coaches in the general coaching candidate thread, then we start to, and you come in here throwing your wet stublanket all over our debate with your silly facts and figures. It’s like you want the thread derailed! Jokes aside, guess that kills the Tommy Lloyd conversation. What’s Pitino the elders buyout lol he’s about to win another championship

Yea I’m not sure I’ve seen anything to back up that their NIL is bad. If anything I’d guess the big draw would be getting away from the Big12 and into one of the two conferences dictating everything.

I’m not a geography major but I think Bloomington might be more than 500 miles from Tucson haha
