    On paper, this looks like a legitimate top 6 in the Big 10 type roster. I didn't think IU had it in them to get this talent in the door. Props to Dolson, Devries, and Carr. Also much gratitude to the NIL donors. After years (decades?) of mediocrity, its impressive to still have this much support. The big task now is making all the peices fit. Cautiously optimistic, but IU basketball is still in the "show me first" category.

    We may very well end up with 2 or 3 off the top of our board, but we also have to understand how these transfers leverage school interest. Everyone knows we are desperate and will pay reasonably well, so agents garner IU interest and drive up the asking price.

    In an alternate timeline Woodson is fired a year earlier, IU hires Dusty May, IU proceeds to miss the tournament in his first 2 years, and the "fire Dusty May" thread is popping.

    "________, ________ Carr. ________, ______ high upside. Devries ______, ______ potential. ______ tournament expectations." You fill in the rest.

    I'm looking forward to hearing the spin after IU inevitably signs a 20-something ranked transfer class.

    I don't live in Indiana anymore. Do people even talk about IU bball now or is it an afterthought?
  20. Five Prime
    IU could hire any coach they want, and at this point, I wouldn't expect much different results.

    It doesnt change the fact that most of the fan base lives in la-la land.
  22. Five Prime
    Where in the world are the top coaches then?
  23. Five Prime
    So is that because Devries isnt a good coach but all those other guys are?
  24. Five Prime
    My argument is a simple one: Poor decision making by IU leadership + unrealistic fan expectations = toxic culture to coach Fan expectations for Creans first few years were tempered by extraneous circumstances. The poor leadership was the same.

    We are lost in the desert wilderness for nearly 40 years being supported by mana from Bob Knight heaven.

    Different era, different circumstances. Fan base has already shown cracks with Devries support.

    And yet, after an 18-14 first season (literally IUs average season over the last 2 decades), some fans are ready to move on...I'm not disagreeing with anything you've said, but the fan base will not be patient. AND... how can we trust IUs leadership to get the next hire right?
