Not suggesting it’s indicative of anything, but whenever you see pictures of DDV at these events he’s always sitting up straight. Woody, like most HC’s, was always as reclined as he could get with the legs crossed. Curious if DDV’s Dad was military?

Maybe. The sell here for a ‘26 PG is so strong. IU exposure/NIL. No returning PG. DDV taking Javon Small from a nice portal get to all-Big 12 and getting him drafted in 1 year. The system puts so much on the PG’s plate. They can basically promise a kid the keys without actually having to promise him. This is 1case where I would be pretty shocked if they don’t lock down a top kid at the position.

Usually put zero stock in pre-season stuff. Couldn’t care less. But Phil Steele is The Man and if he has IU 16 that is encouraging.

That sucks so bad. Pickleball courts? Jesus

There it is!

https://x.com/TMarkwith14/status/1934281014995476485 IU offers 247 top 50 PG Nasir Anderson. Plays at Georgia powerhouse Norcross HS and in the 3SSSB circuit for Game Elite. Has had a huge spring. MVP of the FIBA U16 Americup event and was apparently 1 of the hottest ‘27’s at the NBPA Camp. https://247sports.com/player/nasir-anderson-46148955/ https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/nasir-anderson-323443?view=pv https://www.hudl.com/profile/18960336/Nasir-Anderson

Seem to recall that as well. How nuts is this? College sports is this insane money-making machine but streaming off season games that people can’t get to is somehow beyond the pale?

Has anything come out about streaming? I’ve not seen anything but surely someone’s doing it. It’d be straight stealing money. Hit me for $20 a game and I’m gonna give’em $60.

1st game is 8/6 and then I think they play the 10th and 12th, though I might be off on that part.

Yup, until teams start getting bonus points or some such for being higher ranked I could not care less.

Unless there’s some personal connection here this one feels like exercise.

That’s a pretty nice lineup of contributors. Always makes me laugh the way Trilly started out as an obvious lark and just continues to evolve.

And when was the last time, or has there ever been a time, when they had a choice of probably 4 different players they could have put on the cover? Love it.

And gone are the days when you didn’t want a kid coming in on a IUFB weekend because it would just be sad and depressing. Come on down, Tay, and watch us boat race ODU in front of a sold out stadium.

Yeah, literally the 1st article I opened about him was the UNC/dream school article. But that’s a pretty recent offer and DDV appears to have been in pretty early. S’pose we’ll see.

Agree with that assessment 100%. As a pro prospect he’s kind of funky. A 6’1”-6’2” scoring guard without a great handle is not exactly a prototype, even with his length and explosiveness. But, man, he’s plays so hard and he’s so efficient and he’s a grown-a$$ man physically that I think he’ll be a monster in college and despite his class rating I don’t think it would be completely shocking if he played more than 1 year.

Every single word there could be true and it doesn’t change the fact that they lost a guy they’d put 2 years into. I imagine if he wanted to reclass the amount they probably invested in their backcourt probably made that one prohibitive.

Pacers give up a 2nd and a 2nd round swap to Memphis for Jay Huff. Helps patch their center hole while they have 15 months or so to determine a long term plan. Strictly a rotation guy.

And the 1st of what I’m sure will be multiple teams give up on the Cam Whitmore experience as Houston deals him to Washington for a couple of 2nds.

For anyone looking to watch Smith the US plays New Zealand at 2pm EDT today.

Starts next Thursday. I assume Kam Jones will hit the roster once the trade is announced. What a ridiculous rule that is.

Yup, and a staff that’s not just ok with them taking those looks but demanding them. That moment in the training video when Kenny busted somebody for passing up a look did this old heart good.

A few years ago this would have most likely been UNC against the field, and while I don’t see IU here at all, it really says something about where Hubert is right now that this legitimately feels like an open recruitment.
