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.

Yeah, I could’ve read that closer.

Prince’s prediction for IUFB’s record. Figured he should be included here since he’s, ya know, everywhere now. That kid is killing me.

I’m fine with due diligence on pretty much any player and the kid is such a freak show physically that I imagine when DDV saw him up close he decided you just have to dig in a little bit. Or maybe Kenny has some backstory and thinks he’s a decent kid who’s been handled poorly. Either way, given that they’ve offered basically every top 30 big in the class I doubt this becomes a thing.

Who was the last kid who got into being a Hoosier as fast and as hard as Moody has? I’m not even sure Cupps did. That kid is liking or re-tweeting or responding to or pushing absolutely any IU thing he can find. Love it.

Finally got around to looking at his DMV Live stats. The young man shot 60/76 from the floor and 19/56 from the line that included a 4/17 game and a 1/10 game. So if he ain’t dunkin’ it, he ain’t makin’ it.

Surely to God they don’t get in on Ayton, right?

Myles to the Bucks for 4/107 with a year 4 player option and a full trade kicker. Congrats to Myles on cashing in, but in no universe should the Pacers have done that. Daniel Gafford, who’s not as good as Turner but a legit dude who’s younger signed for 3/54. Nic Claxton, baby. Make it happen, Pritch.

Jesus, why would they drop that poor kid in a highlight video? They couldn't just show a dunk from the layup line?

Never could figure out what a winning argument for him was supposed to be.

That’s a nice group. They don’t have nearly the depth of talent of EYBL, but Adidas’ high end talent is really, really good.

Is there a button to shoot them into the sun?

https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/45585366/2026-nfl-mock-draft-miller-early-first-round-predictions-quarterbacks-32-picks Ponds in the 1st round of ESPN’s latest mock. Man, it will be so cool when an IU kid is walking on stage at the draft and I want it to be Ponds. Love that kid.

Can’t lie, took me a minute to remember Luke.

The WVU AD has been nothing but a good dude throughout.

And doing it as the youngest player on the team.

I’m not getting the Hatton talk. How he can he possibly be eligible for a waiver? He played 4 years post-Covid. No injury history. He played in, what, maybe 20 games last year? Was William & Mary not D1 his freshman year?

Local H is plain cool. Scott Lucas is great. They also did a great version of Wolf Like Me and a lot of their catalog is just fun.

Surprised it took that long, though it looks like DDV isn’t Creanish and busting out offers after 1 good viewing.

Unrelated to Lyons, but fwiw should the staff get really involved with them: saw the Placide twins play a couple of games for Sunrise Christian last year and, while they’re not Cooper and Ace Flagg, 1 of them, I believe it was Gavin, was a lot better than the other. They’re not comparable prospects.

And 5/0 ast/to. And I’m confident he defended. Nice, indeed.

13 pts on 8 shot attempts with 5 rebounds and committing 4 fouls all in NINE minutes of game time is a pretty stunning stat line.

Yup, been a minute since a kid has seemed as genuinely excited about committing to IU, and, yes, he seems to be graciously acknowledging all of the good will. Sign of good parenting. 1 side note: I may simply be too old at this point to ever get my mind around a 17 yo referring to a college HC as DRock, which Moody’s done a bunch, but clearly it’s affectionate and respectful so I just need to get over it.

Currently watching season 4 of The Bear. Feels like they’re still struggling to thread some stuff together but, man, whomever picks their music never, ever, misses.This is from a Dion 1975 solo album called Born to Be with You and it’s freaking awesome. Just a perfect song. Wow, love it. Didn’t know that guy was even recording at that point. Now I gotta break out the full album.

There it is!
