    $15/day to watch a slew of kids who’ll be playing in the League in a couple of years. Best basketball value there is.

    No idea. I’m a complete technological dumba$$ but my phone and iPad post correctly 99% of the time. Really, no clue..

    2 things: 1) If true, great hire, 2) Jones was the lead on Derik Queen’s recruitment.

    How do you create a poll? I ask because I’m dying to poll the question: “What is the grossest, most soul-sucking thread in BTB history?” The nominees: A) Fire Coach Woodson B) There is no B

    I’ve been trying not to bug the guy because they’ve always just sold them through the Geico site and I just assumed it would pop at some point. But I probably will now because it’s only 5 weeks out and that just seems nuts.

    This is freaking awesome. Teri needs to study how K handled that for the boys when he was doing it. It was basically nothing but a Duke recruiting tool.

    You are correct, my using would instead of could was a poor choice of words.

    This is freaking killing me. I’ve been keeping an eye on this for ticket info for weeks. Still nothing. The old Geico website is rebranded as hsbasketballnationals.com and is currently a dead link. I’m genuinely wondering if it’s not a publicly attended event now, though it always has been in the past. So strange.

    I don’t think pristine was the issue. The thing with Pearl is that either: 1) He’s exceptionally grubby because he’s been busted absolutely everywhere, or 2) He’s exceptionally bad at being grubby because he’s been busted absolutely everywhere. After the Tennessee deal it was 3 years before anyone would touch him.
  11. Oo, that’s not so good.

    (2025)- Trent Sisley

    Dude, those schools are, what, 10 and 15 mins from AH? You need to just put a lid on your unrealistic expectations. Those cigars aren't gonna just smoke themselves.
  13. I’m sure a congratulatory phone call or text from Walsh really moved the needle for him.

    Lloyd always makes me laugh. Can you imagine the reaction around these parts in ‘21 if Dolson had rolled out a 43 yo career Assistant from the WCC whose primary schtick was International talent acquisition?

    So he broke a foot at an inopportune time? He’s an IU lock.

    Probably true, but if something does happen with Woody I would bet on May over the field. If there’s 1 thing ‘21 made clear it was that the decision makers placed massive value on history. You don’t get to Woodson any other way. Now in 2024 you have a young successful college guy with not just IU ties but Knight ties who has a chance to solve your problem for 20 years? Ain’t no way it’s not him unless he flat doesn’t want it. If May was who he is now in ‘21, it would have been him then.

    Great programs never suffer it. This is and always will be a historic program with an elite ceiling. But, personally, I put the expiration date on this being a great program at 1994.

    Correct. The Matt Painter leaving SIU to sit next to Keady for a year just doesn't happen without the weirdest of circumstances.

    The wiring is crazy important here. Every bit as important as X’s and O’s. I didn’t love the Archie hire, but it was certainly defensible on paper. But, man, there was a moment in his introductory presser where he looked up at the banners and dude looked spooked. And he just never looked comfortable in this environment for a single second. Guys think they get it. They don’t. You’ve gotta find a guy who understands that this isn’t a job. IUBB HC is your identity. If they’re not eager to embrace that, they’re not the Guy.

    https://247sports.com/Article/hunter-sallis-wake-forest-duke-basketball-college-basketball-march-madness-steve-forbes-227750771/ This one stings a little. Had an offer under Archie. Didn’t really put it all together at Gonzaga. Entered the portal. No IU contact that I remember hearing about. Goes to Wake Forest is now probably the best guard in the ACC. Sigh
