One thing that I’ve noticed and that has me kind of excited is that it seems like almost everyone we’ve brought in is a good to very good passer. It will be fun to see how our offense flows next season if Devries can bring it all together.

To be fair, Rice did that all the time too and it’s something Woodson should have nipped early in the season. IMO a better coach (hopefully Devries if he returns) wouldn’t let him take that shot. -

Also how much more playing time do we have to offer? I could be wrong but I would expect a guy like Freeman is aiming to be a featured starter somewhere. -

A recruiting victory over Kentucky in the first month of the job is a HUGE win for Devries! LETS GOOOOO things are looking up now -

Man I don’t get all the hate for this guy wanting to get paid. He pretty much has one year to lock in some serious earnings in his life so you have to take advantage. Besides, there is no reason a guy who wants to maximize his earnings can’t also work his a$$ off. Last year we had a bad culture that led to sub par attitudes and underperformance and that was on Woodson. This year it’s on Devries to make sure we’re getting guys who actually play hard all season. -

We hearing this anywhere else yet? -
Touched on this a bit in the other thread but where do we slot this guy? Doesn’t seem like he is a perfect fit as a 5 defensively though I love what his offense brings to the table.

So…. Does anyone have an idea on who we’re actually pursuing at this point? Seems that Flory is still on the board but likely leaning to Auburn? -

Too early to fire our coach? jk im going to wait until we see the product on the floor before getting worked up. -
Darian DeVries - New IUBB Head Coach
Hoosier Roots replied to iubb's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I’m all for IUBB becoming a force in regional HS ball again and I hope in coming years we will be a presence at these events. Right now the focus has to be on building the program and putting a roster and coaching staff together. Going to the state game would just be showing face when we have nothing else in order. -

Unless we think there is a significant contributor for next year’s roster in one of those games, that’s not a good use of his time now imo. He isn’t a politician. Let’s not demand public appearances from the guy when we don’t even have a team yet for next year. -
Think we see a program that doesn’t try to compete on talent but instead goes for something similar to the Bo Ryan model where you have very disciplined players that know their defined role in a broader system, maybe with a few special talents sprinkled in depending on the year. Just like Drake, i believe it will be more teams that are greater than just the sum if their parts. I dont know if it would work at IU but I think it will at Iowa.

Wade to NC State. Would be surprised if he doesn’t have that program at a consistent level of success.
