Never heard of Steven, very odd as he's been with the program the past six years. Congrats to Jordan on the retirement and new job. He'll be great. Good to see Indiana guys back at Indiana.

If TJD returns, we're top 20 100%. Us fans at that point will probably demand a top 3 finish in the conference. My biggest concern is shooting still.

https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/archie-miller-on-what-went-wrong-at-iu-identifying-shooting-would-have-helped-our-cause/ Sorry for the bump, but good article came out today with Archie and his time at Indiana. He mentions his recruiting at Indiana.

Kids want all the attention for as long as possible, can't blame them. Plus looking for best NIL deal, that has a factor. NBA Draft is a factor too for those oversigned.

I didn't get that memo, but good to hear then.

NCAA is sort of clear with making sure it's the three assistant coaches that can be on the road recruiting and giving on the court instruction. Last summer the NCAA passed law that allowed two non-coaching staff members to give on the court instruction for the summer periods. I imagine the same will happen this year. Every program is different, but I imagine Brian was basically doing all the leg work, setting up the Hotels, rental cars, hosting the recruits on the campus tours, etc. He's doing some "recruiting" when the kids are on campus, he can't go off campus recruiting unless a coach is sick or is doing something non-basketball.

Men's basketball continues to get harder.

Elston if he's interested in being in the non business world and taking a somewhat significant pay-cut?

He's displayed his personality 100x more after his dismissal from Indiana, which is interesting to say the least. I never saw him out and about like I did with Crean or even with Woodson.

In a simpler world, the ability to trade scholarship players would be pretty fun. Headache for academic advisors and departments, but fun for fans and social media.

Wait until I tell you about the money players can get now.

Every program "Creans" players. Which is why you see 1,000+ kids in the portal. It's not always their choice to go into the portal.

After the combine / before the date to withdraw from NBA draft

If he can develop a game off the bounce, increase his shooting percentages, and prove he can handle the ball on the perimeter then I'm all for it. I like him at the "4" for the time being. That being said, he has all off-season to develop. It's not impossible to see him develop some wing abilities.
