Darian and the staff appear to be getting some players!

Part 2! I'll be in Bloomington soon.. perhaps I should pick up some items?

Good job to CDD and the rest of the unnamed staff!

I think with Kory departing to Oral Roberts, that eliminated the possibility. It's been expressed that Dolson wants a clean slate too from the old staff.

Exactly, back me up @Chris007

Have you been on campus between May 9th - August 9th? No better place in the world.

He's had an interesting career. Investigated by the FBI, went to the mid-majors for a few years, including a stop at Rhode Island with Archie Miller. Now he's back at Indiana with CDD.

Isn't he the fella that got the big time recruits and eventually got in trouble?

Something pretty interesting about their transfer portal targets, they didn’t look for sexy stats such as 18 PPG. They looked at defensive rebound %, steal percentage. The rest is pure coaching. I hope CDD can coach at this level.

It’s crazy out here in the portal y’all.

Interesting analytics for Reed. Didn’t shoot many 3’s, but knocked them down when he did. Curious to see how the rest of the roster fills out.

Florida with another national championship appearance. Meanwhile, Indiana has wasted the last 8 years on Miller and Woodson.

Be patient folks. The staff is dealing with agents, kids asking for 900-2 million while averaging less than 10PPG, moving to a new state, etc. It’s different times in college basketball, this period is weirder as it’s CDD’s first off-season at Indiana. Not trying to make excuses for him, he still needs to make the dance his first year, but let’s all give the staff some time.

I'm sure he has his new staff working the phones currently. New staff members being announced comes down to quotes, backgrounds being written by the SID, etc., I'd hope they are a bit too busy to gather a quote for a press release.

Most assistant coaches don't have buy-outs. CDD is still finding people or he has his staff and it just hasn't been announced. I don't think anything too abnormal is occuring.

I don't think a GM is life or death of a program. It's another person to manage from Darian's eyes as the CEO. Frankly, Darian and whoever is on the staff currently can hold down the fort in the meantime.

June 30th is the last day teams can pay out player using money from collectives. So the money will be frontloaded likely before the new "rules" kick in. In terms of the April 7th date, that is when the settlement could be finalized from the courts. Nothing should change though.

As I reported two weeks ago, Newton is officially off to Georgia State.

Big East money is talking, some programs have more money than P4 programs due to no football as well.

No visits allowed until next Thursday.

Dead period for the NCAA championship, it's the right thing to do as coaches migrate to the final four / enjoy a weekend off from visits.

What's the amount Indiana Basketball receive in revenue sharing? $16 million - Indiana Football $ 6 million - Indiana Basketball $1 million < remaining amount - Indiana Women's Basketball? Starting July 1st, collectives can't be used to pay players going forward. However, they can have private NIL to athletes.

Does that put more pressure on Darian to make the dance this year then?

Slightly better, much better shooting.

Indeed. I’m going to trust Darian on his moves this off-season. I’m holding him to a high standard of making the dance next year, it doesn’t take five stars to make the dance, that’s for sure in today’s age.
