After watching the first 5 minutes of this, I think the positive impact of having Dad on the visit to IU can't be overstated

I've liked this kid for a while now and I believe is going to be a fan favorite from the time he sets foot on campus. We get hung up on ratings and then dismiss kids like Cupps because they are not 5*. But he knows how to run a team and he will be willing to do whatever is asked of him. All he has ever done is win.

Former walk-on Nathan Childress will transfer to perennial NAIA power Indiana Wesleyan.

I agree!!!! I just wasn’t sure why we spent so much time recruiting him and making him a priority and he goes somewhere else. I am happy with the Ware commitment but we need at least 1 good wing but for some reason we keep striking out

Matthew Cleveland from FSU could be a wing option. More of a slasher than shooter but looks more athletic than Ledlum.

Not a transfer, but Papa Kante (6'10" center, 90th rated incoming 2023 recruit) has asked for a release for his letter of intent from Michigan.

It definitely seems to be headed that general direction. As I have stated previously in other similar conversations, I am 100% for free market capitalism, so anyone earning an honest buck is terrific by me. That doesn't mean that EVERYTHING has to be for-profit, however. Do the High school players deserve a cut of the concession sales at their games? What about the 4th grade getting a portion of the gate when GrandPa comes to watch the Christmas play? Make no mistake, it IS the same thing, just a matter of degrees.
I don't want to derail this thread anymore than it already is, but amatuer athletics doesn't have to be an oxy-moron. I will also say that Indiana University fielding pro teams isn't gonna interest me that much. Let anyone and everyone make all they want in pro sports, but how does sponsoring pro sports further the mission of a university?
Glad Ware is coming to IU and I want IUBB to win....but at some point it doesn't make sense anymore.

BottomLine got a reaction from woodenshoemanHoosierfan in NCAA MBB Transfer Portal
I don't think it was the number of calls. Samson came in from Oklahoma, where he was caught cheating. As a result he was on probation with restrictions, that included restrictions on using he phone for recruiting. He tried to get around the ncaa restrictions by having assistant coaches make the calls for him and then turning the class into conference calls. The guy can coach but he was crooked coming in and even more crooked on the way out the door. Some didn't care and still don't care.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I want to win, but if we have to cheat to win, I'd rather not win.

Wish there was news to talk about instead of having to go back to Sampson…

Just pulled a ham out of the freezer a couple of days ago and put it in the frig to thaw. Easy peasy. To old for all that hard stuff.

And that stupidity cost us years of bad basketball and we still haven’t fully recovered.

BottomLine got a reaction from mamasa in NCAA MBB Transfer Portal
That's what everyone said when Samson started making phone calls that were not permitted. They were only phone calls, right? Everyone else does it. The NCAA will never catch us. Level the playing field, right. What is a little cheating when it comes to winning championships. No I do not jest. IU has always tried to run a clean program and do things the right way. The NIL and transfer portal are new and there are always cheaters out there. Some won't be caught. Some will. Want to take the chance and run a dirty program? Not me. I have some pride in my school.
