This feels like another case where we all get excited about a recruit that IU gets in on late, takes an official visit, then goes somewhere else. It's been quite a while since we've won one like this for a top 50 guy from out of state. I can't help but feeling like I'm getting my hopes up only for him to choose Marquette.

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but Purdue has whiffed on all their main big 2020 targets now that Hunter Dickinson eliminated them. Painter's never figured out how to turn a good season into consistently solid recruiting classes.

We went to 2 consecutive bowl games for the first time since the early 1990s, then fired the coach. Since then we haven't been back to a bowl game. Haven't even beaten freakin' Purdue. Couldn't even do it at home against a 5-6 rival when the post-season was on the line for both teams. What does it even mean to be "at least as likely to go to a bowl game this season"? We've gone to like 4 bowl games in 20 years. We're never likely to go to a bowl game. Recruiting has picked up, sure, but since when have you cared about national rankings? I have yet to see that translate to W's.

High school coach is a stupid argument, but... He started at the high FBS level in 2012 as the linebackers coach for Mississippi, and held that job for 3 years. One of his previous jobs was in NAIA Lambuth University, which doesn't even exist anymore. After that went to Drake which is FCS, then to Arkansas State. Spent 1 year as the Defensive Coordinator for South Florida in the AAC. Then all of a sudden is the head coach of a B1G program. It was an awful hire, and we've gone nowhere but backwards since he took the helm.

Well, I'd say there's one less program we have to worry about when it comes to recruiting. Zero chance anyone ranked highly in the 2020 class commits there now under this cloud.

Could take a bigger blow if Jaden Ivey decides to open it back up, as is being rumored.

I hope Kansas gets the book thrown at them and pay dearly. One of these cheating programs has to get theirs. Preferably not the Auburn, Oklahoma State, Miami type programs.

Hopefully Brooks goes pro after his freshman season lol. Kid will never see the court.

Duke doesn't have to pay players. Recruits would turn down money offered by other schools all for the prestige of playing for Coach K and that storied program.

Because I work for a huge company with plants in South Bend and there's an IT request to add a new user for someone named Damezi Anderson at a plant 2 miles away from Riley HS. Probably just a weird coincidence, but I haven't been that tuned in this summer so I was just making sure I didn't miss news he left or something.

Not trying to cause trouble, but is there news on Damezi Anderson that I missed? Is he still on the team?

Nice, I like adding a kid who is definitely on the rise. Does this mean we can't take Cross now? Pretty sure we can, don't think they play the same position. I honestly haven't been following this guy's recruitment that much, but I've like what I have read and seen.

So we spend money and make money like the big boys, we just can't get the results like the big boys.

Dakich's tweet probably has something to do with Knight visiting IU in an official capacity. Maybe Hoosier Hysteria or something like that. Just a guess of course.

Everything I've read is that Davis is getting beaten badly in practice. It doesn't sound like he'll start.

I really hope things get serious between us and Garcia, I'd love to add him. Especially since Furst will probably go to Purdue in the 2021 class, so this kid as a sophomore would be huge.

Someone on the Rivals site said he's been fully scrimmaging with the team.

Been in the works for a while now. Lot of people at Marian are glad he's gone too. Don't be surprised to see him de-commit from Purdue eventually. Word going around is that he thinks he committed too early.

Syracuse was the matchup I feared most that tournament. Michael Carter-Williams was a nightmare for us, 6'6" PG that was better than a freshman Yogi and a banged-up Hulls. That team had a Hall of Fame coach who had decades to recruit to his system, and they went on to the Final 4.

I thought 6 schools were supposed to receive their notice of allegations by the end of June. Looks like NC State is the first to get theirs. My guess is USC, Auburn, and OK State are next. They won't go after the big guys.

I'd love that, he'd be a great recruiter for IU.

Someone on this board or another called this a while ago, and said it would be addition by subtraction. I don't know what to think, but more inclined to see this as a negative. He had great ties around the state, but if he couldn't get along with the staff or whatever, then maybe this outcome is best. Assistant coaches are probably overrated anyway.

I like this kid, and would personally take him over Leal I think. He's a rising prospect who is supposedly a good defensive player, which is something we always seem to need. Can we get the top flight kids to go along with him? That would make me like Galloway even more.

My guess is the list of 6 schools to be named will not be a very sexy list: Creighton NC State USC South Carolina Auburn Oklahoma State Then they'll take the rest of the summer to decide if they want to punish Arizona, Louisville, and Kansas. No way they touch Duke, they're way too chickensh1t.

It would be hilarious if Blackshear goes to UK. They'll be good no matter what, but the thought of Brooks having to compete that much more for playing time makes me smile. Seriously, he'd have a guaranteed starting spot right now at IU.
