Ghost of Rick Majerus

I always wished the best for Hunter and was hopeful he would turn a corner under the new regime. But, I guess it just wasn't in the cards. I won't question the wisdom of this staff, they know what they are doing.

So now can we expect Brooks to transfer in by the weekend??? :)

I always think the same thing.

Agreed! A breath of fresh air. Successful programs have this kind of social media presence. I'm glad Indiana has decided to finally make that step.

None of us know what is happening behind the scenes so I don't get the constant handwringing that happens with every new rumor. Why worry about hypotheticals. This program finally has some positive momentum so enjoy the ride. Things work out. My faith is in the staff. Coach Fife himself said the roster will be in flux through the summer so it shouldn't be a surprise that changes are still to come.

Man... I forgot about Hollowell. I had high expectations for him.

I often wonder what next year's roster would look like if Archie was still the coach. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we didn't have to find out, but I do wonder.

Great pickup. Exactly what this roster needs. I didn't realize Kopp was a 4 star coming out of high school. Not that rankings really matter, but I thought that was worth noting.

Me too! Kopp has such a nice stroke. He wasn't surrounded by the talent at Northwestern that he would be at Indiana. I could really see him blossoming into something special.

I like how he plays. He would make a great addition.

A few things I hope to see - Playing with passion and intensity and a sense of urgency - Hitting open shots - Fluid offense - Not losing to Rutgers 3 times in one season.

I've never seen the kid play but from the clips I have seen, I really like the kid. Hoping he can have an immediate impact. What are your thoughts?

It was in a reply to someone

Coach Fife is awesome. I sincerely hope that the program is restored under Woodson so it can be handed off to Fife. I have no doubt he would excel.

Very valid points . And on paper, I agree. But the unknown factor that is hard to quantify is the change in coaching staff and how that will impact the players and their style of play. Hopefully, it works to the positive. This program feels like it finally has some positive momentum for the first time in several years. Sure, there is more roster movement than normal, but every program is experiencing that this year. If we as fans are aware of the glaring holes in the roster, I can assure you that the coaching staff is on it. And maybe it's just me, but If we can't replace the Joey Brunks and Al Durhams of the world, then our beloved program is worse off then any of us could possibly imagine. Don't get me wrong, I like both of these guys, but they really aren't game changers for the direction of our program. Franklin hurts, I agree with that 100%.I really hated to see him go. But I have no doubt the coaching staff will reload. That's why they are paid the big bucks.
