AZ Hoosier

So, we won the off-season the last two years and crapped the bed when the ball was tipped. People b!tched and moaned that the talent didn't pan out... This year we have a new coach who didn't gather a collection of players on the level of the last guy, and the sky is falling... Sheesh... y'all need to pick a lane.

IMO, let's wait and see what Coach DeVries is able to do with his team. The last 3-4 years we had a hack throwing bags at stars with no clue as to whether the stars were warranted, and no clue what to do with any talent that he actually stumbled upon. This is not that.

There is... (created 9 hours ago)

What a piece of work... stole from IU, didn't do his job, good riddance to bad rubbish.

TMI...

Understood... but the NCAA is a joke. Their "enforcement" is ridiculous, and teams like UNC, KY, Duke, Kansas and others have cheated throughout the history of the NCAA, and by and large, gotten away with it. Sure, there's a slap on the wrist every now and then, but there was absolutely no "risk of getting caught", and even less "facing penalties", just like aways... The system is broken beyond repair, and I don't see a fix anywhere on the horizon. Congress can't even get their settlement deal approved... time to "just lay back and enjoy" it...

As much as I want to agree, setting caps, limits and rules will only force the excess back under the tables and into the shadows. And, yes, it will only get worse as we move forwards, regardless of what tact "we" take.

Good article on Dorn... and note the photo and the proper use of a basketball rim as a photo prop (BTucker, I'm looking at you) https://www.insidethehall.com/2025/04/26/elon-transfer-nick-dorn-talks-commitment-to-iu-basketball-they-were-honest-and-kept-it-real/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DI2MYvDpy4f/

Still TBD

It gets bizarre-er and bizarre-er every day... https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/44842208/university-kentucky-athletics-department-llc

Son of a b... that's gonna leave a mark.

Nah. You owned it. We're all good here... Let's go, Hoosiers!

Lots of parts... still need a solid big or two... Coach DeVries is cooking with gas...

Is there a projected time line for a decision on Goode's petition for another year? Also, Tucker DeVries also needs a waiver, but assume that's an easy one...

I really think this is a good thing. It might suck for the kids getting sued, but in the end, I think it will bring the whole NIL free-for-all to a head, and it will ultimately usher the age of reason back to this mess.

Just like olden times... you know, before NIL... (Eddie Sutton, Dwayne Casey, Emory Worldwide and Chris Mills)

Judge denies injunction for players suing NCAA in N.C. court https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44806338/judge-denies-injunction-players-suing-ncaa-nc-court

Indeed. Recent history has taught is that even in February and March, they're still getting to know one another... But seriously, I agree... new coach, new system, new players... it's a matter of how quickly CDD can get this team to gel... my confidence is high - he will get it done, and we'll have a decent season... Did Coach get the overseas trip approved? That will help with the gelling,

Nope. Same window for undergrads and grad transfers... all must submit paperwork to you school before midnight tonight.

You mean Colby Zelner, the big fella?

OK, we're past the "covid year", and he's played 134 games across 4 years... how does he have any eligibility left? Seeing a lot of guys with 4 years experience in the portal... what am I missing?

Guess he wants to "be like Mike"... tell me again how many baseball games the Wizard of Broad Ripple attended in 4 years as coach? :D :D :D

Interesting... he originally chose ASU over Indiana and West Virginia... now the WVA coach is at Indiana, and Leo decommitted from ASU. Could the stars be aligning?

Yep... we've been talking about it...
