And take a pay cut.

Bring back Tucker, Wilkerson, and Alexis to fill out the roster. I’ll take it.

Speak for yourself...

We will finally have someone taller than anybody on Purdue's roster.

This made me think about Carr’s agent connections. I wonder how much of a factor that could be in situations like this. If he happens to know the agent well I wonder how much weight that could hold.

This kind of makes me think so:

What you say makes a lot of sense and I hope you are correct.

I hope you are right but I feel like McCollum is going to continue to be a PIA going forward.

Not related to Ryan for anyone else wondering.

Same. I know they will happen, but they never make logical sense when I'm filling my bracket out so I can't get myself to pick very many.

Here's to hoping Carr's connections somehow can help us land a few good ones. I don't fully understand how or if his connections go deep into the college ranks, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

Any chance our new Executive Director of Basketball has the power to fire a coach he didn’t choose after just one season?

Does anybody know why none of the WV kids (other than Tucker of course) transferred to IU to come with DD? I've always wondered that and thought that might have helped some here in this first season. Were they mostly seniors?

Just saw this. Sorry if already posted somewhere: https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-pacers-vp-ryan-carr-is-joining-darian-devries-indiana-basketball-coaching-staff-275311374/?source=column&lctg=26140&eid=a7f2d363bcb10ce63ad46f2c04fa551423d8bf1a7468dda686c3080c3f76cc4b&utm_source=247Sports Newsletter&utm_medium=Newsletter&utm_campaign=260223_090959_Peegs.com&utm_content=Link

I just managed to snag tickets through one of my wife's cousins (no she's not married to him, surprisingly). They are all UK fans. Pray for me going in there. I last went there when we played when Sampson was coach. I think it was his first season.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere in this thread, but does anybody know why Sisley's numbers were so low? Looks like he played 18 minutes but only 2pts and 3 rebounds. Not completely unexpected for a freshman, but the way he was playing in exhibition I figured he might have a little more production. Only one game I know.

Do you know which one?

I sure hope we go this route. I can get excited about these two. Brownell? Collins? Please. God. No.

Yes

Assuming we make the NCAA tournament, I don't think we're going to hear anything at earliest until we lose in it. Assuming we don't make it to the sweet 16, that means we'd hear something no earlier than between 3/20 and 3/23. And even then, we'd only hear something if our new coach is available, meaning either it's Brad/Jay Wright/Tony Bennett, etc. or our new coach's team has also already lost. We can kinda start to figure out things by process of elimination once we lose and other teams start losing. Say we lose 3/20 and Iowa State, for example, gets upset on 3/22, but Drake makes the sweet 16. If we don't hear anything by that following week (3/23 on), we can probably assume Brad/Jay Wright/Tony Bennet/ and also Otz, are not the new coach, but perhaps McCollum is.

He’s in with the Assembly Call guys.

Has Lloyd been officially eliminated?

Except for prune juice! Don’t give him the motherf****ing prune juice!

Are Schertz and Huss truly options? I’d love Schertz if we can’t get our top choice. Don’t know much about Huss.
