As mentioned I don't want to go into what I know on a message board, but here is some additional published info from the H-T reflecting lack of transparency, lack of appropriate (including required) inclusion of faculty in certain decision-making and governance policies:
On Mar. 27, more than 200 faculty members signed a petition calling for a special meeting to hold a vote of no confidence against Docherty, Shrivastav and Whitten. The petition centered around the administration “encroaching on both academic freedom and shared governance.”
Key examples included Docherty’s suspension of professor Abdulkader Sinno without a hearing from the Faculty Misconduct Review Committee, the administration’s cancellation of Palestinian artist Samia Halaby’s exhibit at the Eskenazi Museum of Art, the administration’s handling of controversial Senate Bill 202 (which restructured the tenure process at Indiana public universities), their rescinded attempt to sever the Kinsey Institute into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and their refusal to publicly defend faculty member Dr. Caitlin Bernard against Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita after he questioned her medical credentials for performing an abortion for an Ohio rape victim.
Sinno said the administration’s flippancy toward shared governance policies demonstrates the current administration is unfit to lead a major research university.
“I’ve had disagreements with administrations in the past, but we all, them and I, respected policies,” Sinno said. “This administration has no respect for policies or the values of Indiana University.”
 

I posted about him earlier today, but here is a short video of a dunk by Tobui Lawal.  Kid is an absolute freak athlete and has a high motor.  Might be raw but you can’t teach some of things he is capable of doing.  Not necessarily an IU fit but….damn
 

Hey I pointed out Wolf Alice earlier in this thread, and I have this song in my playlists. Lead singer has a great voice

So, if Malone's visit has ended, does that mean we're discussing Post Malone?

Sorry -- couldn't help myself ... 

@Home Jersey I don't really think it's IU that needs selling on Essegian but rather Essegian needing selling on IU.  From his standpoint, is a small defined role better than what he could find elsewhere?  He can start at mid majors and compete for a starting job (might not win one) at a lower P5.  He will have other places he can get more minutes.  More $?  Maybe not.

Maybe not so fast…Donte Maddox commits to Xavier

Dontrez Styles of Georgetown commits to NC State.  I assume that means Conwell is going to Xavier.

Wisky has $2.5 million in basketball NIL according to Wisconsin boards....that's probably mid P5 territory.  Probably would expect to lose some to the portal but still be able to get some talent in.  But outside of Johny Davis, has he been sending players to the NBA?  Even Davis has not shown much success yet, particularly for a guy drafted tenth.

Man, he really just seems really ‘meh’.  

My totally trying to connect the dots and to make a guess would be Notre Dame.  Took an official visit there and is a guy who fits what Shrewsberry like to do.

Portal is a bad thing for the NCAA.
But damn it makes for an interesting off season.

No +1.

No +1.

Payne won’t be on IUs sideline but he will be on Arkansas.  New associate head coach

Trilly Donovan alluding to a get by Louisville.  Not a portal guy, but they hosted Kentucky decommit and 8th rated 24 recruit Jayden Quaintaince today, 6'9" center.

He is scheduled to visit the 22nd 

If he goes to anyone P5, he will be walking in the situation he left.  Unless he goes to DePaul.

Did you mean pass the time or pass the Tyme?  LOL

Don't know what's going on with Tyme's account -- he had mentioned some time yesterday that he made tweets in the morning and they were deleted, not by him.  He had some tweets yesterday as well, mostly in regard to Essegian that looked to be deleted now as well.  Have no reason to believe that he is deleting them himself but it looks like someone is reporting his tweets and they are getting blocked.
While I don't like his harping on other 'media' not knowing what is really going at IU, I certainly haven't seen anything he has tweeted that is ban worthy.

True, but Riley Monix of Morehead State was an NAIA player of the year I believe in 23 and he was a stud at Morehead State last year.  I think it's a bigger issue if a player is simply more athletic than his NAIA counterparts which is how they score.  Malone certainly was bigger, but the fact that he can shoot it as well IMO says he also did it with some skills.

He and Essegian were with the entire staff at the Uptown for breakfast this morning.

If Woodson ends up with Rice, Carlyle, Essegian, Tucker, Malone, and Ballo in the spring, I saw we let him have a few days to golf.
