I don't have any information to add, but if he's looking for a green-light in an wide-open, freewheeling offense Creighton is gonna look very appealing.

I'm all for that! Isn't he considered a one & done though? I'm not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze on that for IU. Seems to be a tough act to balance unless you go all in (see Dook, Kensucky, et al)

I wondered the same thing. I will say they have made real strides from last year already though. Sadly I think he'll get Rutgers headed the right direction.

Any vids of her doing jumping jacks?

No kidding, for all the talent Sean has had still never made a FF, right?

I am not a fan of intra-conference transfers. IU having 2 of last year's "Captains" starting for other B1G teams is putrid, IMO.

Exactly, I told my brother I fully expected Penix to have a season ending injury on the last play since "It's Indiana (football)"

I'm gonna guess Phin, Al, Hunter, Race & TJD to start the year. Won't be surprised if Lander eventually replaces Rob. I am biased against 3 guard line-ups though, so maybe that is coloring my thinking.

That's a shame! I hate the capricious and arbitrary NCAA rules....unless they screw the right people!

Of the finalists I hope he chooses Providence. I'm all for getting talent, but he sure doesn't seem like an IU fit to me.

Why? This wasn't public knowledge then- wanting a long-term winner with a recent FF run was hardly shameful. For the record I wasn't for Marshall, but don't fault them. Or was this sarcasm and my meter didn't detect it?

If the new crop of guards are what we hope they are, then no, Al wouldn't be that much help. Brunk though? I think he'd be a huge asset assuming TJD bolts. Unless a grad transfer makes an appearance IU is gonna be super thin in the post: 1 Freshman Center in Duncomb and 1 Sr PF in Thompson.....and that is about it.

I was prepared to cancel too, but instead my cousin and I are splitting an account. You get up to six users, so we have 3 each at half the cost. I'm not a fan of Google/Youtube, but that is the best deal I can come up with.

No kidding. I had a better chance of scoring on my high school dates then the Cubs do. Amazing they won the division with no offense and such a thin pen.

I've heard a couple of broadcasters mention that this season doesn't count against eligibility. Is it as simple as that? Everyone gets a pass as if this season didn't happen? That could be very interesting in basketball, IF the same thing applies.

What a screwed up world we live in when this even has to be stated.

I want to get excited about it, but no fans, the NL DH and everyone getting in the playoffs makes it seems more like a Japanese gameshow. Too gimmicky.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but have enjoyed some of the series mentioned: Mad Men, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul (I prefer BCS!) and just started watching Ozark. If you like Jason Batemen try Arrested Development (Netflix) for a completely different genre. I think it's hilarious. I did not care for Peaky Blinders or Sneaky Pete but my wife liked both. Obviously she has low standards :) I would add "The Americans" although not sure where it's available. Another suggestion: Kingdom (Netflix) if you have been looking for a Zombie show set in n 18th Century Korea (with subtitles!) it's for you!

I like it when you talk dirty to me! Any other names you are hearing, grad transfers?

I could get on board either way (sitting or not) but it might be better for IU if he does. Who was the last real rim-protector we had? Jeff Newton?

Completely agree. The only issue I have is if TJD leaves after next season IU would have a true Fr & R/S Fr as their only post players. (I don't consider Thompson a B1G center)

I don't know who all those teams have, but that seems like a salty non-con.

I fixed that for you :)

Thompson starting at the 5 will tank my expectations for the season. I like him at the 4 and assume some spot mins here or there at 5, but he is not a starting B1G or even Power 5 center, IMO. I'd love to see a Grad Transfer C come in.

This article does a decent job of expressing how I feel: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trying-to-protect-everyone-we-exposed-the-most-vulnerable-to-the-virus/ar-BB14mOvu?ocid=msedgntp I think the US response to COVID-19 damaged our economy AND health in the process. That may have been understandable for the first few weeks, but now 2+ mos later "we" still don't seem to get it.
