  1. Awesome, students should be in those seats. It drove me nuts as a student when alumni acted like students were so entitled because we had the biggest student section in the country. So what, most of the seats were not good. You were in the bleachers most games. Also basketball tickets alone were over twice as much as what I paid for ALL sports season tickets at the University of Texas in grad school several years later.
  2. Playing devil's advocate, I think development is development whether you ever start or not. And Cig has proven he does that better than anybody, so recruits should want to come. If Alberto balls out this year, it will be another feather in his cap. Develop at IU and make money starting somewhere else if things don't work out isn't the worst thing in the world. With better incoming talent, hopefully guys with a few years of development in the system would be as good as any transfer we could pull in. Or not, becuase we're pulling in a top 3 transfer QB each year. I don't really see a major problem either way.
  3. Marquette’s incoming transfer class ranking ahead of IU’s is literally idiotic.
  4. I'd add TJD to that list (not a major year 1 contributor according to Rabby). It's OK to be wrong sometimes, what bothered me about him was that he never owned up to it.
  5. I think almost certainly all of them. I’m guessing we overpaid quite a bit for our roster last year if you judge it by what they’ll make this year vs last. I think many we told we’re no longer interested, but I bet the conversation with someone like Dorn was, we’d be interested in bringing you back, but not at the same price point as last year. Feel free to enter the portal and see what kind of offers you get and maybe we can reevaluate after. I think a pay cut at the same school would be a hard thing for most players to accept.
  6. Money attracts talent. I bet Carr is scouring the portal for value at this point.
  7. We bought 3rd row tickets right at the goal line. I was a little bummed we weren't closer to midfield then that happened right in front of us on the first play. Glorious insanity.
  8. How much would we have to pay Cignetti to coach both teams?
  9. Encouraging because the first step to fixing a problem is recognizing there is a problem.
  10. Agreed, it's refreshing after dealing with Woodson, a total narcissist who never did a single thing wrong in his own mind.
  11. Well, I think that’s a pretty obvious statement. The booing is not helpful in any way, I can agree with you there. But no, I don’t think he deserves sympathy. Single moms making $25k a year with real problems deserve sympathy. Reed Bailey making $1.5M a year to play poor basketball does not.
  12. I don’t love it and wish it wasn’t happening, but it’s hard for me to feel much sympathy. He is making close to 40x the median salary in the US for one season of basketball. And objectively, he has not contributed to this being a winning basketball team.
  13. Honestly, this team is just not good at all. Not a tourney team.
  14. I think we have different baselines in how we think about this, and that’s OK. it was a fun discussion, thanks for your perspectives.
