More than just our willingness to pay, up and comers will likely jump at the chance to come here. That wasn't true when DeBoer and Womack left years ago.

Not sure how helpful this will be for most people, but if you have Wal-mart+ you can get Peacock for free. And if you have an AMEX Platinum card you can get Wal-mart+ for free (free may be a little misleading considering the annual card cost).

It was even better.

I'll be going to this one. Super pumped!! Hopefully it goes as well as the last game I went to in Bloomington. (Nebraska)

It looks like On3 previously rated him at 31 and now at 147. 2026 Industry Top Basketball Recruits

Which ranking has him #31 overall? Jacob Webber, La Lumiere School, Small Forward

"Exposed in the playoff" OK kind of like Oregon? We get dinged for the playoff performance but no credit for the wins. We beat a team you have going 9-3 by 50 points (Nebraska).

Agreed, my first reaction when I saw spread was that we would cover easily. But then I looked into them and they played a lot of decent teams pretty close last year, and I think they return quite a bit.

Based on just what we know from the stats above, my hypothesis is that that isn't true.. Everyone can't index towards playing older players as it's ultimately close to a zero game by age group across all D1 schools. (I guess more kids could be pushed towards juco/DII out of college, but I bet it's not a material number). If high majors are indexing more towards older players, I would expect to see a relative talent infusion of freshmen at mid-major and low-major ranks (compared to what they would have gotten in the past) and see their PPG numbers be higher than power 5, not lower.

AP Top 25 poll reactions: Oklahoma overrated, Clemson underrated in preseason college football rankings - CBSSports.com Pretty lazy take here IMO. Doesn't really account for the quality pieces we have coming back or Cignetti's track record with transfer QBs. Plus, his last point on our schedule doesn't make any sense for several reasons. 1) We're not ranked in a spot that would imply we're going to make the playoffs 2) What does our schedule have anything to do with whether or not we're underrated or overrated vs. our AP ranking?

Both Wilkerson and Devries with 0 points at half is a bit shocking.

Normal I can definitely get on board with, and I'd agree we haven't had that since Sampson. However, I can't get on board with boring. Archie Miller was boring. However, I don't think D-Rock (as per Prince AM) is anywhere near boring.

I mean it's his agent saying that haha, would take it with a grain of salt.

Both parents having gone to IU has to help.

I also saw them practicing boxing out, what a novel concept!!

Reading between the lines on some comments from Hulls when I met him a few years ago, I don't think Woodson practices were especially intense.

I do think that this being Devries first year and having to replace a whole team maybe got him a bit bigger slice of the pie than he might have otherwise. But if I'm Dolson, I'm telling Cignetti that in the future it will be allocated based on who is proving they can get bang for the buck. You can pay $2.8M for Lamar Wilkerson, but he better be a stud.

Trying to operationalize who is a loyal fan and make adjustments for them would be a complete nightmare IMO. What would constitute special treatment? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? Then the people who don't make the cut-off are pissed. Do they get a discounted price? For how long? Trying to deal with all of that would be a major headache and ultimately a drag on revenue for a successful team.

I don't think bison are tame enough to trot out onto a field. They also hate being alone. Clearly I'm a bison expert after some googling today.

Woodson didn't help him to be sure, but in my opinion he just doesn't have it mentally. He'll have some great games, but I think he'll always continue to have disappearing acts. And I doubt his defense will ever even be average. There's a reason he was so far down in the transfer rankings.

I honestly don't agree. He looks to be a 1"-1.5" taller than Dorn, which would agree with measurements mas o menos. Someone mentioned CDD is 6"4, looks more like 6"2 (which my 5"9 self would take in a heartbeat).

Ultimately it is all about production on a basketball court for Indiana University. Whether or not you can produce on a basketball court today determines where your floor is. If you are defining it differently, then this is a pointless argument. Tijan Jobe and Bawa Muniru were both 7 footers. They had low floors because their basketball skillsets were basically non-existent.

Because it took him several years to get there and there was no guarantee he would develop. You can't take the stats after several years of development and say that it proves his floor was high, it makes literally zero logical sense. His floor was where he came in at, which was a very low level.

Seriously, he's easily the most condescending poster on the board who just "lol"s at everyone he disagrees with.
