Things went sideways with PG and Vic had 1 really good season. His 2nd year when he got hurt he wasn't as good prior to the injury then the injury happened and he still hasn't recovered. The fact that he never accepted the Pacers extension offer was a major dodged bullet for the organization.

Team full of 3rd options may be better than a team with a star and a bunch of role players. This year will be telling but they've built a solid team and done so when they can't lure top tier guys to come to Indy? So I'm not sure how you propose they get those #1 options without completely overpaying via trade which would be stupid or getting lucky in the draft.

If Nike is involved Oregon is the team to beat in that race. That said I'm sure Bates could make a killing by staying at home and going to MSU.

The reality was that group wasn't going to win anymore in Chicago. They tried with multiple managers and that core couldn't repeat the magic they had win they won the World Series. They tried making roster moves in prior years but it just didn't work and when Theo left that was all she wrote for that core in Chicago which I'm 100% ok with personally.

People love to bash the Pacers and say that the Simons don't spend money but that's not true. They just spent 29 million to hire Carlisle while they are still paying 2 other coaches. They also have spent all of their salary available without going into the luxury tax and have the 6th highest salary in the NBA. They have a very good and deep roster and might still make another move or 2.

That's a very casual take.

If Woody shows his style translates to wins. I have a feeling Michigan and IU will be at the top of the B1G in recruiting moving forward due to the offensive style that recruits want to play.

Committing today. It sounds like he's headed to Michigan.

Had they done it in the offseason they likely would've gotten better returns too but they tried to hang on as long as possible.

Know more after he actually makes it to campus

Not really but Lavon Johnson is another DL to watch but he’s saying right now he won’t commit until December. We’ll see if he stick to that

Agreed. The only chance is if they get him on campus and even then it’s an uphill battle.

IU officially offered him right away after he recommitted and they’ve been in contact a lot. This is one to watch

Rabby said IU is working to get him on campus for a visit.

IU is in the top 4 with UK, UT, and UC for 2023 TE Tanner Lemaster from Ohio

Chas Nimrod was about to make a commitment and then he got offers from Michigan and Purdue so he’s pushed things back

Different players. He’s a big 2 guard right now the way he plays.

He just picked up an offer from Indiana. He's 6'10 and 215 lb 4* PF. He's skilled and can stretch the floor. https://247sports.com/player/kyle-filipowski-46101556/

That rumor started on peegs but nobody goes into details. Just that it was about NIL stuff “supposedly”.

Sabonis is a 2 time all star and an awful defender. If you can score and contribute on offense teams will make it work.

But Duarte wasn’t a good pick according to some fans and Twitter lol

Todd went to the Wizards

I really don’t think they’ll pick at 13. Will they be higher or lower? I’m not sure but I think there will be some wheeling and dealing and if players are involved that could shake up what kind of player or players they draft.

Don’t buy the rumors. The Pacers moves always come out of left field…

I wouldn’t touch him. Moved high schools multiple times and left Duke. It’s a pattern of him moving on when things don’t go his way. No thanks. Plus the Pacers are focused on guards and wing shooters.
