Tonight has to be the final straw. No shot Mercer is back. Time to move on and get literally anyone.

Jon Rothenstein had us around 15th as well

Ill take either or. Both will be sophomores and I think both have upside

Olsen Burton Brumbaugh Dorn Without knowing the rest of our team. I guess I would be fine but would like the rest of our scholarships used on younger players after that.

Another thing is…. It would feel too SR loaded again….

If we miss on Burton… I would shift to a younger but proven PG. I personally would like guys with more yrs left over maybe some guys that won’t be around in ‘27-‘28. With expanded tourney on the Horizon… You might be able to get away with a team that’s younger this season and sneak in.

Finished the season strong. Played well vs Clemson. 2 years of eligibility left.

I know he has been mentioned before

I would say on the bubble might mean hotseat year 3

Keep 2nd half of the season tape on Sam Alexis too

Portal combat

I hate Quinn Buckner a little more tonight

Tonight I decided to hate Quinn Bucker a little more.

I mean yes but at the same time we don’t really know what to speculate. At this time everyone is back until it stated otherwise. Which we both know that’s something that can’t happen.

It’s hard to be so sure about the portal or what we need right now until IU has guys enter the portal. Like I can’t even project a bench lol. Im hoping the guys leaving kinda enter the portal soonish personally. Even though I'm sure players have informed the coaches or vise versa.

I won’t miss TKR

On top of that he’s losing probably 4 starters and possibly a 5th in tugler.

I wonder if Sampson retires

Illinois is the better team. Houston is so undisciplined

This Vandy Nebraska game is building up to be an all timer

Hubert Davis and the next year hotseat for what the 3rd year in a row.

I think Siena would beat Iu in a best of 7…. That’s how low I feel right now

This is my thinking as well. Unless you were 100% certain everyone else was coming back next year that wasn’t a Senior… Then no thanks. Honestly this is more telling that we will have some transfers happening.

After listening to podcast and videos on IU’s structure of their team going into next year I think we are going to add probably 5 players from the portal. I think will spend $$$$ on 3 guys with star potential and probably the rest of the portal budget on the other 2 guys. (350-600k each) We need a Big and 2 guards (PG,SG) mostly. So if we can get 3 good top tier players, a solid/average 6th man in the big 10 and upside piece I think we can be in that 7/8 Big 10 spot which should get us a tourney bid.
