Lil Richard has accepted job at New Mexico. Can scratch him off the list!

I would never mention any names directly, but some personalities have even tried to make a career around poking Indiana fans! I guess for some, sour grapes never end.

This! No way boosters commit that much $$$ on another chancer. Dolson needed to give some assurances of who was on the board, probably the order - and what he had heard from back channeling. From that, was able to convey that success was very likely with at least some (top 3 or so) on the list. For that $$, he needed to let them know he was big game hunting this time and was loaded to nail a big prize target.

Joe! Josh Pastner is the GA Tech, former Memphis, guy proudly rocking the face shield!

Best caption....A) ‘One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong’ B) Why always such a problem with the pants - short and long?

That’s what UCONN did to Kevin Ollie...got him on kids meeting with a trainer or something small in off season when they weren’t supposed to. Really just didn’t want to pay out / reported to NCAA and then went to court and won.

Archie to New Mexico,!...if his bro, or Lil Richard doesn’t get there first! They like to rehab mediocrity. Low pressure conference, easier to succeed w out constant squeeze.

Pretty high bar there! I mean no one’s murdered anyone on their way out. ; )

Sorry....but WHAT was Archie’s $250,000 bonus for in ‘18-19? Maybe grades?

That counts as a deflection...+2 on the scorecard!

We just got old and stayed sucky! That wasn’t supposed to be the formula.

‘a human meme for a coach!’ Hahah

Lil Richard got his pocket picked!

Lil Richard starting to take some heat again.

Aljami needs to lead from the bench!

Aljami looks like a freshmen, not a Sr captain! He needs to figure it out, maybe on the pine!

What time’s there Wisconsin game on Saturday?

Can’t shoot, can’t win!

I just want to see Arch call a time out for a call to action!! Sometimes seems he’s ok just getting past the current game instead of fighting and challenging the team to go after every ounce!

A lot of conjecture on here about Trey’s comments on position fit, nba readiness, and winning team being primary reasons for his decision, with it being interpreted as a negative reflection on the current state of IU/Archie’s program. Wouldn’t over analyze the decision as a judgment on the state of IU v PU b-ball. Players often just give generic reasons regardless of why they really choose a school. Pure speculation, but the Shrewsberry family is incredibly influential around the Jeffersonville area, where they are originally from, before moving to the Indianapolis many years ago. Purdue’s associate head coach is Micah! Often, like with many things in life, relationships rule the day. IU had some connections, PU likely did too. This time the PU ones won out. Good luck to him - Kid’s gotta spend a few years in W. Lafayette - that’s punishment enough for choosing PU!

Mike Pegram flipped to Purdue on Crystal Ball. : ( Also, Michigan just jumped up to 100% on #2 PF, #8 overall 5 star Caleb Houstan. Time to move on to the next, but Arch has some crutin work to do!

This potentially helps w Aminu?

The 2020 Committee...’Hold our beers....’

They’ll use it as a sorting tool all right...one that’s sorts us along with the group of have nots (unless we beat Penn St, or they are desperate to find winning teams). Conference entries get political, with in my guess, the ACC and SEC having the most clout. With both having seriously down years, they will look to cover by promo’ing there teams - even crappy ones. If 10 B1G teams get in - that is 71% of a 14 member conference. That’s too much perception of power - the ACC can’t have it!!! Guess who’s in 10th place?

NET of 60 makes me super nervous! I know it is supposed to be a neutral general compare of teams similarly situated - but in reality seems to be a bit of a trashy measure that adds cloudiness to the picture to enable the committee to cut back room deals to do whatever they want. There seems to be little continuity with great discrepancies among teams’ resumes within the same decile. Hope I’m wrong, but I think there will be a huge amount of pressure NOT to let 9 or 10 B1G teams in. That will hit us hard with 60 NET!
