    Why even put yourself in that position for the ref to call? On the flip side, if they didn't call that and the team you were rooting for (IU) was the shooter we would be incensed too.

    Few has come out in the past saying exactly this. He watched his predecessor, Dan Monson, who first got the Zags relevant go to Minnesota only to fail there. Monson never really recovered and is now at Long Beach State. Few was an assistant under Monson and I think he learned that the grass is not always greener and, therefore, has decided to keep the train rolling at Gonzaga.

    Romeo Langford - BCM Gravelines Dunkerque

    Sure? I don't remember him playing in the Duke game. Actually I am pretty positive he didn't. Unless he had another injury and came back and then broke it.

    IUBASE vs Penn State - April 5-7

    Man two Friday's in a row now where we have wasted a good Pauly performance and came up empty at the dish. I get we are going against the ace but pretty unacceptable. You said it best with feast or famine. The lineup is too good to put up any 0's.

    Romeo Langford - BCM Gravelines Dunkerque

    DJ White for me! That year with him and Killingsworth was going to be scary for opponents. I believe we had Wilmont, Calloway, Vaden....man could have been a special year and then DJ went and broke his foot in one of the first games of the season. Think that was 2005.

    No way. Go Cards.
  7. Exactly. I mean we have no idea what went on behind closed doors or what the dynamic was with him and his teammates. I did see him give minimal effort at certain times and what looked like some pouting when he did not get the ball. His dad kind of validated some of it on twitter. I know other guys like Green had moments like this too. Either grow up and continue to work hard or get out.

    2019 Off-Season IU Roster News and Moves

    I'm not too bummed with Moore and Forrester if we get Brunk for 2 years. He is already ahead of both in terms of development and from what I have seen from TJD he is definitely not a 1 and done. Moore seems a better fit for a mid major just based on his lack of strength. You can tell he wants to be on the perimeter. Forrester is still intriguing to me somewhat but I did find it odd that that Race immediately passed him after all of his issues he dealt with. The guy I wish we had back was Emmitt Holt although I know he would have graduated by now!

    Just needed to circulate it on Btown Banners :)

    I don't know it is the NCAA....but yeah hopefully he is blowing them up.

    Fred Glass Retiring

    The real story is both QB's were going to be back ups again this year, which was plain as day but Fields did use that to get out of dodge. I haven't seen anything about Utah disputing it and if they do Glass absolutely needs to come out and be vocal about it. I finally see IU beat writers posting the story all over twitter but our administration gets paid the big bucks for a reason and this should be an easy decision for the NCAA and something IU needs to be putting pressure on the NCAA about. Fields and Martell were granted eligibility over a month ago What's the hold up on Tuttle?

    Fred Glass Retiring

    I haven't heard anything about Utah disputing it. Tuttle only took part in spring practices last year but never played for the Utes so to me his case is even easier than a guy like Fields who appeared in 12 actual games. Tuttle announced IU in December whereas Fields (Georgia to OSU) and Martell (OSU to Miami) both announced in January. Seems like a major case of favoritism here.

    Anyone know why Glass hasn't been vocal on this front at all? Seems like someone should put some pressure on the NCAA rather than keep quiet since this is a huge piece to the IU football puzzle.

    2019 Coaching Carousel

    I feel like Mullin and Ewing have been disappointing. Ewing 34-29 overall and 14-22 in a not great conference. It does look like he has a few good young players so next year will be big. Mully - 59-73 overall and 20-52 in conference. It's a good thing the bubble was weak this year and he squeeked in. He had a lot of talent with Herron and Ponds on the roster, both of whom will be gone for the NBA after this year. I'm not a big believer in hiring ex- NBA stars to coach. Of course, every once in a while you might find something!

    2019 Coaching Carousel

    Cronin and Dixon are both at their alma maters. I don't see either one leaving for the bright lights of LA. Honestly, the only one from that list that seems plausible is Watson, whom I am sure many ex-players want to see hired. Shaka may be out of a job after the NIT too.
  16. Numbers can be misleading. People were excited solely based on that without ever seeing the kid play. Kid clearly couldn't play in the Big 10. He just couldn't. I am not even talking shooting. He was a good spot up shooter. But he couldn't guard, rebound, dribble or do anything near the post. It was a miss. We move on but Archie needs to hit on the next one as I wouldn't be surprised if we explore this market again and we surely have some needs to fill still.
  17. The whole thing was just banking on too many unproven pieces that have never contributed at the D1 level. Davis was never going to be 100%. Needed someone to step up there, they didn't or were injured. That was kind of the theme at a number of positions. Hopefully, Archie can sort it out and bring in some more new pieces on top of TJD and Franklin that will fit better.
  18. Everyone knew Davis would be limited. Achilles injuries take time to heal and its more of a two year injury to get back to 100%. The fact we didn't have another option there knowing this is on the staff for not bringing someone in...oh wait they brought in Fizner :)

    Texas Tech is a great example of finding grad transfers that can play and fit well with the current makeup. Both Tariq Owens and Matt Mooney are key contributors. I thought Tech would be worse this year than last after losing a few great guards but not the case.

    Anyboyd see this? Boy, that would be a heck of a hire for Nebraska.
  21. If things had gone well this year I really think he would be at IU. Unfortunately, Cal keeps rolling and producing 1st round picks. I have no doubt Keion's parents believe he will be exactly that after one year. He probably believes it too.
  22. Right, doesn't one of them have to drive 5.5 hours? I sure as heck wouldn't do completely blind or without a good hunch. Unless, he is like my best friend but even then it seems weird not to have any idea where he is going.
  23. I do as well. TJD and Franklin both going....just seems like they wouldn't bother if it was UK....at least for both of them to attend. Romeo may not have had the year some imagined but he is still a projected lotto pick. I don't think Brooks feelings about IU changed this year and I don't think he would be concerned about going to IU and not having a chance to drafted as high as if he went to UK.
  24. Don't care about the CB predictions, they have certainly been wrong before. It's not a completely overwhelming turn of the tide like some so I still think there is some guessing and not great info out there. I think he picks IU.

    NC State isn't any better other than this win. I think they should have to beat Virginia with their horrible SOS but just me.
