That's what college is all about! As long as you eventually got that degree!

Imagine the year when IU whens it all. Little 5 will be crazy.

Rabby said something similar. I have a gut feeling one more leaves IU.

We need the whole team to live at Cook Hall this summer!

Rabjohns says we should know one way or another about player movement, if any, by the end of the week.

Just curious..If IU doesn't hire Mike Davis in 2001 who did you guys want to be our next coach?

One common theme I noticed with the teams playing deep in the tournament was that they only play 8 guys. I hope Archie can find his 8 man rotation soon.

All the "way too early top 25's" are Big Ten Heavy...Lunardi has 9 Big Ten teams in and no IU on the bubble. I know we can't put too much stock into these things but man the Big Ten is going to be tough. I think this team can finish 8th in the Big Ten. Probably good for a 9/10 seed at best. I kind of like having no expectations or hype. We had way too much last year for a team that didn't even make the postseason the previous year. This could be like 2011-2012...Need the work eithic like Watford, Hulls, Sheehey, and Oladipo along with others had that summer. I know some point to Zeller as the main reason for the jump but those four guys got so much better.

I think Michigan will. UNC will be down next year.

I think they'll put Michigan State-Virginia together. Both teams will probably be #1-2 next year. I bet we get UNC..again...

Not really...look where Texas Tech and Auburn were a few years ago. You think Virginia thought they would cut down the nets after their embarrassment from last year? If you want to be negative about the program go root for someone else..it's ridiculous to say a lot has to happen for them to make the tournament in 2021. I am not happy at all about this season but they were close to getting in this year.

On paper it seems Purdue will struggle without Carsen. However, they could be just as good. I think Wheeler and Williams will be huge for them next year. Haarms and Eastern will get better. I like Newman and Thompson too.

Sporting News released the first "early top 25" for next year. Never like to put much stock into them but they are fun to read. They have six Big Ten teams. Michigan State and Michigan will be title contenders. Purdue, Ohio State, Iowa, and Maryland are in the mix as well. I think Minnesota should be decent next year. Conference will be as challenging if not more challenging next year...

I'm just curious-where do you all rank Knight (no IU bias) as far as college basketball coaches of all time? No order but figure these guys have to be the top 4: Bob Knight, Coach K, Dean Smith, John Wooden

Did they play together in AAU ball?

No doubt. Barnes would be the best hire this offseason too. He is better than Alford for sure. I'd be surprised if he left Tennessee. I figure they have the $$$ to keep him.

I'd check his podcast/YouTube account later. It was a quote on twitter. Supposedly Dakich has been saying this for weeks as well.

Dan Patrick said this morning he was told Knight may be moving to Bloomington. I think during the 19-20 season Bob Knight will attend a game in Assembly Hall.

Right. I think Bruce Pearl could lead UCLA to Final Fours and Titles. Rick Barnes can win you the crappy Pac 12 and make a Sweet 16/Elite 8 run every now and then. Problem is UCLA has 11 National Titles banners..Sweet 16/Elite 8 is nothing there.

He very well could. I would be surprised if he goes to IU. I think he is Memphis or Alabama bound. Also think we have a decent shot with Quinones. He can flat out shoot.

I think Bruce Pearl would be a perfect fit.

I hate speculating but I'd be really surprised if Justin Smith comes back to IU. It sounds like TJD is going to be the 4 and Brunk, assuming he comes, will be your 5 with De'Ron. Race also plays the 4. I don't think Justin would like a role where he comes off the bench. I hope Damezi sticks around for one more year. He has a better path for playing time than Forrester and Moore. Also, we have three. Romeo, Clifton, Jake, Juwan, and Evan are gone. TJD and Armaan filled two of them. I'm okay with Archie having 11/12 scholarship players. You don't need to fill all 13 spots.

He should. He is a borderline first round pick. It's one thing if you're a sophomore or junior but he has a chance to be the best player at Duke next year. He could move up a few spots.

Look at Texas Tech's players and their rankings. Rob Phinisee wasn't a top 100 recruit. I'm done worrying about recruiting rankings. If the kid will play hard for Indiana and Archie plus fit the system I will take them!

Christian said in an interview that Trendon would not go to IU if Romeo stayed. I mean is that bad to say-not really. Just why does it matter? I just think IU needs to stay away from guys who want to go to college for one year. Nothing against Romeo or Trendon.
