I hate doing this before the end of the season, but I think these players will have draft decisions to make: Cooper, Smith, Tucker, Ponds, Ferrell 
I'll be kind of surprised if Smith and Ponds are back. Maybe even Cooper. 

Going to the Peach Bowl! Cannot wait for Friday! I feel very good about this game. A few questions for those of you who know ATL..
We are staying near the baseball stadium. Should get to the hotel around 3:00 in Atlanta. As soon as we check in we are planning on taking the MARTA to the game. Do you recomend taking an Uber to the Station from our hotel? Or will there be plenty of parking? I'd rather avoid downtown parking.

Super pumped to go to my first Bucket Game. It'll be cold, but 100% worth it. We are going to be in lot CC. We booked a room in Lebanon. Planning to get to the lot about 3-4 hours before the game.

Love the responses! I expect a lot of red and for it to get ugly fast. Probably going to get there around 4:00 and just prepay for a lot near Ross-Ade. Again, only been there once but it seems like a dump. Mackey Arena is kind of cool. I think it's incredibly random it's the NBC primetime game on Black Friday, especially since this decision was made in the offseason. Kind of nice the Bucket game hasn't been the noon BTN game for a few years. 
OT: Don't forget their coach was running his mouth about Cig this off-season. I hope it's worse than 66-0.

Hey everyone,
My wife and I are going to the IU-Purdue game on Black Friday. It's been a long time since I've been at Purdue. I had a few questions for those who may know:
1) Best place to park? I see there are lots of options (or at least it seems that way) around Ross-Ade. 
2) How early do you recommend getting there? We usually get to Bloomington 3.5-4 hours before kickoff and have no issues. Just not sure what to expect up there. 
3) I am sure there are, but are there any big IU tailgate/meet-ups? 
Unfortunately with our schedule this year I wasn't able to make it to Memorial Stadium. However, I have to see this team play.

Ridiculous...Nobody should be playing in college over the age of 24. I'm sure not many 25/26 year olds left, but them sticking around hurts incoming freshmen. 

Unless things go REALLY bad, I don't think you can really judge the coach after a year. 2-3 years is more likely. I wonder what Florida fans thought of Todd Golden in January of his first season.

ESPN: 
DeVries #17
Bailey #29 
Wilkerson #30
Enright NR
Again, I know it doesn't matter. Just like to see where they stack up. 

One reason I'm not worried about the assistants is this: Coach DeVries has 18 years as an assistant coach and 7 years as a head coach under his belt. He built all kinds of connections throughout college basketball, unlike our previous coach. Even if he doesn't land Preston and/or the Texas Tech assistant, I'm sure he knows who else he wants. 
Edit: Landing Preston would be impressive. Nate Oats is a king in Alabama. Unless he chooses to, he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Preston has job security there. It would be a little bit of a risk to come to IU for him. 

Just from what I've watched..I would not be surprised if Reed Bailey turns out to be our best overall player. Doesn't mean he will lead Indiana in scoring and what not. I just think he's going to have a major impact. Almost think the 4 you listed will be our best 4 players. 

shoot the piss out of the ball 

Guys relax....Ryan Conwell is not bigger than the program. He isn't the savior. Yes, he's a really good player from an hour away. Would have LOVED to have had him. It sucks to lose him. There is going to be way more out there. Let's also keep in mind Indiana already has probably one of the top guys in the portal with Tucker. 
What I'm most excited about going after players like Conwell/Dix is this: We finally have a coach after 8 years who values shooting the ball. Let's see how things look in a few weeks. 

Keep in mind that while it's likely we know a good part of the roster by the end of the week, it's going to take some time to fill all 13 spots..most likely 12. Coach is going to be selective which is a GOOD thing. A hard reset was needed in 2017 and in 2021..didn't happen. Granted a different era but Miller kept all the Crean players/recruits in 2017. Look how that turned out. Woodson kept 9 Archie players/recruits (yes, Trayce was worthy keeping) and a few assistants. Indiana snuck into the tournament in 2022. Not all those guys were worth keeping. 
Let's see what this roster looks like in about 3 weeks. That seems like the median as far as commits go. It's very likely guys we will get haven't even entered the portal yet. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get Conwell, Dix, Flory, Enright, etc. But none of those 4 guys are bigger than the program.  It's only a problem if those are the only guys Coach is going after...which isn't the case. 

Coach needs a little bit of rest and to get lunch with Don Fisher lol. In all seriousness that dude has been working non stop since he was hired. Still pieces left (roster spots/coaches) but I can't imagine he's seen his family that much. Take a day or two off DD.

As long as he is cool with a role off the bench and fits, I'm all for him coming back. If I remember right he still should have been in high school this year. 

Props to HSN poster Indykev who snapped a photo of Bryson Tucker walking into Cook Hall this morning.
While I know that Woodson era players still have their Cook Hall swipe card (insta photos of Mgbako there last week), I wonder if there's still a chance that Bryson Tucker and IU are considering each other. He would certainly fit the bill for the athletic 3 that we could use, and I'm a fan of his game and his personal makeup.

He’s a slow Malik Reneau + 40 lbs.
I’ll leave this to CDD, but nothankyou
