Transfer Portal w/IU Interest
spe317 replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
That seems like a “one of these things is not like the other” but if he’s athletic—maybe there’s a future. -

I’ve never heard of that last place but I’m not eating anything from there. -

I’m in the ol’ “pics or it didn’t happen camp” but different strokes for different folks. -

Fears is on a new NIL plan sponsored by the Nutcraker Ballet but also on a payment plan that each shot to the junk is -100K. That’s why they now can’t pay portal players the big bucks. -
2026-27 Roster/Portal/how to fix the roster?
spe317 replied to Asha’man's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
We can’t possibly know who our targets are since guys aren’t in the portal yet…that being said yeah I can’t imagine they haven’t identified at least a few top targets. Personally, if the fan base/admin has the stomach for it, I’d prefer long term sustained success over flash in the pan. I can’t handle another senior transfer heavy team year after year. -

Am I the only who reads that…surely someone else here has the mind of a teenage boy… In other news, I’m excited to see the type of player that, when all things are considered, Coach pursues. -

The Big Ten Conference plays an outdated style of basketball. It’s overly physical and interior centric. Thus the struggle in March. I’d imagine if you weren’t an IU fan and had no interest in the conference, you would choose other conferences 9 out of 10 times. Adapt or die. -

And they get the ball to start the half? We can’t even get a pity possession arrow? -

Woof that body language going into half was bad even accounting for OSU never missing. Really don’t think we have enough folks to play post season. -

At times I feel as though…some players’ defensive awareness could be better… -

Nice to see the team locked in and focused from the tip. -

It looks like we are firmly in the “achieve” section. We are firmly “whelmed”. A perfectly whelming season. The fact our new GM, who is widely viewed as very good at his job and ability to assemble player, recognized the team did well considering the island of misfit toys roster is promising. -
I have a Purdue recruiting theory. Painter only recruits big uglies so he can say he’s not the worst looking guy on campus.

Now I know who’s stealin all those checks from Grandmas to grandkids. Or maybe you use your LLV to run bottles to Michigan for that sweet 10 cents.

What’s the amount of money you make where it becomes okay to be boo’ed and heckled? Is it 6 figures? Can we boo the 50k 13th rando on the bench? Is there a NET rating for the team? Some advanced metrics? Maybe it’s a bell curve where mediocre gets more slack since you have to boo those sub 300 teams but also can boo the top 50 since they all get paid.
