Yes. I believe at one point we were heavily involved. I think he was at a football game.

There are reports that Terrence Clarke out of Kentucky got in a serious car accident and may have been killed today. He had just declared for the draft. I hope these reports aren’t true. Prayers to him and his family.

Well said and accurate.

Brooks has incredible upside and is a potential player who can have a long career in the NBA. To think otherwise is naive. For those that are saying he isn’t that good...what makes you think he can’t improve? Do you not trust CMW to improve his game and possibly help Brooks reach his full potential like so many other NBA players he’s done? I know, I do. Brooks is another weapon with huge upside. I’m taking him.

Bingo-hence no announcement on social media of “I’m coming back.” Which is the point I made earlier.

Maybe the roster is completely set...but how do we know the roster is completely set? How do we know CMW is recruiting "everyone" to stay? Listen, I don't have the slightest idea if Brooks is coming or going or entering the NBA draft....What I do know for sure is who is coming back to Indiana --based on player's social media post announcements-- which will make for an incredibly fun year....I'm also for advising someone to go elsewhere to play more minutes (if they weren't recruited to stay) if it means bettering the program.

He wouldn't force someone out if he convinced that particular person to stay...but we don't know if he convinced everyone to stay...With new coaches coming and going players are advised to go elsewhere all the time. This is nothing new.

This is good news imo.

Don’t think Brad comes - but the Holtmann story is fake news

Fake news

I hope so. But will be shocked if it’s Beard - so no need to worry about buyouts

Let me clarify....I would take all those three. In terms of our next coach...not sure - but I bet IU knows.

I wouldn't expect Beilein. I think our next coach is currently in the NCAA tournament...not named Beard, Mussleman or Drew.

I would love Beard..., and a lot people...including Vegas... think we will land either him, Mussleman or Drew since they seem to be all top targets. Maybe my mind will change but at this moment I don't think we get any of those three.

I don't know specifics...other than we were looking good and now it's changed. I hope I'm wrong. We'll see if the insiders here will stick to their predictions

I'm not being negative.

plan b

We were oh so close. Closer than we could've imagined...

Great win!

It's possible that Arch was hoping these guys would "mature..."that's not been the case tho

I’ve said it before...some athletes tend to be brittle and their career is defined by injuries. Obviously, we all hope this is not the case with Rob, but he seems to be unhealthy far more often than healthy.

Phinisee seems to be brittle. I hope he can get healthy and stay healthy.

I can tell you that this year’s team plays much better collectively than last year’s team.

Sean never coached at OSU but at Xavier. Archie was an assistant at OSU...but for Thad Matta.

Yea, Marquette has their one player. Next time we should use Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon and Isaiah Thomas to name a few lol. I realize it’s not this simple, but nonetheless it has to be a huge factor in a decision. Dawson could be missing link to what would be a dominating team that has a great chance to do something special. Marquette on the other hand...well, you lose your best player and have a bunch of unknowns...not all that exciting. I’m really glad that Arch had the opportunity to go up there again and make his point on why IU is the place to be. No doubt in my mind he’s really good at this.
