More people are signing earlier this year because of 4/7.

I know! lol. I meant to show his name. It was screenshotted. That’s why I deleted and made a new one with his name

Each passing day it’s looking worse and worse that we gave Woodson another year instead of giving the job to Dusty.

It’s funny when people tell you to be patient. This fanbase has been patient for 25 years lol, with dreadful results…and the one good coach we had, we didn’t work with — but tattle-taled on — is now a HOF coach in the Final Four with a hell of a culture and standard of winning while other schools during the same time were defending their coaches who were hiring strippers, paying money to players and having fake classes. You would find it hard pressed to find another school where the fanbase has been more patient than ours since the turn of the century. Imagine the fans and alum reactions at UK / Kansas / UNC / Duke etc just started sucking and showing absolute incompetence for 2 and 1/2 decades (like we have)…I shudder to think. I mean, UK fans were ruthless to Calipari and he had made the tournament every year practically including a Title….but patience IU nation! We’ll get there eventually…hell, law of averages is on our side.

If he had his staff he would’ve announced it…because if you don’t have a full staff it’s very hard to consistently recruit good players. It would make very little sense to have a staff in place and not announce.

We have to field a staff first before we will land good players. Not sure why it’s taking so long but it needs to happen first

clearly a ton of money. I think we all knew they would be up there in NIL...but my goodness, they are way way way up there.

It's frustrating watching what Louisville has been doing the last several days. They have the potential now to be a preseason top 5 team. We knew Louisville was going to load up on NIL, but hell, even after the Conwell commitment I thought that they would be slowing down or running out of money. NOPE! 2 days later they pick up one of the best shooters in the class LOL. We'll see how all this talent will mesh, but it's a lot.

I understand this sentiment...but unless your Houston, who seems to keep players despite less pay (see Juwan Roberts as an example with Kansas State offering him a ton of money last off season)...seems like there's a risk of losing a player to a portal nor matter what year they're in. See Tre Holloman from MSU as an example. It's virtually free agency every year. So no matter what year they're in, they might only be here 1 year.

This is true...but CDD clearly thought Conwell was a good fit to his system else he wouldn't have offered him close to 2 mil. It's fine to admit losing Conwell sucks but acknowledging there's still plenty of time to build a strong team.

Yup…hell, CDD had to build WVU from scratch last year and frankly should’ve made the tournament. With our resources and CDD coaching ability, comfortably making the tournament and winning a game or two should be the expectation next year..and I still think that’s what we will get.

Lol. Didn’t know saying losing a player we wanted “stings” constituents as our class is dead…But sure, whatever you think.

Nobody is acting like losing Conwell kills the class….but it hurts. He’s an all conference type player and from all accounts we went “all in” on him and wanted him. We lost him to Louisville who just picked up another monster guard 24 hours ago. It stings

Losing Conwell stings…and to Louisville of all places after literally picking up Woorley 24 hours earlier. Man oh man that is a bummer. Louisville might arguably have the best backcourt in the country next year.

One of the top guards in portal

Houston actually better on road. They were undefeated this year

Houston essentially played 2 road games lol

This might sound hyperbolic…it might be the best defense I’ve ever seen lol

Houston makes everyone’s offense disappear. Frankly, their defense is incredible.

It was a joke because Rabjohns said it

Yeah..scratch Auburn off the list

Just a gut feeling
