That’s the only good takeaway from this game. And I’d say they really only gave up 17 because they inherited a short field on one of the picks. Add the horrific punting and I’m really not disappointed with the defense at all.

On the bright side, the defense really hasn’t been that bad.

That would make me feel better if we didn’t look like a D-II team right now.

Hell, I’m not sure we beat Idaho at this point. They’re up 47-0 in their game. Granted, I’ve never even heard of their opponent but today’s performance doesn’t exactly have me optimistic.

He made a couple nice cuts in the first half but the line just hasn’t been opening up any running lanes.

With as long as Penix has been at IU you’d think someone would’ve taught him how to drive his throws. Still throws off his back foot and sails the ball.

It seems like quite a few of our players have been having trouble keeping their footing today.

Amazing that 2 hours ago I was hopeful for a New Years 6 appearance. Now I’m wondering if we’ll even get to six wins.

I talked my dad into getting the B1G Network so he could watch the games this year. I feel like I owe him a refund and an apology.

Can we send this punter back to New Zealand. Sheesh

I definitely did not expect a team with this many returning players to look so out of sync.

Please tell me it was just one jersey *facepalm*

Not a smart move IMO. He was guaranteed 500K with that deal and I don’t see him raking in 500K through NIL at PU over two years. The only reason you turn down that deal is if you think you’re one and done, and PU doesn’t exactly have a track record of players going to the NBA early.

I’m not really sure what to make of this kid. I’ve been watching his Overtime series/AAU footage and generally find myself thinking nothing about him strikes me as a high major D1 player. Then you watch videos like his open run at Xavier and it’s like “ok, I can see it.” That said, he definitely has a motor and was clearly the leader of a state championship winning team as a sophomore. You also have to like the fact that he left Bronny James’ AAU team to prove himself. Downside is he appears to have a relationship with Lebron and you know Lebron will be pushing OSU if this kid jumps in the ranking and OSU offers.

Before I die I really want to know where that fish is lol.

Considering PU fans' go-to insult for us always has some reference to a trailer park, I would love to see Duncomb dominate Caleb Furst with the mullet in full effect. It would be the definition of poetic justice.

I was searching around for details while waiting for my sleep study last night and a couple people were basically saying he had been running his mouth to the guy that ultimately punched him. You can't see the punch in the video but the same individual said the guy came back and Bohannon turned to confront him. You know the rest. Its interesting the press release says Bohannon's friends restrained the guy that did it despite the fact that you can clearly see someone kick Bohannon in the face well after he was punched. Apparently even his friends weren't all that interested in sticking up for him. It sounds like he's known around campus as one of those "Don't you know who I am?" type of guys and this isn't the first time its caught up to him.

I was thinking about next years roster and thought it would be interesting to throw out a starting 5, with some assumptions, and see where people placed our ceiling (in conjunction with our bench, of course). So here goes... 1. Khristian Lander playing up to his 5* billing. 2. Xavier Johnson replicating his production at Pitt with slighter better % from the field 3. Tamar Bates at a 5* level or close to it 4. Miller Kopp replicating his production at NW 5. TJD after developing a right hand and mid-range jumper I know there will be some debate about the lineup (like Stewart starting over Bates), but what would your expectations be if that scenario played out?

Geronimo. During his HS season he said he was shooting 44% from 3 until the coach asked him to start taking over on offense. On the AAU circuit he shot 36% from 3. Either way, he can shoot. If they space the floor and give him room to drive, God help whoever is standing under the rim. On the defensive end, he has the length and athleticism to be a lock down defender. He also has the ability to be a great rebounder. There were a handful of instances last year where his standing vertical was enough to snag rebounds over post players. If he clicks with this coaching staff and they are able to maximize his potential...watch out.

That’s A OK with me!

The best part of this development...pUKe fans REALLY wanted him.

Yeah, his dad comes off like a lightweight Mark Carlino. If Brooks ends up at IU, I don't want to see any complaints from those supporting the move when his dad starts popping off about Brooks not being the focal point of the team.

If Calipari and Coach K ran programs in states that produce the level of talent Indiana produces on a regular basis, they would probably think twice about alienating coaches within the state.

That's my impression as well, and it doesn't really make sense to swap Hunter for Brooks if the previous poster was right about Woodson not wanting to play 4 on 5 on the offensive end.

IIRC, burning bridges in Indiana played a bit of a role in Crean's departure didn't it?
