Edit: Lovely week.

Man, his former high school coach sure threw up a big smoke screen a few weeks ago didn’t he? It was so widely assumed until that “he’s 100% focused on being a Hoosier next year” quote. Wish DA the best. Think this was a good decision for him.

Not lending any credibility to ISP, because I have no connection or knowledge about them at all - but, Chris Reynolds becoming the new AD was all but decided upon and was being planned for, until McRobbie interjected in the 11th hour. So, not saying ISP deserves more or less credibility, but take the AD miss with a grain of salt.

I’d recommend everyone get their seat belts tightened and enjoy the ride. As the late Bill Withers said, it’s gonna be a lovely day. ;)

Sounds like they will, but won’t be voted on until May 21st.

Just announce for Duke and get it over with already.

Had a chance to watch some film on this guy today and I’m becoming more of a fan. He’s got a really strong frame already and uses his body well to get his shot off in the lane. Was really impressed with his mid-range game around the elbow. (A lost art form) He obviously shoots the three ball well, but I think there’s even some upside there with a little work on his form. It looks to me like his guide hand is a little too much on top of the ball and could be brought down the side a bit to allow him to release at a higher point and fix the small hitch in his shot. For a 40% shooter from deep, to still say it has room to get better is pretty impressive. I hadn’t been as high on him in this class, but he’s rising up my wish list.

Got to wonder if/when the FBI investigation impacts their ability to reload year in and year out. Maybe the lack of a repercussion has just emboldened them to keep up the shady practices and that’s why things keep rolling along. ?

http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=27434833 Jovan Swann transferring from Stanford had been known from his Twitter announcement. I hadn’t really gotten too far into his potential impact yet. But came across this. Granted, it was from before last season, but being talked about as the top ranked defensive player in the country in any form tells me he’s got a serious upside for the Hoosiers in his one remaining year.

Did she enter the transfer portal? Also, anybody know how she was ranked as a recruit coming into Oregon? Agreed that we would be wise to add some post position depth.

Nope. The mayors. It’s breaking news at the moment so can’t find a supporting link for NY, but here is the California Mayor. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/15/politics/los-angeles-mayor-coronavirus-concerts-cnntv/index.html

LA and NY mayors just said sports events and concerts are unlikely to resume in their cities until 2021. Wonder if recruits to colleges there would be given releases of their commitments if other states and/or cities will be playing basketball/football in the fall.

Well said. Agree with all of this, except that we are fighting for his services with Purdue. They aren’t a factor here.

I really think word on transfers and the fact that we haven’t announced anybody incoming has a lot to do with the May 21 meeting of the Division I Council when they will be voting to change the transfer rule. Archie and crew are smart to wait for that vote if they may only have room for one transfer, because all of the sudden there could be a free agency market to go choose from. If you’ve already grabbed several players from the small group available now, you might hamstring yourself from grabbing an elite transfer who will be immediately eligible based on the vote. Same may go for DA’s decision. He may be waiting to see if he has the option of being eligible right away because if he has to sit out a year it’s not worth it to him.
