I know we'll have a competent HC, staff, and system...the level of talent brought in from the portal will determine how far they can get. Bad portal results: 15 wins. Good Portal Results: 18-20 wins. Amazing portal results: 23-25 wins. My expectation is a tournament berth year 1. Even if it's a "First Four" berth, I'll be happy for year 1. And I know Woodson had a great portal haul last year and it didn't turn out well. But the difference is Woodson didn't have a plan or a system or much of anything, really.

Time to come home, Kaleb.

Keep it up Hoosiers

Is the Aver's $8.88 special from 2002-2005 still a thing? Or is it now $18.88...

IU 87 EMU 62

He is a long shot given his extensive offer list, rising status in the ranks, and his hometown being a bit out of our wheelhouse. I think Woodson and staff are trying to hit home runs though, which I admire and appreciate. Landing guys like Flip will become much more realistic after a year of success under his belt. Boot it boi

Does anyone actually think Brooks will go from UK to IU? That would take a massive set of cajones. Hope it happens but I'd give it a 1% chance...

I think if you go new stadium route down the road, you keep the look and feel of AH but modernize it and improve it. Bigger seats, better views, more seats, but keep the unique look and feel so you aren't erasing the history. That won't be needed for a long time but I would bet they go that route if they found a new stadium was necessary. Jersey wise, would love a move to Nike or Jordan with a tasteful home and road alternate for occasional games. Adidas as a hoops outfitter is just not as cool. Most top programs are Jordan/Nike it seems.

I am far too lazy to photoshop this one, but use your imagination.

It's a lateral move, so you pay him more money than he is currently making. That's without mentioning the benefits that he played here and would be the head coach in waiting. Those are all big factors.

And the great Jim Sorgi delivers an elbow drop from the top rope!

The guys that think we are still a blue blood are the guys that are disappointed. Not blaming you for thinking that way, but I do not think we are a blue blood. Blue blood implies nobility and infallibility. We haven't made the tournament in 5 years and have made one Elite 8 in the last 20. We have been incompetent and embarrassed by our rivals...Hardly infallible--how the hell could we look in the mirror and say we are a blue blood? I cringe when I hear it. Luckily we have a road back to blue blood status, which other schools do not. Huge advantage. But we are not a blue blood at the moment.
