Scott? Kathy? Cathy? Jerry? Chris? Quinn? What day is it? What year is it? Who am I? Who are you? What are we doing?

Not over Liam. But, this does not bode well for portal season. Hard to give him a 4th year if you're not convinced he can field a team.

Nah we've won 3 straight!

Final thought from me tonight: For anyone associated with the program to try and put ANY of this on the fans, is straight up manipulation / gaslighting / abusive tactics. Take your pick of word choice. But it's screwed all the way up.

Becoming increasingly tougher to defend Mike Woodson the person if what we're hearing about no contact with McNeeley is accurate. Whatever talking points they've sent Eric out there with could not be more condescending and self indulgent. Whew. The audacity. The lack of self awareness. The lack of doing your job.

I've created a delusional false reality in my head where there is an ongoing crappy off broadway production of Succession going on behind the scenes in Bloomington. It's making me way happier than thinking about the hard truths of next year. And, tomorrow is Friday.

It is a pretty linear train of thought to say, this Liam news does not bode well for portal season.

Doing it the day after a "source" says Woody will be back next year is, certainly, .... Coincidental timing? A choice? Beauty is in the eye of the interpreter. Good luck at Kansas or Texas Liam.

Well we signed him so he has to play for us next year right? Wait this isn't NBA free agency?

Dude, it's Thursday. That story arc is so Monday. :)

I definitely believe he only told them an hour before it broke, especially if they haven't spoken to him since he signed as his mother apparently alleged.

Playing in front of fans at Assembly Hall is currently one of the few redeeming qualities our program has to offer.

It's really simple. All he has to do is confirm the Indy Star story.

To say the internal politics are spilling over in a very messy way right now, appears to be an understatement. It gets louder with every hour that passes without Dolson putting his name on a statement or getting in front of cameras.

Is Mike Woodson a lazy recruiter?

Hey... if you visit Bloomington, he may let you facetime Melo. That's worth a free trip, I guess.

"Despite a disappointing 2023-24 season, Indiana basketball coach Mike Woodson will return next season, an IU athletic department source told IndyStar." The bolded part is curious to me.

Pretty sure we agree but can you explain the bolded part, I thought Dolson hasn't said anything publicly, so basically doing that.

FWIW Trilly said IU was informed about an hour before it went public.

It's not hyperbole at this point to say Woodson's recruiting approach has failed (putting it mildly). It's not hyperbole to say Woodson very apparently does not have what it takes to recruit anyone other than an instant impact player. Essentially, he is shopping for pro's and proven commodities at P5 level. No player development. No roster continuity. It's not hyperbole to say no other IUBB coach would be given such a long leash. I have yet to hear a compelling reason for him to return for a 4th season. New signature by the way

I'm assuming Malik will hit the portal shortly after the season ends at this rate.

It really is. If you watch the series through a second time, you can pick up on a lot of cool subtleties. Other great shows like it: The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, Gomorrah (if you don't mind subtitles or bad dubbing...) if you don't mind subtitles the original Italian is just awesome.

He was strong, but... his hands... they were too small...

That's because my QAnon style manifesto is being suppressed by Buckner and his evil regime.

Kathy? Cathy? Adrian?
