Magisterium

AFC South now 0-6? that's some impressive work right there....

especially playing in a division with multiple blue-blood programs that take in as much $$$ from one home game as IU does from an entire season At this point in time P5 football IMO is as much about spending as it is about recruiting or coaching--something IU is willing to do in basketball but up until very recently hasn't been willing to do in football. The results speak for themselves, and unless future FB spending changes dramatically, I don't expect the results to either.

sounds like the UC game is sold out, which means a # of Bearcat fans likely bought tickets (a la tOSU fans every other year)

not to mention Kansas, UNC and UVA....and, above all, Gonzaga

maybe not quite as handsome as Cody though.....

hate to say it, but if his stock keeps improving he looks like a classic Gonzaga or Duke recruit what is K now, 82? well, at least his hips aren't that old......

kinda hope Woody retains Hunter (unless MW feels he can bring in someone else who can hit the ground running in the portal)

would IU re-pursue Tre Mitchell? (if I remember his name correctly) or maybe he was a Bruiser Flint guy originally?

I can't remember: are either of the Duke transfers worth pursuing? sounds like UK will also try to get Kessler and Justin Powell--maybe Cal's loading up for one more run at the brass ring

if Miller's let go it might be stated as being due to the investigation, but IMO the real reason would be "not enough wins" so maybe they'd at least look at Pasternack but boosters may feel he's not (yet) a big enough name and want to make a run at Oats or Musselman FWIW

if Arizona lets S Miller go, Pasternack could be one of the main candidates to replace him, which would open up the UCSB gig and I'd expect Lewis to be a candidate for that job--also, I haven't followed it closely but if Utah State is now open....ditto

will there be a DOBO or is that redundant now with Matta coming on board as AAD?

Comar's health was probably more conducive to that than Thad's is....I have to think Matta accepted the position with the understanding that sitting on the bench, and travel in general, would be situational and would be Thad's call to make on a case-by-case basis. I assume Dolson was OK with that arrangement.

IIRC it would cost almost as much (unfortunately) to meaningfully rebuild SSAH as it would to build a new arena altogether (or so the planning committees were told) if Wildermuth/Gladstein is left as is, I guess the only ways expanding Cook Hall might be feasible would be to the west and/or vertically somehow

not sure what can be done in regard to facilities, except maybe renovate/expand Cook Hall somehow?

Matta won't be able to "recruit" as such (off campus) and he won't be able to do any bench-coaching

sounds like Lewis may be pretty happy where he is

when has that stopped U of L?

thought Lander had been contacted by C Mack almost as soon as he entered the transfer portal?

since Goodman is the guy who stated unequivocally "I don't see any way Archie can fail at IU" his reaction today is an encouraging development

that's my point

for Fife to come I would assume 1) he feels he's 2nd in line, not 1st, to replace Izzo and 2) he would get a similar title on Woody's staff

that depends on whom those assistants turn out to be

interesting that getting a Head NBA coach now (Stevens) would be considered all but impossible due to the timing, but getting an Assistant NBA Coach is apparently no problem

my point about Oats (& by extension Muss) was exactly that: both schools could've matched any IU offer, so it would've taken some other factor(s) to persuade them to make the move to Bloomington
