It will be good news. Players don’t broadcast bad news

Sincerely, PR Director and the Legal Team….

Yeah, I'm a fan of his D and with Fife's schooling (my favorite all-time defensive player for IU), I would bet on his locking people down into the floor

I think you’re right here. We’ll see but Miller’s offense was just plain bad, and he deliberately limited the outside shot/3-ball. Al can shoot, I’d bet on him looking better in an actual offense

That’s truly crazy

We get back as a program and HH is hopping again. I’m optimistic on the state of the program, i think we’re now moving ahead again and will get there soon

Now that’s back in the day!

Guess it depends who you talk to. I’ve talked to recruits who love it. I think we lose sight of that these kids are just ballers, they live to ball. It can’t just be a practice, it has to have the big production too, but they don’t care about seeing the guys ball? Yeah, they do

Naah they love scrimmages and it’s front row to see them ball - that’s the practice anyway. The dunk and shooting contests are usually fun too.

On the scrimmage, i was thinking more of the recruits and their families. That’s a big part of what they want to experience. It’s too bad but is what it is. Doubt it would cause any of them to think bad of IU, but it won’t leave that good vibe with them that a good scrimmage would.

ITH has some highlights, Bates ran out of time in the 3-pt contest. He’s going to score a lot of points and i’d bank on him starting at at some point. Parker’s shot is smoother than i realized.

How strange, why no scrimmage, i mean, that is always what HH - midnight madness has been about

Berger is a next level player. She’s awesome

Yay!

Will be fun to see, Bates is a killer shooter, we all know Kopp drills 3’s, that’s his thing, Leal came to IU as a shooter and this is of course without defenders. if Parker can beat them out that would bode well for our outside depth

Same, Geronimo is going to crush it. I'm most interested in the 3-point contest -- Bates, Leal, Kopp, Stewart, should be good

A very frank interview, no wishy washy answers, answered the questions asked (obviously no future in politics vbg), and his expectations are clear. Nice

Yogi be like - but, but my name is in your handle!

Is it too late for me to start singing classical? :)

I don't see the basketball player tuition in that article (lists football players etc., how about that golf tuition?) but sounds about right, though would bet they get sizeable schollys, and it's an investment. My daughter went to Phillips Exeter (in NH), cost well over $50K a year but she had a 2/3 scholarship, and is now on a full-ride scholarship at Vanderbilt -- which is freaking amazing, and she wouldn't have that without the boarding school investment in her future. The stuff about the teacher is unfortunate, and it's going on all over the place, male and female teachers. The public high school where my two sons went has had at least 3 teachers charged in such scandals, male and female, within the past few years.

You know, having gone to AAU and HS tourneys over the years the parents yelling "rebound!" and "Shoot the Ball!" just kill me, lol.

Things that make me smile: "Bates is a shot maker, the most essential tool in today’s game and Bates has it in spades. He played a vital role on this season’s IMG team as the best perimeter shooter, but also their best perimeter defender," Rivals' national analyst Jamie Shaw said. "It may be easy to pigeonhole Bates into the 3 & D moniker, and that is not a bad thing, but he has a little more shake to his game than that. Bates is good in transition and can knock down a 1-2 dribble pull up, but make no mistakes his offensive game is predicated on his deep range."

This is one of those rare times when i actually like being older. :)

Pretty wild timeline - i lived in Btown from ‘76 - ‘88, so 3 NC’s and the ‘87 as a junior at IU we didn’t know how good we had it

Kind of strikes me that I think only 1 person in this thread has said I Thomas. Maybe it’s an age thing. I was just a high schooler when Thomas lead us to that NC but damn that guy was one of the best point guards ever, absolutely incredible, and definitely a smiling assassin, fearless, almost impossible to stop, killing you while smiling. That’s my favorite kind of player (along with 2-way players grnerally) so for me, Thomas and Vic And Vic also bc my kid got to go one on one with him at a Crean camp, as a middle school player, and Vic literally jumped over and dunked on him in one motion. Lol
