And within the past year staff has twice landed the highest ranked player in program history. Very much on the right path in recruiting.

Agree. If we needed 1-2 players around a core sure, but we’re team building

Really need some transparency rules, to go with overall rules regulating the portal.

Give me the $12 Million, I’ll see what I can do…

And she said Indiana University. Not the University of Indiana - always a plus :{

And free throws!

Good to hear, thanks for posting it

Dave I’m a 35- plus year business and commercial litigator. Dismissal with prejudice is a final dismissal of all affected claims. There’s a right of appeal but generally SOL dismissals are upheld - I also haven’ read the opinion so can’t speak directly to it, but with evidence of knowledge of the alleged injury many years prior, sounds highly unlikely that reversal would be likely. SOL’s are there to place a firm time limit on claims

Haven’t read the opinion but dismissal under a SOL is unlikely to be overturned generally. Sounds like an unsuccessful attempted discovery rule exception.

Dismissal with prejudice dismisses all claims permanently

Would be really interested to know how much $ IU has/spends and how in NIL this year. Need more transparency in NIL (and rules but that’s another topic). Those of you who know (I don’t) - sites or people with credible data who track or compare college bball program NIL money and spending?

It’s certainly debatable. MCCollum’s Iowa played a much worse - easier B1G schedule, IU’s conf schedule was significantly more difficult. That’s an actual comp. But McC got to play in the tourney so that is almost exclusively the focus and that’s simply not a comparison . Sure easy to say look he made the EE - and that is fairly impressive. But we don’t know what DeVries could have done in the tourney this year there is no direct tournament comp. Next season should tell us a great deal more - and it really starts in the portal. I was calling out Woodson early for his moronic 2 big no outside shooting “system” with a complete lack of coaching and got all kinds of pushback for a long time - I have zero patience for lousy coaching. DeVries is a good coach, the early calling McC heads and shoulders better is just that, wayyy early and based on a false regular season comp. If DeVries fails next year I’ll likely have a different opinion, but ignoring how he took IU into UCLA, a tourney team, and win there - UCLA’s first home loss in a long time, beat Wisconsin and PU, tourney teams and just looking at overall records in reg season instead of how much weaker Iowa’s schedule obviously was. That’s apples and oranges. McC showed what he can do in the tourney he deserves credit for that, but no he hasn’t shown he’s better than DeVries, that’s way premature and I doubt it holds up. I’m really disappointed in the end of season collapse but I haven’t seen what DeVries can do with a team built with enough time and staff.

“lol” DeVries has a long well-established DI track record, and yes what USPS stated is factual and is an actual comparison of the respective records, which was the point. I’m not going to walk through Iowa’s losses they’re what they are, as is DeVries wins at UCLA, against Wisconsin, against PU. He showed adjustments that led to wins in multiple games. He also lost badly in others - and the teams sometimes lose point applies equally to IU. Iowa’s regular season and McC’s coaching didn’t show he was “heads and shoulders better” than DeVries but sure they got in and we fell out from the same seed position, 9. I saw our players outside Wilkerson inability to contend well at the back end of the schedule — my vantage point it was much more on the players than coaching. DeVries can coach, personally I’m waiting to see what he does both in the portal now that he has time to put a team together with a staff, and next season for how he competes in conf and the portal.

What in USPS’s post that I quoted is wrong?

Why ignore the post I quoted to try to make this stretched comparison. Of course they made the tourney and we didn’t. Comparitively we were similar teams with Iowa crapping the bed in multiple games — head and shoulders above him while ignoring everything USPS just posted and ai quoted is just ridiculous. Maybe look at what the quote and tell me how USPS is wrong?

We were a 9 seed then fell out. Good grief just read USPS’s post - which I quoted - to satisfy your “curiosity.”

The way they were playing end of season, probably, but no way to know. Iowa flat out sucked but then found a way

A laugh emoji? Wow that’s pretty lame Hj

He had a better year bc he made the tourney. My post was to echo what USPS pointed out, all of which points are clear. McCollum was doing pretty bad by any fair non-biased account , failing in multiple games, but he / Iowa squeezed into the tourney and then got them to EE. Wonder what DeVries would’ve done if the team hadn’t fallen out of the tournament. We won’t know until next season - and yes, absolutely has to make the tourney next year.

It’s so funny to read posts lauding Iowa’s coach / staff while completely ignoring the season. our guys blew it down the stretch. Fair to put some of that on coaching, ridiculous to ignore all of Iowa’s coaching failures.

Because it’s about the core group coming back to build on what they started, not some kind of celebration of a losing season. Really??

I think this is a fair read and largely accurate. My only real sticking point or nagging question point is that losing a key frosh starter, who is absolutely a core player positionally including for on ball play and who was expected to be part of core continuity, hurts the team's / Moren's ability to come out of the gate as a cohesive unit. It's also a hit to depth. This team is not in the more typical position of being able to lose a key player or two because of depth. It was rebuilding from last season's en masse departures, and losing a key player with a year's experience in the program can be a real setback. Absolutely need to land players like Shay, but the team's in a much better position if that add is to an existing core group well versed in Moren's system and used to playing together. Caffey is just one of the core players, so so long as the rest stay it may not be that bad, that's a we'll see, but man really really liked her upside and having a core group matters.

You’re quickly losing whatever remaining excitement you have if any, my perception. No one has committed, we don’t know 1 let alone 5 or more portal players, other than the decent frosh. Bunch of mid players? Aren’t going to coach them up? Man, why follow IU ball if you just drag the dark cloud around you every day and before you actually know anything? DeVries has had 1 season starting late with no players and no staff. No idea yet who’s going to suit up as starters next season but that’s kind of the point. We do know we have Carr now. Let’s see what he and the rest of the staff actually do before throwing in the towel.

That’s not good. I hope this is testing the waters/ negotiating and not a simple departure

Can’t imagine they are
