Yeah I have no idea, haven’t followed him, but he has shown the scoring and shooting this season that a lot of NBA teams are looking for and the article indicates he’s also testing his draft outlook

My guess for some, like Malik, is it's just as much about their NIL package as how they fit. DeVries is team building. No one on this past season's roster (outside Ballo who graduated) deserved the high NIL percentage they had and undoubtedly want going into 2025-26 when DeVries is building the team. Some will do well elsewhere, and that's good - I hope Malik does great elsewhere - but overpaying them here made no sense.

Will you stop spying on me!

I wonder if he gets NBA traction.

Yeah that play call at the end was perfect- that’s a Hell of an X’s and O’s coach, and well executed

Buh bye PU

Yep, I said I expected Sampson to make some adjustments, much better looks, they’re balling

PU getting a cake walk to this game and then getting basically a home game is a joke, double digit loss season. This isn’t Painter’s coaching. Please. I expect Sampson to make some adjustments 2nd half. And since I have a kid at UH rooting for them (that and never, ever, root for PU)

Let’s hope so!

Yeah not counting on Goode, but -- still at least possible it's 3 players

Bama with 25 made 3’s. Woodson be like, why?

Thar was the ONLY reason!

He’s a wacky, wacky, but good man who resurrected our program from the bottom of the barrel disaster left after Sampsongate, and who along with a couple B1G championships and SW16 runs, gave us in no particular order, Vic, Cody, Wat, Sheehey, Hulls, Yogi, OG, Bryant, I mean some of the most loved players, and some of the best players to play for IU. Yeah, I like the guy and would love to see him find the right gig

NCAA No. Clue. About. Anything

Gotta love that at one point talking Big 10 one of them says you’re going to go “to Rutger” — hahahaha But yeah, they loved DeVries, an “elite coach,” encouraging

Good info, thanks for posting

Drake's record before you know who was horrible. Minny isn't the hinterlands, that's just over the top. No need to make excuses for Pitino, maybe he's improved from the young coach he was, the last two years look good, let's see how it goes from here.

Still think that Moren went out of her way to specifically state IU needs to add bigger and more athletic players and grow as the women's game has grown is getting lost in the need to post that she hasn't landed the right people to win at the top. She clearly gets it. On the 'hard to play for comment,' well, yeah. She wants players who want to work hard and play team ball. There are players who want to be one-way scorers and more of a look at me so I can make the pros player. That won't fly under Moren, but I don't buy for a second that she needs to give up on that approach to add players to win. She recruits players who win, but also want to work hard, and again, we're already competing with the top programs. So, add the freaking athletes and size. Really think she won't win more with them?

Will be fun to see how it turns out, if he’s growing into his father’s shoes X will be very good

There are plenty of coaches who build poor programs into good ones, say how was Drake before you know who?

Definitely interested to see how he does at X. I’m not convinced he’s very good, but he was young and did just do very well the past two seasons, and X gets good players

Hmm, disagree. I said sometimes comically, and it was. His record sounds like Crean. Would have been badly disappointed if IU had hired him, but that was never going to happen

I wonder if it’s a good move for Xavier. He was bad at Minny, sometimes comically, over 8 years. Has done very well the past 2. How much of that is players - lightning in a bottle? Miller to Pitino looks like a real downgrade to me, but interested to see if the past 2 seasons are a reflection of his coaching, or not

But I cut off your bloody arm!

Geez if only this Board had a sense of humor it might be a fun place ….
