My question about May is: do we have to hire him now? Even if he goes to an OSU and we hire Pearl, wouldn’t he still accept the IU job should he be offered again in 4-10 years? I don’t necessarily see the rush in hiring him as Woodson’s replacement when he’s young enough to be Woodson’s replacement’s replacement.

I agree. Also, Woodson talked a big game when he was hired about how he wasn’t gonna be patient and wanted to compete for big ten championships right away.

Unfortunately, it feels like our best hope for a coaching change is more games like last night.

Did Woodson think this would be an easier job? He doesn’t seem like he’s all that interested in recruiting and there’s seemingly no willingness to chance from a plan that is clearly not working.

I didn’t expect to win, but I really didn’t expect to get blown out against OSU. They’re not good and we look terrible.

Some of you guys are really dramatic. If IU gets Boogie, great. If not, move on to the next one. I trust this staff will be just fine.

You all are a fickle bunch. The championship game was 2 and a half weeks ago and the season doesn’t start for like 6 months. Relax

Guys, the national championship is literally going on right now.

I remember the 2011-12 Bulls had the Bench Mob. That was fun

Yes lol

These guys can be kind of annoying at times but it’s disingenuous to say they are anything but a net positive to IU, NIL, and IU Athletics. They come across as a couple of idiots at times, but they’re a huge voice of support for the entire university.

I ordered my tickets for the mini plan a few days ago. How long did it take for you all to get the tickets?

This debate is still going on?

It’s really unfortunate Fife messed up the Booker recruitment so much. Seems like IU would’ve been in a great position with him otherwise.

Michigan State had an incredibly wealthy booster who used to be a men’s basketball walk-on.

Would be pretty cool to play both championship game participants next season.

@Chris007 so would you say Leal is gone if we get Dennis?

Would there be a scenario if TJD returns for him to pay his own way? He’s about to make a ton of money on NIL deals if he sticks around.

I wonder if Dexter Dennis would be a hypothetical replacement for Geronimo if Race and Trayce return.

You said mid 3rd round in your previous post. I think the other guy was just clarifying.

Probably not. A lottery pick makes more than that.

I think that picture is from a visit. Either on an official visit or when he got to campus for the first time.

I would absolutely love it if TJD and Race came back, but somehow JG would start over Race. Feels like a pipedream, but I think that frontcourt would be nasty.

Do we really want to look like a stereotypical big ten team with a 7 footer in the paint with limited mobility? We’re seeing how well that has fared in the ncaa tournament for the past 20+ years. I’d much rather have Geronimo/Kopp at the 4, TJD/whatever athletic big at the 5, and beef up on wings and guards. Under Beilein, Michigan did not look like a traditional big ten roster, and was able to have consistent success in the tournament. I would much rather look like them than like a Purdue or a Wisconsin.
