Yes, that would be fantastic. That 2 hour drive sucks.
Another poster said that the UofA 247 guy said the rumors weren't true. I hope he's wrong as I'd love for IU to come to AZ but I won't hold my breath.
With how good the talent evaluation of the coaching staff has been, I expect we'll see plenty of times in the future where IU gets in early on a recruit then he blows up as far as rankings and/or other teams jumping in to recruit him. If the IU staff is interested, he is probably good.
That also means we'll likely see more decommitments. This isn't a new thing for IU, although now the reasons are different.
That's fine, I was just answering a question.
I don't really have a take on the Dorn/Harris debate. Right now, neither impresses me much. In general, I'm not very excited about next basketball season. I am looking forward to football, though.
For the whole season, he was 60 of 158, which is 0.380.
In a 4 game stretch he went: 4/9, 6/10, 4/9, 6/15. All 40% or greater.
If those are excluded, his totals become 40/115, which is 0.348.
The comment I was replying to was talking about being unlucky if all 3 did not get to what are basically Sisley freshman year levels of production. We weren't talking about Wagler levels of production. I stand by my statement that if none can achieve that, it is a failure of coaching rather than a matter of luck.
But if none turn out to be the next Wagler, I guess I would agree with unlucky. I don't expect to be lucky.
If that were the case, I'm not sure "unlucky" is how I would describe it. I think I'd go with "coaching failure." Having all 3 fail to be even be a decent rotation piece would point to misses on evaluating talent/fit and/or failure to develop at least 1 of them.
This is IU basketball. For me, they have become close to what IU football used to be: I expect meh until proven wrong.
It looks like they're out of money. I don't think the last few roster spots will really make a difference but I would think if they just want practice players someone better than that guard they just landed would be good. How much do bad players really help in practice?
It is what it is. I guess we'll see when the season begins.
I think the idea is that they have 5 years, period. They could play every single game or 0 games during those 5 years, but once the 5 years is up they no longer have eligibility.
Wow. No bueno. I'm very happy to hear that no one was killed. That's still a terrible situation, though.
It's been getting more dangerous for some time now. About 25 years ago, I had a pulled on me in Yogi's parking lot. It was about an inch from my head. Scary.
