go iu bb

As far as the 4/5 player coming, Eric from HH posted on peegs that he spoke to some others who were on the call and they don't remember CDD saying it that way. Seems like this is probably a good example of telephone, like we often see on message boards. So it seems like that isn't going to happen in the timeline mentioned in the video.

Damn The Man! Oh, wait, this is the good "The Man." Never mind.

I hope IU gets to a point where they are able to do this if they have some mid-major coach they want to take over but not quite yet. Coach-in-waiting has worked out for Purdue and Duke. Even if IU doesn't go that route, just having the stability for it to be a possibility would be nice for a change.

It looks like the NIL clearinghouse may never come to be. Even if it does, I doubt it'll last long before getting sued out of existence. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2025/04/07/house-ncaa-settlement-hearing-live-updates-college-sports/82968197007/ The judge had a concern about this, among a few other things: ●The justification for a setup under which athletes’ name, image and likeness deals with entities other than their school that have a value of more than $600 would be subject to a review process to assess their legitimacy within the marketplace and such a deal with an athlete advances what is being termed by the NCAA and the conferences as “a valid business purpose.” Wilken's concerns with rules around athlete NIL deals with third parties Judge Wilken says she needs a "pro-competitve justification" for the proposed system under the settlement that would set up a more stringent evaluation by the NCAA and conferences of the athletes' NIL deals that are worth more than $600. That is, how would this promote competition for athletes' NIL services and how would it not hurt athletes. Kilaru says these evaluations are necessary to prevent circumvention of the schools' annual cap on direct NIL payments to athletes and that it's part of the overall agreement. Wilken reponds: "Each thing (in the agreement) needs to be reasonable."

Because why would he want to come to IU, right?

A couple of takeaways from this: 1) Queen obviously doesn't like that Willard is going to Villanova. 2) Villanova basketball started in 1920. To have him be only the 10th coach is impressive.

How sure are we that IU is even in the top 10 of NIL? BYU Louisville, Duke look to all be big spenders. Edit: $4M of the Dyabantes deal is probably from BYU NIL, the rest from other deals not associated with the school at all. Still, that's $7.5M on 2 players. Can't spell "buy" without "BYU." Edit 2: I totally put this in the wrong thread. I meant to put it in the general transfer portal thread since I don't think IU was pursuing him. Oops.

The last day of the quiet period is tomorrow so the weekend is definitely allowed. I'm just guessing at the answer to your question but, knowing the NCAA, probably not.

Rabby says things aren't totally dead as far as getting Murphy. He also says it looks unlikely for Moikobu and Capko. I'm not sad at missing out on Capko since I think the next 2 assistants should be black. Diversity is needed in the staff at this point.

Probably visiting this weekend.

Apparently Duke is recruiting him, too. I still don't think Arkansas can be ruled out since he's from there. I agree, it would be great to win this recruitment not just because we'd be getting a good player, but also because of who we beat out for him.

Congress is getting involved and trying to "help," again. I doubt these make it any further than previous bills. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2025/04/08/college-athletes-employees-ncaa-house-bill/82993033007/ https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/new-bill-in-congress-would-revolutionize-college-athletics-and-end-the-ncaa

He can get another year. Maybe 2. I doubt he stays at IU if he keeps "playing." He played 4 years but 1 was the COVID year which didn't count. He didn't play this year which means it was a redshirt year so he can get another year. He also had a season with only 8 games played so he might be able to get a medical redshirt on top of that.

I was in college before YOLO was a thing but one of my friends used the last part of this for basically the same concept.

This is the first I've heard of needles and spoons. Do you have a link to somewhere where he is quoted saying that? The quote above from Crean mentions roach clips which is obviously a much different thing than shooting up. Btw, I'm not in any way defending Sampson or taking any side in this discussion. I'm just curious.

Were you on the record at the time saying this? I don't recall.

WSJ has IU as the 3rd most valuable basketball program in the NCAA, behind UNC and Duke. They're almost $100M behind those schools in this valuation. The valuation is done of the idea of what would they be worth if they were professional programs being sold. https://www.wsj.com/sports/basketball/ncaa-tournament-march-madness-ncaa-team-value-98c44e14

So, @Scotty R, if coaches don't want to leave P5 schools for other P5 schools, please explain these moves so far just this year: Darian DeVries: West Virginia (B12) -> Indiana (B1G) Drew Adams: Cincinnati (B12) -> Indiana (B1G) Buzz Williams: Texas A&M (SEC) -> Maryland (B1G) Sean Miller: Xavier (Big East) -> Texas (SEC)

You think all that is needed to tell if he's going to be successful or not is the first 1/3 of his first season? lmao

Yes, the probably of IU getting a guy like Kelvin Sampson is 100% since they hired him in 2006. If you mean hire another guy like him? Remains to be seen. Hopefully, CDD will be wildly successful so it won't be necessary.

No. Said we might hear something this week but he doesn't seem to know. He did say IU would have 5 assistants instead of just 3 before.

In the Monday chat, Rabby said that he's heard there will be plenty of money for paying assistants. It sounds like IU is willing to pay big for good assistants like some schools do.

Rabjohns is saying TT has offered Moikobu "a substantial raise and is doing everything it can to try to keep him." Before saying that, he said a mutual friend was confident Moikobu would go to IU. He's still hearing Murphey, Moikobu, and Capko as the potential assistant coaches. No mention of Clark from Tennessee. Edit: From what I could find, Moikobu has been making $250k. Under Woodson, that was about what the lowest paid assistant (Walsh) was making. The other 2 were over $400k.
