    Right. But was someone like Sorsby worth 10% of the pool? Nope.

    That's what I was thinking. He's probably putting that in there in hopes of getting a waiver since he used his transfer already. Oh look, it's #1 on the list: UNDERGRADUATE FOUR-YEAR TRANSFER WAIVERS (Effective for 2023-24 championship eligibility) An undergraduate transfer waiver will only be considered for student-athletes who transfer: (1) For reasons related to the student-athlete’s physical or mental health and well-being; (2) Due to exigent circumstances outside the student-athlete’s control (e.g., physical or sexual assault or discrimination based on a protected class); or (3) Assertions involving diagnosed education impacting disabilities. I hope it's more a more rigorous process than just having them say, "I need the waiver for my mental health" or "Staying at that school would affect my mental health" without giving more than that. I personally have no problems if they wanted to give unlimited transfers without sitting out. But if they're going to put restrictions on the transfer waiver process and put one of the 3 reasons as mental health, I don't want to see every player claiming mental health issues just to get a waiver. It needs to be a rigorous process. If not, it'll make mental health a joke and have a negative effect on those who actually have issues.

    I saw a quote the other day that makes me think that CCC will take a moneyball approach to NIL.

    (2025)- Trent Sisley to INDIANA

    Bryson Tiller will have on OV to Kansas this weekend and will be on an OV at IU the weekend of he game. I don't think he's coming to just watch Kansas but he is considering both schools. Kansas isn't involved in Sisley's recruitment.

    (2024) PF - Derik Queen to Maryland

    With some of the recruits (like what's-his-face that just committed to Rutgers) I would agree with you. Queen? No so much. He and his family have been very quiet during his recruitment. It's not his fault that other people follow every move closely, make claims that he's close to committing, claim to know the school that leads, etc. I also can't fault him for taking his time to make what is a very big decision in his life. To me, taking his time on the decision and keeping his process quiet actually shows some maturity.

    IUFB Offseason Updates

    But quite a bit more accurate as a passer. The play calling may have had him running less because they didn't need it as much but he definitely had less run attempts per game than Sorsby. I haven't watched Ohio so I don't know. Anyways, Sorsby is gone.

    Certainly sounds like the type of QB CCC likes, one that can run.

    (2025) - PG/SG Kiyan Anthony to Syracuse

    They won by 10 points with their players only accounting for 94 minutes vs 110 for the other team. That's a lot of disadvantage time. Impressive! lol

    College Bball Thread

    Nothing credible. I just saw two links where it looks like they probably fell for the tweet from the fake account. One pulled the page (404 error) and the other just isn't a credible and said that it was reported that he was suspended. That report was probably the tweet. No other links I saw mentioned a suspension. He's a dirtbag but Self has no problem with that.

    Yep, he stuck around a losing program for 3 years. Time to move up, put up big numbers at a big program, and get drafted.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    I remember Mallory as a coach but not when he was hired, which is what I'm mostly looking at. At the chance to hit the floor running and have a quick(ish) turnaround of the program. Definitely as far as resume, no past coaches can match that. I'm glad his personality is very different from CTA and some of the others. IU was usually in the running for a bowl game under Mallory (it was harder then) and occasionally ranked, so I'd be happy with that.

    He's the only player I'll really be disappointed is gone when he leaves. Can't blame him, though.

    They would be short-sighted to stay, imo. More likely to hurt draft position than help and always the possibility of injury. They should go pro.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    What I think gives him an advantage is that he was already a HC with a winning team around him. That lets him bring in a coaching staff that are mostly already familiar with each other and on the same page with a culture of winning. That's huge. Most of the hires IU has made are assistants from other schools or promoting from within. The outsiders had to cobble together a staff and the insiders mostly continued the with the losing staff already on hand. Hoeppner may have been an exception since he was a current HC when hired but I honestly didn't pay too much attention at the time to remember how he built his staff. I do remember that he wasn't at IU long before the diagnosis so he never really got much of a chance but in his short time, he showed promise of turning things around.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    Broken link. Looks like they changed justin to jack. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/qa-on-curt-cignetti-assistants-with-jack-fitzpatrick-of-jmu-sports-news/ I really like this part: But, man does he assemble a great staff and he has an eye for talent like no one I have ever seen. That guy was kind of critical of a couple of the assistant coaches coming to IU, though. Miller (RB coach) and Cain (special teams/TE), in particular. With Cain, he was critical of him as a special teams coach and complementary on him as a TE coach.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    Next year IU can get destroyed by decent teams and still play in a bowl. Very favorable schedule. 3 non-con wins and then they only need to win 33% of their conference games, which I think there has a good chance of happening. There were quite a few 1 score losses this year so turning those around gets it done.

    No. Only IU. All the others can f*** off.

    Yeah, there are occasions I do still for for them. Creek is a good example. But in general I just stop caring. Geronimo is not an exception for me.

    Why? He left. I don't wish players that leave ill, instead I just stop caring.

    I understand that CTA and company offered him a scholarship. CCC did not. I was just pointing out that a lot of the players on that list were not offered scholarships, just walk-on positions.
  23. go iu bb

    2023-24 IUFB Transfer Portal

    Notice that almost all of the commitments and offers are for a preferred walk-on status instead of scholarship. From the wording above, I'm guessing that was the issue here. The new coaching staff probably didn't want to use a scholarship on a position that most teams don't use scholarships on.

    I guess for some players, CU also waited until the spring to send them packing. That was a jerk move since the players thought they were safe and it also made it harder for them to find new teams.
