    I was joking but the guys do they have coming in can't be cheap. Coupled with the limited minutes, I have a hard time seeing everyone staying happy.

    There hasn't been an official announcement from the school yet but they were still known. Drew Adams, as well.

    It is. But that could also be due to mostly non-con before the injury versus conference after the injury. Maybe a combination of both. I hope both he and DeVries recover completely from their shoulder injuries and return to pre-injury form.

    TIC = tongue-in-cheek Since I didn't become a Purdue fan while going to school there, it's unlikely I'll start now.

    We are so doomed next year. 2 midmajor players and a freshman not in the top 50 are all we have so far TIC

    With all the money they'd still be getting through legitimate processes, it'd be practically impossible to look at someone and say they're getting paid under the table. Before you sometimes could but even then it was hard for the NCAA to prove it. Now? Impossible without court orders to access their personal bank accounts for forensic accounting. As for the fair market value, "Your Honor, that autograph is worth $1M to me. Are you going to try to control how I spend my money while also hurting this player's livelihood?" Or "This $1M sponsorship will look like a genius investment when he turns out to be the next LeBron James, Your Honor. The people at the Clearinghouse are shortsighted."

    It's still not #6 like he got in WV so he's underperforming with more resources. He hasn't landed anyone in at least an hour. No one wants to play at IU. Woe is me.

    Luckily, we have a realtor who can help.

    Hmm, odd. After I saw your response I tried clearing cookies and it still doesn't load in Chrome. I tried another browser and it does load in Edge. Cleared cookies in Chrome again and still doesn't load. I guess it's nothing, just my browser acting up.

    This may be a coincidence and may have nothing to do with IU but Preston Murphy's page on the Alabama site gets a 404 error. The pages for the other coaches load just fine. https://rolltide.com/sports/mens-basketball/coaches Edit: never mind, it was just my browser acting up.

    So much anxiety and arguing. None of that changes what will happen.

    The timing of the dead period doesn't make any sense. I thought the idea behind dead periods were to give coaches a break and a chance to spend time with family, unwind, vacation, whatever or to give the athletes a break from the recruiting. Are coaches really going to be taking a break in the middle of the dead period? Are athletes not going to be be getting tons of texts and calls? Nope to both. It actually makes the decision for portal players harder since they can't visit a school during that time.

    The math doesn't work since the revenue sharing cap is $20.5M.

    Man, people sure do overreact a lot. I wanted Conwell to come to IU but we missed on him. Bummer. There are other good players in the portal. The portal is also open for almost 3 more weeks and players are still entering. I really hope CDD finishes staff soon, since their previous connections with players could certainly help. I'm guessing at the end of the offseason we'll have 7 portal players and 4 freshmen. I think we'll go with 11 players on the roster next year.

    I wouldn't be happy if he landed the '92 Dream Team. None of those guys have eligibility left plus they're quite old.

    Must've been scared off by Enright commitment.

    I don't know if Enright qualifies as a boom. Snapper at best. He'd be good as a backup PG and to help establish a culture.

    lol at their star system. 5 5* then 213 4* players? That's a ton so it's pretty much meaningless. Even with that many, Kanaan Carlyle is ranked below Gabe Cupps with both as 3* at 240 and 224, respectively. lol Edit: Weird, after opening that page again they had 50 less players on the list. All of them 4*. So "only" 163 4* and the IU players were 50 spots above what I said. Buggy site or something.

    CBS Sports really needs some editors to proof read their articles before releasing them. According to this, Tucker DeVries played for 3 seasons at Duke before West Virginia. Considering this "article" is not much more than an ad for peegs.com, having something so blatantly incorrect in there doesn't make one confident in the product they'd be selling. Not ideal from an ad. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/indiana-basketball-under-darian-devries-insiders-relay-transfer-portal-news-2025-recruits-roster-targets/

    I see what you're saying but I think being able to win a conference tournament shows an ability to win in that sort of win against good teams or go home format. There's no rest like the NCAA tournament but other than that they're very much alike. IU hasn't typically performed well in the BTT and it's no coincidence that during that same timeframe they also haven't typically done well in the NCAAT, if they even made it in. A single year doesn't really tell much since there is luck involved, but multiple years can show a trend.

    Define winning right now. Does it mean competing for a National Championship next year? S16? Comfortably in the tournament? Better than .500 in conference? I think most expect IU to better than recent years next year. Upper half of the B1G and comfortably in the tournament in year 1.

    I know where he's ranked now. I don't know when he reached that ranking. Hence the question which you didn't answer in any way. His offer list doesn't look like that of someone who's been highly ranked for a while. It looks like someone who somewhat recently became ranked. That's why I'm asking.
