IU Prof

Man, some of you really ought to be charging NGW rent given the degree to which he's living in your heads...

Ok, so old guy yelling at clouds now and also someone that handed a former player in the late 90's a vodka bottle at my apartment the night after they beat Kentucky (IIRC), our recruiting visits are a little more "bar centric" than I would want if I was the staff.
I know the guys go out and do stuff and have some fun and they can't be basketball and school 100% all the time, but....I don't know, just seems like not the type of message I want to send out to attract real winners.  That's just me and I know I am going to get raked over the coals because college kids should have fun and all that.  And I don't necessarily disagree with that, but I would worry that the bait I am using isn't catching the exact fish I want.

Some would say as much as he talks about us on X we're living rent-free in his. HA

This madness is unsustainable

We’re running out of room in Assembly Hall for all these offseason banners. Is it 8 straight titles at this point?

Seems like CE, Carlyle and Malone....One open scholly. Easily go 9 deep for the rotation with 10 times the total talent as last season. Problem is our chef can't cook all that well no matter the ingredients.

My issue is with the combination of the transfer portal and NIL. Pick one or the other. The current climate where everyone’s a free agent at all times every year sucks. It has already ruined bowl season. 

Whether or not he can shoot 3s really wasn't the main point, simply an observation. I see nothing SO FAR to change my perception that this team is still no better than 2 years ago

Spoke to some people. Their concerns about Woody still not being engaged enough in the whole recruiting, especially in the portal are all still there. He's doing a little more but not still nearly enough as people would like him to. He thinks as long as the money is there, he'll be fine. Take it for what it's worth but that was passed along to me. 

And honestly, after 3 years of this, is anyone surprised at Woodson’s lack of effort?

Time to fire his @$$ and move on.

Personally I would start Conwell over just about any guard IU has (other than Rice)

Anyone else really struggling with the conflict of not wanting Woodson to have any success and wanting Indiana to do well?  
I want Indiana to have good players, but I want Woodson ran out of town.  
Such a struggle. 

This all seems eerily similar to last portal season. We think we have someone and then we don't. Speculation on lineups runs rampant and then disappointment and despair. Wake me when it's over.

The thing I like about some of the guys we have been targeting is 
A) multi-year guys..Myles Rice, possibly Carlyle, Conwell, Payne. I don't want this to be an every year thing where Indiana has to replace it's best players. Obviously things change but Carlyle is seen as a second round pick. Mgbako and Reneau have work to do to get drafted
B) I think while Jakai and Gabe may not see as much playing time next year, they have a chance the following year to step into a role better suited for them. 
C) I think some of the '25 guys would fit right in as well into a good role. 
D) If Mgbako were to go pro Tucker can step in. 
Still will have probably 5-6 scholarships but most of your core will be back unlike this offseason and last year. I hate to say it, but I think that will be the new norm in college basketball. That being said, landing these guys is not only good for 24-25 but for the future. 

I think Conwell's NIT run pretty conclusively settles whether his talent can play up a level.
