Coach Robby

I get that part. But signing contracts with alumni? Just wild to me, that's all.

Yeah? Just handing out money isn't exactly the definition of "NIL"

Haven't posted in quite some time, lurked a lot though! NIL to me was players could be featured on advertisements, in commercials, or brand their own clothing, etc. They could make money off of their name, image, or likeness. I didn't see "contracts" coming, or whatever Miami gave to Pack. College basketball players are no longer "amateurs" and never will be again.

I have the same % of suiting up for the Hoosiers as he does. Hope it all works out for him

2 and done most likely. I think the one and done players will go more of the OE route, or G League. Kids (young adults) being able to make money off of their NIL may want to stay an extra year to hone their games? Also, I made a suggestion once the NIL was approved...all these guys who will make major $$$ should major in business...help give them an idea of investing and other avenues. What a time to watch it all unfold!

1:55-??? You may not be able to get on lol

Sorry for not posting in quite some time...IMO JHS has the potential to be the best guards we've gotten in the last 10 years...The potential and leadership qualities are already present. Pair him with TB next season....Lawd.

I was simply responding to the initial poster...I see what I missed now. Yes, PS or RP would be starting. Simply an oversight on my part.

I love this kid. I thought he was the player we wanted Hanner Perea to be...with a jumper

If all 5 of those items occur? Sheesh...we could be playing on the final weekend of the season in early April... I think the biggest improvement that will be made is the ebb and flow of the offense in the halfcourt...so many of our guards have been misused over the past four years. Better spacing, especially when TJD faces a certain double team (esp if #5 above is true) 1. KL- can literally go nowhere but up. Like make a couple layups and it's already better lol. Hope he finds his niche, think he's got the most to benefit from new staff. 2. XJ- can't wait to see him on both ends. Would take similar stats from him, vocal on floor leader 3. TB will be, just wait. My favorite recruit since Yogi 4. MK- upperclassman, familiar with big ten 5. All American potential, NPOY potential, would love to see him RUN the floor every possession he's in!

I see what you´re saying. and agree

Give me guys who want to be here. Brooks had his chance. Opted for UK. I like our roster as it lies right now on paper.

Man, we keep getting good news like this everyday until the season starts...I'll have to add water and stir!

You may be right, but he was also starting for a bit last year before the back injury.

So much for a case of the Mondays....today rocks!

I´m guessing Geronimo heads back east, and Al ends up at like Georgia Tech or somewhere similar. Everybody else will be ready to run it back.

I'm just tired of reading negativity. My credentials? I'm a high school special ed teacher and assistant boys basketball coach. Been an IU fan for most of my 38 years. Unless anybody has ESP, there's no telling whether it will be a good or bad hire. We have no data. At least give it a chance. There's a guy in charge of all this that makes a lot more money than I ever will. I hope you're watching the presser like I am.

Some of y'all that are calling this a bad hire...what exactly are your credentials to deem this so? The guy has had the job less than 24 hours, and it's terrible? How can something that hasn't even taken place yet be so terrible? Give it a shot. Damn man, I hope some of you aren't this negative in real life. You'd be unbearable to be around. Let it take some time.

I love it, sort of. I mean, would you all have taken Matta only? Yes? I would have...we still got him in a ¨lesser"role. This could work

Sorry kids, I´ll be refreshing this topic and twitter until bedtime tonight....

It´s either him, Cem Dinc or Guy Marc-Michel

I´m likely in the minority here, and that´s okay with me...I think the longer this plays out...the bigger the surprise waiting on the end of the line...Dolson isn´t going to make a $10M buyout turn into someone small unless he´s played all of his hands. You don´t pony up that kind of cash without a plan in place...I guess I´m going to think it might be Brad until someone else is announced. I have been on this train for 2 weeks tomorrow...kind of lonely but not totally!

Just bringing my post up from yesterday...I still feel this way today.

gee I'll bite...who?

Imagine when he comes to Indiana and loses his first game...
