  1. Didn’t one of the kids last year have a case that hinged on juco years counting or not? I can’t remember because all these cases run together for me at this point. He would command big money somewhere, so I’m sure his agent has looked into it, at least. Sam should have a pretty easy case. IU media guys crack me up. I read the article posted. Would’ve been too much to call Alexis or his agent for comment? See if he’s filed a case? When? Where? Status?
  2. Pipe dream, of course. He may be fine starting in the G-league, but you’d think he’d at least consider trying to get $2mil for another year in college. If Cuban or somebody was going to cough up the money in such a scenario, I would give the feelings of Darren Harris almost zero consideration. Yigi likely didn’t come here to fight for minutes with Alexis but that’s exactly what will happen if joins. They had near identical per 40 numbers last year, but Alexis was much more efficient, did it in a tougher conference, and didn’t get the benefit of consistent starters minutes until half way through the season.
  3. How do lamar’s nba roster prospects look? Can you imagine if he came back? Burton/Wilkerson is probably a top 10ish backcourt.
  4. I’m still holding out hope for the DDV experience, but honestly, IU getting the 3rd best coach out of Drake currently in the B1G would be so on brand.
  5. I might believe that if they didn’t leave a spot for Goode (whom we could have really used) open last year, him get denied and nobody do anything about it, and then the spot basically get wasted. I think maybe we might just get lucky here. I’d love to know where Alexis’s case stands, next hearing, if they’ll add him even if he’s in limbo, etc… The fact that none of that has been put out there makes me think everyone is in a similar mode to last year of “if it happens, it happens, and if it doesn’t…oh well.”
  6. I think I would like the announcers if I knew Spanish. Also, I’m assuming Bryce Lyndsey is some sort of deity over there given the way they yell his name. I’m glad the massacre of bad D3 teams is almost over.
  7. lol…I have seen this story pop up on twitter but didn’t realize that. You would think someone from the IU or speedway media depts would have caught that and put the brakes on this. Or maybe I’m just hopelessly out of touch with internet culture these days.
  8. Let’s get summer fan hype hoosier hysteria for a moment: 1) It’d be awesome if for once we got the 4* frosh who is a diamond in the rough difference maker 2) Is Sherrell gonna be that dude and play hard all year to match his physical talent. 3) I actually kind of like Burton laying back and being the distributor letting others shine. If that’s how he plays this season, it’ll be a ceiling raiser. Basically what I’m saying is…WE’RE BACK BABY!!!
  9. Just flipped the feed on and it’s another 50pt blowout. I think this tournament was a smart way to back door in summer practice for a new team and a free vacation for the coaches’ wives. If the agentina and brazil teams suck this bad, there’s little point in the games. Side note—if theybrought Alexis back for this, they must be trying to get him for a 5th year which would be great (obviously).
  10. I think we’ll do a lot of running guys off the 3 point line and let Yigi and Sherrel protect the rim.
  11. There’s really no point in trying to read the tea leaves on these games, I suppose. I find it (very) mildly interesting that Sisley didn’t start. I thought him starting the other game might be a nod to him clearly being our 6th man. Obviously the freshman are playing well but they must be practicing well to if they’re comfortable throwing one in the starting lineup.
  12. Definitely. But it would be hard not to be
  13. I can see it because it’s the Rose Bowl, but I never thought we’d come close to losing that game. For me I’d rank them as: National Championship game, B1G championship game, Peach Bowl (influenced by my presence), and a tie between the PSU and first Oregon game. Alabama probably goes in a group with the Iowa and Illinois game for me. The PSU was the most dramatic and an all-timer. The Oregon game numero uno because it’s the first time I think the world really had to set up and take notice as us a championship contender.
  14. Same. Dude was an elite safety. Rhodes scholar. And gave up the NFL to be a doctor or something. Wild Im guessing this new kid will be one of several elite QBs Cig gets.
  15. That makes sense. I guess I just assumed that with all the low jersey numbers it was team USA specific like how they do the jerseys in the Olympics. I read today that we have one less game because a country dropped out leaving our group stage with 3 instead of 4. Probably for the best with regards to injury given how competitive these things are. Argentina has actually won a gold medal in basketball so hopefully they are good and we play them.
