Cupps is as athletic RIGHT NOW as Smith - without the benefit of summer workouts at IU. IMO he’ll be better than Smith, but maybe because of IU’s situation not have the same numbers/minutes.

I think both players are going to surprise a lot of people. Newton had the meniscus surgery, but he should be 100% by the time he gets to IU. Gabe isn’t the athlete Newton is, but he’s very polished. If you could clone both into one player you’d really have something. Both are going to be solid pieces next year and IMO stars during their time as a Hoosier.

Ok, didn’t know if you knew anything more. Thanks.

Where has that been reported? On a message board post, or on his Twitter/IG etc?

Is Knecht dead? Haven’t heard anything about him.

Hey - don’t you dampen our enthusiasm!!

Do we truly know anything about Knecht? @Chris007 have you heard anything?

Except it’s NOT

I can imagine if social media/cell phones existed when some of us were in school - we’d be pariahs . . .

Thanks. As always, appreciate your feedback and tidbits. Please advise if/when a Dalton sighting might occur. lol

You, sir, live in a fantasy world. There is NO SUCH THING as a pure, totally innocent and ethical program within college basketball. You can pontificate all you want and it’s only going to make you look silly. Has Coach Ya deliberately tried to do kids dirty? If your answer is no, then there’s really nothing for you to be b*tching about.

@Chris007 - have you heard anything about a possible OV?

And the player ought to be WORTH the money as well.

Lol Any hints??

We’ll see. Hearing anything about a visit from Knecht?

Care to share who?

Fixed that for you. Last scholarship could be a suicide squeeze. lol

Maybe, maybe not. if he’s looking for the best opportunity to prepare him for the next level, then he can make a lot more money there than what he will get in NIL.

If we can only get a visit, Btown will sell itself

@Chris007 are we out on Knecht, or still trying to get a visit?

Agreed. As I had said earlier, that was the only time I had seen him. Was my perception tainted because he was a Purdue commit? Possibly. He’s an incredible talent, though. Serious weight training and kid will be playing in the NBA someday.

I was at that game, sitting next to the tunnel 2-3 rows up from the floor. I never noticed him doing anything during the 1st half. Early in the 3rd something happened that he got called for the T. Was something said to him by someone from BD that he reacted to, then his reaction was what he got called for? And (if) the refs didn’t hear something else and never called something on BD, was that why he acted the way he did going to the bench? I don’t know. Others will have to comment on whether it is an issue or a one-time thing. But without question he’s a talented player. .

Yeah. Then someone (I think an IU fan) said “Don’t you think you have to get out of the 1st round?”
