Would we rather have him or Love?

Too bad Sampson couldn’t behave himself. There’s a lot to like about his coaching.

Yep - that’s the one. Looked on YouTube for a clip of that but couldn’t find it.

Remember when we were in Maui in 2015 and they had the coaches shooting on the portable goal?

In my opinion, what separates everyone this time of year is great guards. Athletic playmakers. Look at the 4 teams left. All have guys who can score the ball and make plays. Who did we really have that could do that?

Well played, sir!!

A post like this is why a puke emoji is needed. ;)

It’s amazing just how much college basketball has changed in the last couple of years. Allowing kids to transfer immediately without restrictions has essentially created a free agent market. Good to hear we have good connections on this one. I’ve got to believe reputation (development of guys to the next level) and connections are going to be vital as the landscape around CBB continues to evolve.

What do you think our chances are with Love - or is it too early to tell?

Hey, if you want to tell me “please, let’s not let the discussion in this thread go off the rails”, I’m fine with that. But there’s absolutely NO REASON to be a jerk about it. And, no, this is my last post on the subject in this thread; I don’t want to deliberately derail a topic. Just as I would never want to deliberately do/say something offensive to someone - especially over a message board discussion.

My intent wasn’t that we SHOULD go after the guy. I agree Ball State (or that level) is a better fit for him . I was only trying to start a conversation about HOW we should develop a roster - especially when it comes to utilizing the last scholarship. I was trying to get a feel from the board on IF we should fill those spots from the portal OR if we should look to develop guys in-house. This is a message board. Isn’t it a place to discuss how we feel about how we operate as a program?

I only put his name out after hearing it mentioned on here. No, I really DON’T think that he’d be someone our staff would/should pursue. Just was trying to get a feel from the board on how many would want to go the route of “developing” a guy with the last scholarship - typically a guy that’s not going to play much. You do realize speculate means “form a theory or conjecture about a subject without firm evidence”, right? I have NO idea if the staff would even entertain the thought of looking a the kid. But a discussion on it isn’t allowed? Geez . . .

Agreed. One thing this tournament should have convinced everyone of: You need athletic playmakers. With the group I mentioned previously, you have an adequate amount of post/power forwards that with the right personnel could help create some 4-out lineups that would be tough matchups for the opposition.

Let’s speculate . . . We convince Love, Ware, and Ledlum to become Hoosiers. Assuming no one else leaves, with Sparks already on board that’s 4 of the five spots filled. Do you: 1) Try to get another combo guard/wing? 2) Bring in Doughty from Ben Davis?

Why isn’t there a pissed-off emoji?!?

Out of Ware, Shedrick, or Ledlum who would the staff prioritize the most?

Sorry - saw this after I had posted. #Done

I don’t doubt racism exists, same as I can’t tell 100% sure it WAS racist. What I CAN tell you is that every time something happens, when a person of color is involved it doesn’t automatically mean it was intentional racism. This very easily could be a idiot Purdue fan trying to dog on an IU player, period. All because someone is a tactless idiot doesn’t necessarily make them a racist.

What’s sad is that when something like this is said the first reaction of so many is that it IS racist.

Indiana 74 Fighting Frans 71

A lot depends on if JHS can have an impact. IF he can (and I believe he WILL), this becomes a classic in the long history of two elite programs. Indiana 77 Kansas 76 JHS hits a trey from the right wing at the buzzer in an epic comeback win.

I’m not disagreeing either, but it’s BS to not call it

Todd is PISSED at the no call

It’s afoul doesn’t matter when it is in the game.

Without question
