TTT

Spoken like a true coach who doesn’t have a great QB because a great QB begins with a great OL (at least a very good one). Par year after year.

IU football shooting traditional par trying to battle out of last in the east (and not a lot different if it was west. It is what it is)

College women basketball needs some preferential treatment and promotion. Besides competing with big time major college and pro sports on men’s side I am so tired and really never hardly ever watch what I call sports junk that somehow gets aired on major networks that college women basketball should be getting more promotion and preferential treatment to be aired on major tv channels (CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC along with other channels including secondary channels). IU Ladies must REBOUND the basketball to have success/win against Tennessee.

Flight Cancellations, the power grid, lack of workers, fuel costs and shortages and all that pollution doesn’t sound very green, and the weather. (though major college programs fly on their own baby Air Force One planes).

The intriguing pride of the Midwest vs the west coast vs the east coast vs the south vs independents for all the bragging rights. No mention of STUDENT ATHLETES. On the road again like overland highway truck drivers. Virtual classes on the road and then they can hand out virtual degrees. This to go along with NIL. Student athletes. NO. And geographical pride is in the review mirror. Maybe, the whole country can just be one athletic league and then start all over again breaking out into geographical leagues as before like in the early 1900s. The circle of life

Yarden Garzon listed @ 6’3” on roster uhm. Kinda interesting in a good way.

Ladies basketball program knocking on the door with another step or 2 upwards and sustain it throughout T. Moren era and transition it into next coaching era. IU men’s basketball was elite 25 years ago and is a has been with some success here and there under B.K.Davis and T.C...Currently, not even close. Arguably, an average to little above average program….but agree 100% time will be true definer as sustainability has to continue in a coaching era and transition into the future coaching era/s.

What is definition of elite; characteristics and qualifications for elite program?

How good will this one be for IU? Seems to carry some swagger, competitive, dedicated, and works hard to get better.

Lol. Covid not even mentioned…not good but GREAT FOR HER.

Expecting big things from Parrish and will be a starter. Love Chloe M-M her play, posts on media and her representative of IU Ladies basketball program. This leads to what could be one of the country’s top 6th lady. Chloe will be a top utility player because of versatility to play multiple positions and has ability to come in for 4 of 5 starters thus giving her many playing minutes. If she buys into this role it could give her much confidence. Last year Chloe played very well in some big games in different situations. I also seen get a little passive at times as well though she plays smooth and play should ramp up with experience and a year older. Conclusion: Chloe will be an excellent utility player in 4 of 5 positions on the floor and depending on game situations etc could be a starter when/if called into that role.

N. C-H was a barrel of fun to watch and congratulations to her. What a great example of IU Ladies basketball program. Plus, IU player/s getting post grad professional contracts as IU Ladies basketball program continues to develop upward. Scalia 5’10” some size will learn to play defense and comes in with advanced scoring game.

Went with well rounded highly qualified experience with success. (point guard, defense, coaching different positions and enough experience to be a head coach). Great for make up of 2022-2023 Ladies to bring and gel the talent together in their respective roles. Great hire.

I assume T.Moren and staff will have Scalia playing great defense along with her offensive game and Scalia probably has the right attitude to do it. Yes, this team seems to have a lot of help coming from everywhere (if it stays healthy). The secret will be putting it all together.

Depth (as long as team stays healthy): That’s why Parrish and Garzon will have to be ready and buy in defensively…Parrish can put up some points. Renewed player.

Scalia is different but some of the shots she makes has some of the amazement of Clark at Iowa.

Thinking goes up to 11 or 12 points and 7 rebounds per game for Geary on this IU Ladies team.

Geary is also an older experienced solid player who gets the opportunity to play with a lot of talent around her that she never had before. McNeil can just be as important as anyone as utility player on wing, guard or even maybe inside as needed. And then there’s Brown behind Holmes.

IU women basketball midgets lol for top 20 team. However, a positive is flexible to match up. There could be 6 starters (Geary needs to be in mix). Happiness is going to depend on how much Geary, Yarden Garzon, Scalia, and Parrish buys in defensively. Holmes, McNeil, Berger know defense expectations. Without Geary playing significant role IU will be to short. It will be interesting to watch the learning curve for this team to gel. Possibilities and flexibility.

Recognizing the significance of Candy Stripes

Will Cahill become a member of IU coaching staff? Or Buss (though Buss is in Wisky so situation and timing may not work out unless it could work out).

5’8” … It’s good to see IU ladies basketball most recently getting some guards with size 6’0” and 6’1” not that there is not a place for a 5’8” guard if good enough.

Typical T. Moren type recruit hardworking and has the term defense in her vocabulary. I notice it is hard to find star ratings on some of the women side especially espn though espn may copy from other systems. So, how high level recruit are some of those girls coming to IU?…. They appear to be pretty high level as players with much upside.

Julianna LaMendola 2023 6’1” gauard/wing all in for IU women basketball program…committed. Any thoughts She looks very competitive and skilled.
