Actually, if you go to the proper thread, it was discussed. Nice try though.

We also have 2 other recruits he will be joining on his visit. One who is supposedly an IU lean. May be 33% chance going in, but probably 50-50 afterwards. Him moving his visit up 2 weeks to join these two is probably not by coincidence.

The Raiola kid is going to be fun to watch!

Reibe moving up his visit 2 weeks, joining BM and TS, seems like something might be brewing. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. lol

Interesting

Great news! GOD is great.

Would love to add Tiller to the group

How dare you use common sense.

Not sure how accurate it is, but Colorado is throwing around some cash. Sorry if its already been shared.

Wow

That is an apples and oranges comparison. These aforementioned coaches didn't have the luxury of NIL and Portal. Like I said previously, after year 2 or 3, you pretty much know the trajectory of your program. Here's hoping year 4 is a success.

Not sure if you're calling me asinine, but I actually agree. Didn't you just say that it's stupid to declare a coach a failure after 3 years. So people are stupid and asinine if they can't keep up with your own contradictions? In today's landscape, I don't think any of the coaches mentioned would have had the same leniency as they had then. CMW has everything he needs this year to be successful. Year 4. No excuses.

Out of curiosity, what's your criteria on how long to give a coach to prove himself. I've always thought at least give them the full 4 year recruiting cycle. But with how NIL and the portal are, you should have a pretty good idea if they are going to be successful in year 2 or 3.

Now all he has to prove is, can he win with all of those players who truly like him, and the ones he gets to the next level. This year will definitely answer everyone's questions. I personally believe this will be a top 15 team, who should compete for BIG and at least S16(minimum).

RJ Davis, Coleman Hawkins, and Hunter Dickinson seem like they've been in college for a decade. Really enjoyed the breakdown on MM. Hopefully his agility/quickness has improved enough to be a great 3 level scorer. He definitely showed signs of being able to, just wasn't quick enough, or confident enough to get to his spots sooner.

Me too

Coming from the guy who stalked everyone in the opposite thread! Classic

Honey, I'm 100% committed to this relationship. But, I am going to take these other 2 girls out on a date.

Who cares how the fans view the future. The Pacers have a good blend of veterans and young talent. A number of the teams you mentioned, have some of the oldest rosters in the league. Most of their older players are important role players, but Butler, Dame, Horford, and Lopez are key pieces whose better years are behind them. On the other hand, the Pacers have one of the youngest rosters, and none of their best players are over 30.(Turner?) So if fans have a "skewed" view of the future, maybe they're onto something.

Not a surprise
