Which Current Players Would Have Thrived Under RMK?
realTomCrean replied to Stuhoo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Robert Johnson and Trey Galloway are the two players in recent history in my opinion would have thrived the most under RMK -

Mgbako Arrested, Paying Small Fine for Misdemeanor
realTomCrean replied to DoctorP's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Great take. 18, $, and everyone knows who you are. I couldn’t imagine dealing with that at 18, I support the law and officers but reading the statement, breaking his window seems a little much. Not very surprising of college town cops in my experiences with them. Can be a very good learning moment for the young man regardless and I’m sure Coach Woodson & Staff are addressing it properly - Woodson has repeatedly addressed turning his players into successful men. Maybe he takes MM’s keys and puts them in the lock box next to X’s for the year. I can’t see over two games suspension, care to speculate what you think reasonable punishment will be? -

Every fresh 18 year old millionaire is bound to make a mistake. Whatever doesn’t matter as long as it is learnt from. Go Hoosiers -
Oh man sorry to hear about your back. Thank you for your service and sacrifice

Pew pew pew. Are you still active? 101st got 130k new XM7 Rifles to replace M4 and XM250 to replace M249. Check out the specs on the weapons it’s honestly insane. Switching from 5.56 to 6.8mm - easier for penetrating armor hint hint

That’s been his strength in his IU tenure. No doom and gloom here. 3* kids were passing on IU a few years ago under Archie -

Agree his seat is getting warmer. This year is sort-of make or break for him from the outside POV. -

Thanks to IUBB staff and Transfer Portal losing on a great player like this stings less for a common fan like myself. Look at the talent they've accumulated while playing with one arm behind their back for the last 2 years + with relationships being non-existent when they first came in. I'm sure Boogie will be great in CBB and hopefully for that young man he will go onto the NBA and make himself and his family generational wealth. Indiana will be fine, wait until the Spring - we have several highly talented players tentatively coming back for next year and a heck of a recruit in Mcneeley coming in. Being in the top 3 for such a high-profile player spells good things for future Indiana recruits as the staff is obviously selling a good pitch to be at Indiana. We also discount the prowess nationally of Cupps in some circles, as a sophomore who knows what he is or is not capable of, but I do remember being ecstatic when he committed. Cupps, Banks, Galloway (?), Reneau (?), Gunn, Mcneeley, Newton, Sparks - That's more talent than every single Archie IU team + Woodson/Staff can flat out coach basketball. What makes this hurt for me was seeing so many guys who I know have some sort of connection to the program saying it was a done deal days ago and mentally preparing for it to be reality. I don't blame those who tip off with information they receive, nor do I challenge that they're blowing smoke for internet attention, teenagers are teenagers, and a ton of $/benefits get thrown their way meaning there is no way to know for a guarantee until they commit. The last thing is remember that Woodson said that he wanted to get old and stay old several years back. Of course you need one and done players but I agree with him that you need some 22-23yr old players playing significant minutes to compete at the highest levels. This could be a blessing in disguise, all about the framework of your mind. Hope everyone has a GREAT Friday and for those of you attending HH I hope you have a great time! Best wishes, GO HOOSIERS -

Right before Hoosier Hysteria! What a savage move -
Served as an Intelligence Analyst before being medically retired. Great job, good info, learn how to discern information and “think for myself”. Admittedly had great officers as a young private that prepared me and fast tracked me to Sergeant. Regarding the above posts about BCT - personally I loved it. Airborne was great getting some freedom back after a year in training (BCT/AIT). Ranger Selection was hell on earth in Ft Benning July-September. Currently work (Federal worker) at the Air Force Academy designing wargames based on forecasting future (potential) conflicts. We have 3 “fake news” channels we create in house, which being an Intel guy set me up for. The 3 channels are assigned to Russia, China, and US news. About half of the news is completely and obviously made up with “real” news sprinkled in from time to time for cadets to factor into their decisions. https://www.usafa.edu/research/research-centers/strategy-and-warfare-center-swc/multi-domain-lab-mdl/

Great point. NIL cash, leased new vehicles, and I’m sure much more included at huge programs. Much more important imo for programs to be known as trustworthy for what they say with PT and income + on court success, play style, and relationships. NIL is awesome for the players
