Nope didn't bother me at all since the players was making over $50,000 a year the whole time.

I remember playing more than cupcakes in the non conference. I remember playing UL, UC, UK, Missouri

Anthony Thompson finished second in tbe Heisman under Mallory. I can't believe anyone thinks how he handles himself on the side line sees a poised HC. How many other power 5 conference HC do you see acting lole him on tbe side line. I don't think I ever saw Saban run up to a player and head butt him with player having a helmet on.

A lot less bowl games back then and less Jan 1 games. When I was growing up there were 5 New Year day bowl games. Rose,Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta

I know this is what college sports is about today but it makes me sick to my stomach. It just seems so wrong to me that college sports is about the college that has the best NIL.

He is visiting this weekend and someone said it is graduation weekend on Bloomington. Hopefully some good weather with a lot of activity on campus

I just know the last few years watching the SEC and big 12 and the type of Ayers in those conferences. I then look at IU and the big ten and it is totally different game. I see those teams having long athletic wings and forward and don't see much of that here. We seem to be getting better in that category with Ware,Walker,Banks,Gunn and Newton. If we can get Mgbako that would get us to the point that we can compete athletically with those teams.

I also think Newton when healthy is really good as well

Be nice if our second five looks like this. Cupps Galloway Banks Walker Sparks

Have no idea why you would be down on Banks and two freshman that haven't even stepped foot on campus yet

I always thought with the last 3 spots we would go with 1 more big and 2 guard/wing players. Walker fit that so what would be the problem with him being a backup. Some act like we have 8 starting spots and everyone we sign will be a starter. We already have 3 starters on XJ, Reneau and Ware so all 3 scholarships won't be starters

I don't see a down side with bring in Walker. He will be a backup 4 and is athletic which will help on the defensive end.

So he isn't going to finish the semester out

I was hoping going back to 10

I read a week ago how UL had a really good chance with him. His main recruiter at Duke is now at UL. Also I hope we get the last visit

I truly hate it but have to accept it. For me a conference should be for teams in your region and should be able to play every team at home and the road.

Nobody said Walker would be a stud coming here but would fit a need as a backup 4. We have seen over the years of injuries at IU and you can't go into the season with 3 big guys on your roster

You can't go into the season with only 3 big men on the roster. You get 1 injury and there goes any depth. Most top teams have more than 3 big guys on their roster. Seems pretty simple to understand the logic of needing another 4 man

I assume he is being brought in to be a back 4 to Reneau. I always thought with the 3 remaining scholarships we would use 2 on wings or guards and 1 more big. We all know the history of injuries at IU and you can't go into the season with only 3 big guys.

Guys like the Hoosier Hysterics guys are creepy when they are following teenagers. I think they are part of the reason the kid Fears stop looking at IU

But those guys still need to be in the portal by May 11th to be able to play this season

I wish our fans would stop doing things like this

Also him going to Montverde shows he is willing to leave the state of Texas

Never said it was the only reason but you need to get your head out of the sand if you don't think it is part of the problem.

Alright close Reneau 13.6 Ware 12.7 Sparks 7.1 Total 33.4 My main point was that I feel if we are more balanced team and up grade the 2-4 positions we can still have a really good season. We still need to get some players in at the 2 and the 3 for that to come true.
