Wouldn’t be a bad addition at all depending on his role. Sure TTU wanted him as their 6th man again, he was good for them.

Would definitely expect us to get involved. His HS coach Luke Barnwell however just left Texas Tech to take an assistant job at Iowa. He was recruited over in the portal this offseason. I think he’s more of a 6 man at this level but there’s definitely playing time to sell.

Iowa might be tough to beat here

lol, absolutely why I never want to hear why the fan base is the lifeblood of the program again.

Not really. Nebraska fans decided Bo Pelini winning 9 games and going to the Holiday Bowl every year wasn’t enough. Then decided Mike Riley winning 7 games wasn’t enough. Finally just went .500 for the first time in nearly a decade. They’re a delusional bunch. But so are we.

Didn’t you boycott games this past season and root for the team to lose the better part of two years??? Yeah this fanbase is a real strong attribute…clearly.

Todd Golden went 16-17 his first year at Florida as did Dan Hurley. You would lose your **** if DeVries did that next year. That’s my point.

Remind them of Hurley’s track record through 4 years (zero tourney wins). Perhaps Painter? We’re our own demise and will never realize it. The fact we compare ourselves to a school like Florida in the present day is wild…what do you think Florida thinks of IU?

Glad @Jeff Flabjohns formerly known as Doctor P got his laughs in. He’s part of the problem lol.

And Louisville coming off a national title. His show-cause had a lot to do with that. Dude can recruit with the best of them.

Neither were coming

Why? This fanbase turned on a coach who made the tournament his first 2 years after missing it 5 straight years. Who did you think IU was going to hire?

Coach CC sought out IU because they had the easiest schedule in the county with absolutely no expectations. CC could have won 6 games and he would have been extended. You go .500 at IU year one in basketball and you get a 2k fire thread on message boards. Apples to Oranges

IU has been a middle of the pack team since your birth. Gen Z’ers like yourself who have never seen IU elite who demand blue blood results doesn’t help.

IU is just another program to 99.5% of prospective high school recruits and portal entrants. Been that way for nearly two decades.

Same reason why Nebraska football hasn’t been relevant in decades. -impossible to replace legendary coach -absurd/delusional fan expectations -multiple programs have simply closed the gap if not entirely passed us up

Your’re rambling and being incoherent.

Enright has shown 1000x what Cupps has shown on a collegiate basketball court. stop it

IU is a mid-tier program in a 2nd rate conference. Like it or not, that’s the perception of IU basketball these days. If only you were born in the 60’s or 70’s…

The only thing IU has right now is money…but so do 15-20 other schools. When you haven’t been relevant in 30 years but still demand blue blood results, you’re expectations are never going to jive with reality.

You give him 3-4 years of support, he’ll be really good. IU fans see $10 mil roster and expect a national Title. Doesn’t work that way. Lose the fan base….you’re toast.

IU is just another program these days. Said it for a year and you guys tried to laugh me off this board. Same was said about Louisville this past offseason. Win this year and the rest will play out…that is unless you try to run coach out after a year. IU fans their own worst enemy.

Here’s the deal with DeVries…you give him 3-4 years to establish a culture and build a rosters there’s a good chance you never look back. Reality is that IU fans have little patience (especially in today’s climate) and immediate results are not only expected but demanded. DeVries has two years tops to show something or he’ll be the next casualty. It is what it is. Hope he kills it this year…I’m rooting hard am all-in

Yeah…thumbed their noses at a rule that violates the Sherman Act. I don’t view someone looking to gain a competitive advantage in sports as morally corrupt. To each their own however.

It’s pretty crazy to continue to defend the rules set forth by an organization whose entire model for over a century was ruled to be in violation of anti-trust laws by the highest court in the land.
