Pre-Covid I would have agreed with you, post-Covid and with how many times the NCAA has lost in court, I wouldn’t be so sure. The NCAA already has extending eligibility from 4 years to 5 years as standard procedure on the table as is. Assuming Goode plays the entire season this year, he will have finished his career playing only 3 1/3 seasons. In a world where we’ve seen the NCAA grant full 6th, 7th, and in an extreme case, a 9th season to a Miami football player, the NCAA granting a 5th season to Goode under his specific circumstance doesn’t seem too far-fetched at all. In fact, it seems probable, especially if he puts up a decent fight.

A class of Tiller, Brown, and Sisley would be a helluva class on paper yet would still feel underwhelming given misses to Mullins and Haralson. That being said, the days of putting all your chips in on high school recruits are long gone. Very real chance a portal player emerges and has a bigger impact than Haralson/Mullins in the 1-2 years they’re in school. Just the new nature of the game.

Murray was named the offensive coordinator at UConn just prior to the start of the 22-23 season and had previously worked for Hurley at Wagner and Rhode Island. Mack/Murray were very successful at Xavier prior to Louisville and had KenPom ORtg of 15, 18, 29, and 8. Murray's primary role at Louisville was recruiting coordinator yet Louisville still had top 30 KenPom offenses during Murray/Mack first two years there before the wheels came off in year three because of off the court issues

Tyme isn't wrong about Murray. UConn's rise directly coincides with Murray being hired to the staff. Hurley's seat was getting very warm entering year 5 and the rest is history.

Sheppard, Dillingham, and Reeves all not playing 30+ mpg together is criminal.

What are you talking about…

Because he made “promises” to Edwards and Wagner. Sheppard and Dillingham went 3rd and 8th in the draft and had 6 combined starts between them. This is why I will never feel bad about missing out on a 5* with a list of demands.

Anybody have an update on Jailin Walker? Bye week couldn't have come at a better time.

See ya!

They’ll get a Ballo/Ware impact transfer from the portal. Not fair to put that burden on Reibe, who isn’t close to a one and done. Plenty skilled but needs two years to physically mature.

IU will almost assuredly pursue a portal big regardless of what Reibe decides to do.

If Rice and/or Carlyle are gone (to the pros) it’s because each had an exceptional year and IU had a great season because of it. Makes IU an even more attractive portal destination than it already is.

Grand scheme of things…no. Stinks because Woody really wanted him and invested a lot of personal time.

I know your thoughts on Sisley. I like Sisley. Haralson committing to ND has NOTHING to do with Sisley.

Can’t imagine ND has a big NIL bb budget to begin with and what NIL they are paying ( Burton) is probably available once JH hits campus

Truth is what? He picked ND. The sun will come up tomorrow I promise. I’ll gladly roll with a recruiting class of Mullins/Sisley/Reibe on top of our returnees. Will be another highly ranked team to start the 25 season.

No, it’s obvious you sat on your hands waiting to b****. It’s par for the course with you.

Doubtful unless Shrews gets hired elsewhere, but this is the precise reason he’s going to Notre Dame, to be the BMOC from day 1 with little resistance.

Saw it plenty of times with Knight too. Sun always came up the next day.

Make sure to bring the same energy when Mullins and Reibe commit. Missed you during Sisley’s commitment.

How does that help him long term? Haralson is no doubt a piece, and a big one at that, but he’s a rental and needs help around him.

And is Shrews really about to let what should be a very good 4 year player walk for a year of Haralson?

Notre Dame won’t outbid IU for Haralson.
