AH1971 said "I don't owe you s*** l ol ." Lololol, man, that got me over the hump. Lol

I don't owe you s*** lol.  Whoooweee!!! I haven't laughed this hard in quite some time. These are the moments I cherish from you crazy ba57ards. I have had some health issues lately and this really cheared me up. Thank you

Lolololol There is a thesis to be written on ptsd of a fanbase from what we've been through. 54 years of built to be champions to champions to "the king has lost his mind" to mass self-destruction, followed by the music from the Benny Hill show. For atleast 15 years Lololol But still we hold on. Like fn cats on a curtain. Lololol

DD had his ideal staff in mind for a while, and I think he'll get it. Norton would be a little like Woody promoting Walsh.

I think there's an art form to filling roster spots 10-13. Painter has it down to a science. So much he can still utilize the redshirt. That's extreme player development and it would be great to have the Nover, Leary, Odle, Lindemann's filling those spots again.

Being nervous right now would be overreacting. It did occur to me that Michigan, Louisville and Kentucky had all been to final 4s this century and we have not. But the 1st year rebuild bar is set at that level. None of those schools signed a player before the second week of April last year so again no worries. Everyone needs to look at on3s value tags on some of these guys though. On3 proved to be pretty accurate last year. The last two assistants should be official next week then we'll really get rolling. I look for them to bring some combination of 4 or 5 guys and then we'll land a couple of studs and some filler. Hopefully we have retainable talent from this year's portal. I'm not at all worried about DDs ability to compete as a coach.

I'm not yet going to agree with you, but let's put a pin in it for now. I still enjoyed your post.

Kelsey has a proven product in a weak conference to win these battles in. I need to look at who his staff is. Pulling that kid out of Alabama was miraculous. Is he going to land Nate Ament too?

Lassina Traore (Xavier) in the portal. Go get him Drew Two consecutive years he's averaged a double-double. Not a a perimeter big.

I'm not sure, but I thought I read it was his mom that wasn't well. My mother would tell me "son if you turn down a million more dollars to be 1000 miles closer to me ill slap the 5h7t out of you." I'm trying to wrap my mind around a defense influenced by Achoki Moikobu and an offense by Preston Murphy with Dix, DeVries and potentially Goode on the floor in any combination.

Dix getting a bag,,,,,,,,I can't help it,,,,,that makes me laugh.

There was early chatter about Creighton for that reason. Then the school visits started popping up and he's been quite a few places. I wish we could've gotten some traction with Isaac McNeely. Perhaps with Conwell going to Louisville that might change.

Oh the great divide, it will be there until us old folks are in the dirt. I'm not sure what the line is, probably 50yo. I would love to live long enough to see IU have another 1971-94 experience and be able to have good-hearted banter about the 2 eras. I'm sure your side has been sick of "how great it was then" for a long time. Unfortunately, we have had to live through this comedy of errors during a time when younger fans just want to be fans of their school. I hope your time is starting now, I look forward to the debates if so. Try not to be disrespectful sh7ts. I'll try not to be an old condescending fk.

To me it looks like Matt Painter is managing a salary cap.

You're expectations should be higher. 26-9 is roughly the average between Pope, Kelsey and May in their first year. Why should DD not be expected to deliver that? Didn't DD fall into the "with our resources" category? Lol. I hate the state of the program. 25 years of mismanagement. I think it's probably time for my old a55 to just be a basketball fan.

26-9 4th in the conference , semi-finals of the btt Sweet 16 Top 10 portal class Those expectations are a rough average of what Pope, Kelsey, and May did last year. Probably not far from what he would've done with Tucker healthy. So this year a high payroll version of the identity we can expect the next 6 years. We need 8 studs in their roles. We have 1. We need 5 players that are a combination of low level maybes and promising hs players. We have 1. I'm sure there are a lot of things going on and I'm not panicked. We're going to need to make 5 people millionaires.

Can he get them to loosen up academically? Caleb Love and Terrence Shannon both got stopped at the gate. UNC hasn't been known as a bastion of athletic scholarship.

I'm hoping for Michigan. Teamed up with Eliot Cadeau I want to see if Dusty really is a miracle worker. Reneau had the empties stats in the history of the program.

You guys should meet up in an alley.

Magnus Pelkowski too.

This is our pg.

Anyone look into the background of Achoki Moikobu? Defensive chops and used to be the coach at Sunrise Christian Prep.

Adams earned Top 50 Most Impactful Mid Major Assistants distinction from Silver Waves Media in both 2020 and 2022, and was also named one of the top five assistant coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference during in 2020. He worked for Alford before that. I would say he is much more of talent acquisition add than an x/o guy.
