How about like Dusty May this year. He choked away the regular season title but redeemed himself winning the Big Ten Tournament. It’s not an either or. And I didn’t say DDV has to win each every year. Just be in the hunt and plenty of accolades will come. And to be honest now that the conference is so big and schedules unbalanced, the conference tournament should take a bigger president on who the real champ is…see the ACC

Fully disagree. As a massive European soccer fan it’s about winning trophies. We have a chance for 3 a year. Big Ten regular season, BT Tournament, and the NCAA Tournament. We should be trying to win all 3 every year.

I heard Conwell asked about drop ceilings.

Maybe they are all Tyme

As a Michigan football fan. The issue isn’t with underclassmen or grad transfers.

Does anyone else think these burner accounts are tied to Hoosier Connect? They seem to be getting intel better than traditional sources. Could also be the communication issue the above link complained about.

Or was it his dad?

Could have more money for basketball at Nova as the majority of their profit sharing and NIL collective will go to basketball. Maryland that’s not happening even though their football is garbage.

That isn’t good enough imo. Sure some in the 20’s have won it. But we need to be top 10 in both.

2 roster. His son and Sisley

Maybe it was Murphy does Oats a solid and going out in good terms even though he is coming to IU. Or maybe he just did a good job and Oats was thanking him publicly

Yeah Duke is the real deal. Top offensive team in the country and 4th defensive efficiency. Florida is 2nd offensive and Auburn is 3rd. Both are also top 10 defensively. Moral of the story to me is that to really have a shot at a national title, DDV will need to get us to a top 10 level in both offense and defense. It’s also why I wasn’t a believer in the Zeller team that got a 1 seed. Great offensively but were around the same level defensively as bama’s def eff ranking this year. Quality team but not good enough.

This year wasn’t bad still top 30 kenpom def efficiency. But he has only 1 elite defensive year and the rest have been bad.

Bama dying by the 3 tonight. And their defense isn’t elite to keep it closer. Game is over imo.

If we are wing oriented, then I’m fine with that.

Not sure who he is. But the guy in the black jacket has IU on the back.

Usually I enjoy the first weekend and then the S16 can kinda suck bc of some previous upsets. I’m excited to see this elite 8 and final four from a quality standpoint.

If he is 8 or 9, then I don’t have an issue with it. I won’t get down on any player coming at this point. Once the final roster is set then maybe we can be critical. But the other names we’ve seen from burner accts sound good to me.

I’m only worried about our top 7-8 players for next year. Looking at the teams that played in the S16 they are playing 7-8 players. we will need to land a PG better than Enright to get where we want to go. I’m wanting a Dusty May level year 1. The resources are there. Build the team. Stay healthy.

I really like this hire. I liked the day it was announced and I like it more now. I believe he will do a great job and take us where we want to go. Maybe not year 1 but we will be back to being Indiana again over time. This is actually the first hire since Knight was fired that I’ve been excited about. Sampson is a good coach but didn’t want him due to violations. Obviously Davis was over his head. Crean I was skeptical. I didn’t get the Archie love a lot of people had in that search. I was arguing for other candidates throughout the cycle. Woodson nobody wanted. I gave them all a chance but they all proved to not be the guy.

Maybe not. Texas Tech has deep booster pockets. They just spent a lot on football for next season and they have funds for basketball too. If he leaves Texas Tech it won’t be for NIL reasons. Someone will have to give him an offer he can’t refuse.

I’d be ok with Conwell, DeVries. Tucker. As a 2,3,4. Get a good PG and C and let’s roll.

They were ranked lower just a month or so ago when I looked. So I didn’t pick them to win it all. But their def efficiency has climbed a lot since the last time I looked. So they have stepped up in that last of their game.

Great offensive coach no doubt. Very fun style to watch. I do question the defense at times, but they are up to top 29 def eff on Kenpom.

I think it’s a school by school basis at this point. The GM at Michigan isn’t over the football coach. But the GM will go on recruiting trips to go over all the NIL and financials with the player and family once the recruitment gets serious enough. The GM sets the NIL structure by position and works with the collectives to ensure the amount of funds will be available. Which then allows the head coach to know which players are realistic or not. It also lets them spend more on areas the HC’s system values more. Think OSU at WR and Michigan at RB.
