you were saying...?

I'm inclined to agree, though I'd put the IU job above UCLA at this point in time. Historically, sure you could argue that all of UCLA's championships trump Indiana's, but you could make that argument about everyone else and shove them at the top. What makes UCLA a great job is the championships and location (lots of hoopers in SoCal, not a lot of recruiting competition in the immediate area). However, UCLA boosters have not stepped up in a significant way to empower the basketball program. They can put together a solid squad, but they remain outside the top echelon of programs. And fan support has wavered in recent years. UCLA is still a very good job, and being in the Big Ten helps. But in terms of current fan and donor support, it is not quite in the same tier as Indiana.

I'd wager we've seen more than one iteration of Tyme on this board. Same goes for SDB. Those two love to interject themselves into every IUBB discussion and behave as if they are the preeminent authority on Indiana basketball. Even though both have gotten many things wrong in the past and just delete the old tweets and pretend it didn't happen. lol

I watched the YouTube version of this and all the WVU fans in the replies are still crying about tampering and how Tucker DeVries isn't really injured... even though these guys literally debunked those theories in the podcast lol

Of those, I do not think Mullins is realistic at this point. Would take something drastic, like Luke Murray getting hired away. Which is still plausible but unlikely.

Surely by now we have been able to narrow down Tyme's identity lol I had a theory for a while that he was Adam Howard, but he was still somewhat defending Woody even after Howard was fired. I've heard theories that it's Kenya. I'm not so sure it's someone that high profile, but it's definitely someone within the program.

Yeah I believe that's true. But the fact that they seemed to be checked out and uninterested in helping Indiana win down the stretch, even for their coach -- who everyone claims is beloved by his players -- tells me a lot about their character, in my opinion. Certainly Woodson is more to blame than anyone for how his tenure and how this season went. I'm not trying to shift blame on/off anyone here; there's plenty to go around. I'm just saying that individual character matters more than just stats and talent, and I'm uninterested in rooting for guys like that.

Oh my God we're still on this lol, I figured we'd discussed and moved on hahaha If DeVries doesn't work out (though I believe he will) I look forward to Bradposting with you all again in a few years. lmao

that last part lmao

Is it weird that I'm pining for Chester Frazier to come to Indiana? Feels wrong lol

Any word on what Frazier is doing? Seems like he's getting passed over for the WVU HC job.

That's the stupidest thing to me about this mentality. It's so ridiculously short-sighted. You only get ~4 years of eligibility and you wasted one doing nothing. Now one of your four years will earn you very little. Congratulations, you played yourself.

Not sure if I've posted this here before, but a good buddy of mine who lives in Bloomington had lunch at Buffalouie's a couple months back, in January I believe, and Myles Rice, Kanaan Carlyle, and Bryson Tucker there. He intentionally sat at a table within earshot of them (as any sane, rational Hoosier fan would do) and overheard them discussing all the backlash against Woody (this was after the Illinois game) and basically talking sh!t about him and the staff. And Carlyle said, verbatim, "I'm just here for the bag" and Rice and Tucker both nodded their heads and laughed. Get them out. All of them. Goode is the only (potential) returnee who showed any heart this season. He's the only one I'd want back too.

Everyone's reported Tucker DeVries in the portal as a formality. It's a foregone conclusion that he's joining his dad.

Hopefully just a bad stinger. Looked painful.
