I really don’t think he follows Miller to Texas could be wrong He went to USF played as a freshman wasnt bad had some bright moments , then leaves Tampa to go to Terre Haute? lol lights it up then goes to Xavier just 2.5 hours away from Indy ? Seems like the dude want to stay relatively close to home

https://x.com/iuanon1976/status/1905645626462765385?s=46&t=wvB5Ust96aXw3uINU-fkXw get it done D-Rock !!!!!

He didn’t have 0 interest . The system was a concern but the bigger issue was IU (mainly Coach Ya) prioritizing Carlyle from the get go.

Well Kory Barnett won’t be one , just got hired as HC by Oral Roberts .

Awful lot of interest for a “backup/role” player hmmmmmm surely there is a transfer 6’6 215 portal guard from northwestern central tech A&M state who averaged 52ppg , 23.3 ast to .000000001 TOs that we should be getting after right ?

YES !!!!!! LFG !!!!!! Bring this man home !!!!

Not Enough shot makers or rebounding for HP. They are already in panic mode if it gets to more than 12 before halftime its over.

Braden Smith feeling the need to stare down the HP crowd and thump his chest after every made shot.......... come on homie you are the Big Ten player of the year and first team All American dude your playing a 13 seed .

Again I think its about the pieces you put around Enright. I get it , its been difficult watching Purdue have Smith for the last 3 years and us not really having a true scoring PG since Yogi but again we probably already have our leading scorer with Tucker. to compete at Big ten Level we really are in need of an athletic scoring wing at the 3. Dix would fit that or a Jaden Akins / AJ Storr at Wisconsin type of player. pair that with a knock down 3 pt shooter at 2 and were rolling Enright would be a solid starting PG IMO . Experienced, takes care of the basketball, and can play defense cutting off straight line drives and drawing charges

For sure , but my info doesn't come from ISU , IU , or national side of things. Like I said I'm no insider just happen to know a little more in this particular situation randomly. But really again you can put two and two together about who pushed so hard for IU to sign guys like Rice and Carlyle over Mid-west/ Indiana connected guys when you look at assistants where they are from then look at where guys Rice and Carlyle are from . It shouldn't be too shocking

He always was a little concerned about the noise but it was only when IU heavily emphasized Carlyle he said no thanks. Famous coach "Ya" and in southern connections that has produced SO much southern talent the last 3 years ......... I don't pretend to be an insider but that's on piece of info I know for sure and not from peegs

Carlyle going back with them ? One can only hope lol DWS

Depends on what you put around him . We will have Tucker a high volume shooter / scored . Add a scoring post big / with a decent scoring wing and lights out shooting 2 guard then you don’t need anything more than 8-9 ppg and 7 ast out of a starting PG. I think of like what Tony Perkins was for Iowa with the Murray / Garza teams .

Meet IUBB new PG . Trilly says he thinks 99 percent chance he end up reunited with DeVries at IU .

Providence F - Bryce Hopkins is in the portal will get a 5th year only played 3 games but was averaging 17.0 ppg. (has Do Not contact tag)

No Dolson just mentioned that him and Harper watched DeVries twice the last 3 years once in the 2nd half vs Miami on the tourney before IU played Kent State and once in the Bahamas before IU Played. There is wild WVU fan conspiracy's that IUs wanted him since Atlantis and shortly after This son shut it down for the year and it was like 2 days later Woodson news broke. Son and Dad both knew they would get better pay days at IU

Saw on X that Woodson is at the press conference , THAT shocks me. Dude wouldn't even talk to Don Fischer the last month of the season. Dolson must have told he has to if he wants PAID LOL

Yeah but I think after there 3rd coaching search in 21 months they may go the successful coach protégé route and hire Jerrod Calhoun from Utah State. He was on Huggins staff at UC as a student assistant and then as an assistant coach at WVU for 5 years. BUT I could also see them worrying about UC opening up next year if Wes Miller gets canned and he dips after a year like DeVries. So they may try to make him committ to a massive buy out they know UC can't afford so maybe Calhoun stays put for another year. There situation is WILD

I appreciate the hell out of you guys man as a reformed peegs guy it made the last couple of weeks so much more fun to monitor and think about the idea of a someone like a Stevens who could potential take this program immediately back into he stratosphere nationally. Also helped this teacher make it through the last couple of days of school before spring break which can be maddening ! haha It definitely started to wear though I'm glad it came to an end when it did would love to know in some more details things that happened BUT understand if you don't want to/ can't share. ultimately I have no idea where the ceiling is with someone like DeVries I don't think anyone can claim too , but I do have a feeling and a WAY better one than I did with Archie or Woodson that we have solidly raised the floor of the program. Be interesting to see where we goes in terms of assistants that could play a big factor. Does Kory come with him knowing this is there any sort of issue there? Does he bring back Fife? Does he get Michael Lewis to leave BSU and come be a top assistant? I just cant see him bring Ostrom or Frazier with him and he knows he needs Indiana grassroots ties. Portal will also kick into full swing should be fun to discuss !

Thought I saw something that he was in a Goode situation where we has hurt after about 8-9 games one year and is seeking a medical hardship wavier. Might be a long shot but he had a great year for WVU, would love to see him the candy stripes for a year

He could also pop over to Southport and watch Attucks and wrap up Briscoe since he de-committed from Iowa

Also I'd imagine we will be at the HS basketball State Finals, but if he wanted to see what what basketball means in the state he would drop by New Castle for the the 4A South Semi State Saturday. Terre Haute North vs LN - 10AM Jeffersonville vs Mt. Vernon - 12PM

He also won't call our best player by the wrong name, he would realize if one of his assistants played for IU and was on a national title runner -up team, and will actually live in or around Bloomington year round and not keep his house in Georgia to spend most of the off season. LOL

Also as it pertains to Javon Small , he posted a lot of crying laughing face emojis on this social media right as the news was announced that DD was hired by IU . Doesn’t seem to be a fan of the decision. Maybe if he takes some time let’s it sink in and realize the bigger check he would get he will want to head home to the Hoosier state
