If you're going to leave IU, you might as well party your a$$ off this weekend. 

Lol true. Hopefully not Green him putting up shots last Friday shows me a lot. We need his shooting next year

Yeah, I don't think that's really true. It's about fit, playing time, etc. Ryan Taylor picked Northwestern last year. Mooney and Tariq Owens picked Texas Tech. I realize Tech was coming off an Elite 8, but they had lost a ton and were projected 7th or worse in the Big 12.

Imagine the year when IU whens it all. Little 5 will be crazy. 

I was a student during the 2002 run. It was spring break in PCB during the first weekend of the tourney, then the sweet 16/elite 8 the next weekend, then final four weekend (was lucky enough to get my name drawn in the lottery for 2 tickets so my roommate and I drove down to ATL), then little 5 week/weekend after that. It was an amazing/thrilling/exhausting roller coaster month that I'll never forget. No clue what my grades ended up being that semester....

I thought Spring was a time of renewed hope, a glorious rebirth after months of doldrums. Guess I was wrong. It’s gotta take a lot of effort to find the negative in everything. Now where did I put that Prozac?

That's what college is all about! As long as you eventually got that degree!

Surprising comment coming from you. I've never seen you so pessimistic!

Top Grad Transfers are going to think they will be the missing piece to make a program win just like most 5 stars. There is a reason why top 10 grad transfers in 2018 went to schools like St Louis, western Kentucky, Marquette, Xavier,Northwestern. 3 of those schools missed the tourney. One had to win their conference tourney to get in and the other team was a top 15 team most the year the faded down the stretch and got blasted in the 1st round of the tourney.

We need to give this man a lifetime contract like Coach Cal got.  He is a posting encyclopedia of great information.

I wouldn't think that would have an effect. I saw Clifton walking to class a few days after he "transferred". I don't think reasonable players drop out of school on announcement day.

I am sure they finish the semester (at least most of them)... however I bet there are a few perks to being an IU Basketball player when it comes to parties.... even more so than "former IU basketball player".

I'm sure there are but I can't imagine anyone not being able to find enough parties and enough willing "hostesses" at little 5.

Anyway, it could be perfectly accurate and we will hear of more transfers next week

And yet Northwestern got Ryan Taylor!!! Its a miracle.

I don't see Windham playing meaningful minutes in 2019-2020. As pointed out, he is not physically ready and frankly he is not quick enough for the level of competition IU plays. If Windham isn't going to play next year, then why not save the scholarship for better guard prospects in the 2020 class? The enthusiasm for Windham is what often happens after a disappointing season when fans and sometimes coaches start grasping for solutions.

I do not get the hype but than again every player IU has ever gotten has been hyped up on message boards.

Is it as much as you hype up Belein? I have missed the hyping.

Where has the hyping of Windham happened? He's an Indiana All Star btw. So he's a top 12 player from our state at minimum.

Almost every single post about Windham:

"Great to see an Indiana kid that shoots it well and wants to be at IU. Hope he competes hard, red shirts to gain strength, and can contribute in practice and as an upperclassman."

Bailey:

"I do not get the hype..."
