I think they'd be Top 25 no matter what. But that run helps. And it's normal for that to happen in the polls. Just depends which way a team goes...

 

12/13- Louisville starts out top 5 after a Final Four run and wins the title

13/14- Wichita State goes on a Final Four run in 2013(losing to UofL), started out 16, finished 35-1

22/23- UNC... Well yea.

Either way it happens in all forms. Indiana got the benefit of it by being ranked #1 in 2012-2013 to begin the year. All about seeing the potential of the team and you're right, sometimes it doesn't materialize.

I don't disagree that they would start top 5 next year.  Was just saying they really aren't a top five team regardless of ranking.  It's hard to overachieve two years in a row.

Unless he's a grad.  Not sure -- he played two years at Temple and last year sat at due to injury, so if he did graduate in three years he wouldn't need the waiver.

Read somewhere he needs one and Illinois fans are not too happy about it

Ray J Dennis announces he's going to Baylor instead of UI. I love it.

He also would fill Illinois' last scholarship.

Yea, pretty sure some aren’t happy he filled the last spot if he can’t play

My Screaming Eagles landed a big transfer in UConn’s Yarin Hasson this morning

Reeves or Mongo Mike? Who do you prefer? I might be in the minority, but I'm leaning towards MM , I like his size, court vision, and his ball handing. I think his shooting could improve with some good coaching.

Reeves.  Wouldn't tie up a scholarship for upcoming classes, put up better numbers against better competition, and he's 6'4 so not exactly small.  We need shooting/scoring that the Dayton kid hasn't shown yet.

Reeves and it isn't even close.

Not that it couldn’t happen but I feel like expecting coaching to improve someone’s shooting is a bit of a pipe dream.

Reeves, better shooter and won't tie up a scholarship

Top uncommitted scorers left in the portal, none of whom have been tied to IU at any point.

I know most people want an experienced shooting guard but I could see CMW taking a look at him.

Assorted journo's have called out Ole Miss and Texas as having the inside track here given previously established relationships.

This is in response to the UK fanbase freak out over missing out on Isaiah Miranda, a player I’d want no part of. Wow, is that thing sideways right now.
Maybe Joey Hart can do better.

Late regular season, around their loss to Georgia, I wondered if a Cal/UK split might be good for both parties. They rallied and the noise died down, but I still wonder if that’s the case.

One issue right now is I don’t know if there’s a real obvious coach that screams “next UK HC” out there. They’re not going to poach from the reigning champ. Oats and/or Muss make sense, but their current schools would pony up to keep them. Painter is a wild card IMO but I don’t really see it for either side.

I would highly recommend they go after the guy at Rhode Island.

Nah I want the series to come back and actually mean something. They can hire Crean

Mike Davis, final offer.

I don't really care about it "meaning something", I want to beat them so badly they shutter the program out of pure embarrassment.

Imagine firing the guy bringing in another top recruiting class.
