Grad transfer can go anytime I believe. 

I assumed that. But it still seems weird.

This late in the year I agree.

I think this was a needed change for all parties

Another tweak so all the players are on the same timeline --

Starting in 2024-25 after this season, grad transfer players will be subject to notify they are transferring on the same schedule undergrad transfers do. It will also apply to grad transfers seeking a waiver for eligibility.

DMV kid. Had an IU offer. Hardly played last year due to, I believe, a hamstring and then a broken finger that required surgery. You can just feel the Georgetown wheels turning.

An issue that could occur is that sometimes players don't know if they are going to be able to get the necessary courses/credits to graduate.  Could be pretty sticky if a player puts his name in the portal, program moves on from him, and then he's unable to get the credits to graduate.

In all the arguing about this staff, this roster, how sure everyone is that we need to move on, how sure everyone is we can’t trust this staff, how EVERYONE knew we needed more guards, etc etc.

I decided to go back and read from March on in this thread last night. 

I have been wrong plenty of times. Get that out of the way first. But some of you are so sure of yourselves, yet if you read back on some of these takes you all had here, WOW. I didn’t quote all them but seriously, it is a VERY interesting read.

Few highlights - and many of these are from posters that love to show their knowledge. Many of these takes had tons of likes and agreements. 

- we are LOADED at guard - in fact, PG is so loaded with Cupps we shouldn’t even be wasting scholarships on it.

- X, Trey and Cupps is 3 PGs - you can’t even get another veteran PG if you tried (hmmm, funny that is considered crazy now as the reason we didn’t)

- Cupps will be better than Yogi freshman year

- we are stacked at guard and need post players. We are loosing so much scoring Woody has to focus on the post. We are fine at guard. 

- Sparks is enough. Very talented D1 starter who will get his 20 mpg and we should not look for more. (This was prior to Ware and posters saying we should be done)

- lots and lots of players called out going into portal that are blowing it up this year that a chorus of posters dismissed as not good enough for IU or Big Ten.

- Cupps is better than Bradon Smith and isn’t even close. 

- Gunn and Banks are very intriguing as starters for us next year. With those guys, X, Trey, Malik, add Cupps we are one wing in player away from a top 25 team. Lots of agreement on that front. That was prior to MM or Ware.

There were a few takes that worried about double post, etc but if I was to grade it. This board got a D on seeing the gaps. how players were graded and roster construction needs.

The general feeling outside of a very select few was out guard situation was loaded. Zero need for more and we had plenty of returning talent. The hope and consensus was Malik can and should play the 5 (if Malik played the 5 this year we get murdered more than we have)

who knows what will happen with the staff and roster but maybe, just maybe we can all be a little more humble vs being so damn sure we know better. 

P.S. - if I was to pick a winner after reading back over all of this speculation on roster building, projecting of players etc @Loaded Chicken Sandwich was the most spot on. Some of you had takes you may want to delete haha - don’t be too happy LCS - you loved you some Banks and Gunn. 

This is some of the lamest sh*t I've seen in all the years I've been on these various boards. 

Insecure much, guy?

And yes, that was a bad take I had there.

I figured he would be following players twitter accounts to see who they are following.

It’s a free message board what do you expect.   People are going to post hot takes and their thoughts.   Going back and reposting peoples old takes isn’t going to change that.   lol.   I was a d bag once and did this after Miller got fired I went back and posted some people’s old takes to prove a point and the only point I proved was I was an a..      everybody has takes that if people want to go back in time and post what they were they could at anytime but at the end of the day what’s it matter.  Crappy move man

Not strange when every time I make a comment about Cupps he laughs at my post like he is stalking me. That is the strange behavior in my opinion.

But the real funny part was I didn’t pick his take on purpose. I chose one and then recapped many posts.

The amount of terrible, I mean terrible takes 90% of this board had should give many pause on them being so sure they are right now. 

The entire post was beyond lame lol. Get real

[RaceToTheTop 27,773]

Just my two cents.....Ngw and I had a very contentious start but that ended awhile back.  Ultimately there are two paths:  move on or keep rehashing the past.  Bringing up months old items, just as USPS said, isn't going to advance any conversation and likely will only make people less likely to read what you do post going forward.

Honestly, I would expect some logic to be used and honest debate. Instead I get - this has to be an act. This must be Woody or his agent. 

I regularly now add things like “in my opinion” - “I have been wrong before” - to make sure I am not coming off as having every answer. But those same posters are 100% contradicting what they said 11 months ago. Complete 180 on “we all knew” - know, you didn’t.  Now you for sure do and this guy must be nuts to disagree and won’t hear anything else. 

who the heck cares if it was a bad take? We ALL have them. My point is the assurdness right now is crazy to me.  It is hypocritical as hell

Maybe this isn’t the board for you.   Maybe there are other IU boards out there with posters that post what you are looking for.   This place isn’t for everyone

Heck @Hovadipo is the worst one. The guy has replied to me with nothing but attacks and smart @$$ comments. Not a single reply that hasn’t been one of those two in a year. But do as I say, not as I do. 

If you had an ounce of self-awareness I probably wouldn’t be so hard on you, but your insufferable “some fans that don’t agree with me” schtick wore thin on me a good, long while ago.

My schtick - tell me more. The irony 

It’s not ironic because my schtick is being the dry smart@$$. I own it. It’s my brand. 

If you just outright admitted that you thought you were smarter than every person you disagree with, I wouldn’t have to call it a schtick. I’d just call it what you are.

Have left off and on for awhile. Debate many times on just sticking to Twitter where there is less attacks than here.

see my other reply -that is my issue. Do as I say, not as I do. Ok for him to be that way but not me. 

Worrying about what others post as an emoji on a free message board is a tough way to go on a message board.    I’m guessing most posters give 2 craps what other people think of their posts I know I don’t.  I post my thoughts and move on if people agree cool if not that’s fine also.  I know what kind of platform I’m posting on I know this isn’t some high school debate team where a long thought out  discussion or debate is going to happen.   Looking for that here isnt going happen especially when the team in question is playing line they are.

Figured we had an early and unexpected entry into the portal with all the sudden activity in this thread.
