Are we the new Arkansas in the portal now?  Seems every kid has Arkansas and Indiana as contacted or showing interest! LOL

Yup, just like Arkansas—except for those Elite Eights and S16. Other than that…

Just want to go ahead and thank everyone ahead of time who is going to keep up with the portal news this offseason. It won’t be easy.

We’ve obviously thrown a bunch of names speculatively around here but the only ones specifically mentioned as being contacted by IU so far off the top of my head are Slajchert and Foster. Am I forgetting guys?

Morgan Safford, 6'5" small forward in the portal.  Sat out 2023-24 to deal with mental health issues.  Played two years at Wofford before transferring to Miami (O).

His one season at Miami, he averaged 15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.  Shot 47/35/79.

N.J. Benson, 6'8" power forward, Missouri State.  4 star recruit out of high school.  8.6 points and 7.9 reb in 22 mpg last year.  Solely an inside player.

Benson's teammate Chance Moore also enters the portal.  6'6" wing.  10.7 ppg and 5.3 reb.  Shot 41/30/62

Waking up without hope even in the transfer portal era.

Woody could land 3 NBA talents, bring back our best 3 and I’ll still doubt him.

6-8? Inside only? Oh he will be at the top of Woody's list.

Not to my knowledge.

The Scott's are running to the cash machine. Maybe we buy a kid a tractor.

 I'm usually fairly optimistic but I see this program circling the drain.Last night was affirmation that Woody's too stubborn and a one trick pony.If I was a shooter this is the last place I'd want to play.

IU this year is a straight comp to Michigan last year.

IU next year may very well be what Michigan was this year. Maybe not, but it kinda seems so.

Eerily similar in so many ways. One thing not discussed out-loud but the NET factors into our 19-14 finish. We won a lot of close games. 10-2 in games by 6 points.

My scoop for the morning.

Look for Cupps to be a transfer citing lack of structure at IU from coaching staff. (He won’t cite that but that will be the reason)

I am not Cupps biggest fan, that’s for sure, but I’d imagine McNeely’s family citing much the same things.

For the love of all things, this is ugly.

Yeah…….that kid is legit. A little polishing and he’s a 1st rounder.

Not that I can think of. I was just being a smartass since the portal seems to be woody’s only strategy for getting players.

Woodson couldn't win with NBA talent. No reason to think he could win with significantly worse talent (CBB). 

 

EDIT: I'm expecting news of Gunn, Banks, Sparks, Mackenzie, and Gabe of transferring by Monday evening.

Has Woodson or the Simon-Skojdt's announced who will be managing our new Department of Strong-@$$ Offers?
